I've never worked out why it's pronounced 'eye-key-a'. Surely, being Swedish, it should be 'ik-ay-a'?

That's how they pronounce it in most of the world.

I thought all of the world pronounce it their way.
Ie. in Poland it is 'ik-eh-a' (although in fact, only english acronyms are spelled english way ie. 'beh-em-vuh' instead of 'beh-em-veh', but KFC as 'kay-ef-see')

Fuc ty. Really? Sure? I have never heard of this phrase

Don't worry, there's a Russian word in Lithuanian one. I think that map is full of shit.

Belgium does not swear!

Quote from ACCAkut :

The Italian one is also wrong. "Cazzo sì" means "F*ck yeah", the correct one for "F*ck you" is "Vaffanculo" or more precisely "Fottiti".

Norwegian and Swedish are wrong too. Literally speaking it's saying 'Satan Take you"

Quote from ACCAkut :

"Krijg de pleuris" - Only in Amsterdam. Never heard anyone else say that.

And it's not "YEBIE SE" but Jebi se in the Balkans..

Actually faen is the right expression. When talking about the devil we could use satan, but very seldom would faen be used as a other word for the devil.

I guess German is the only correct one.

nop, finnish and english too

Latvian correct.

And Spanish, although "Que te jodan" is a bit more common :bananadea

PS: Damn I miss swearing in Spanish, too many years abroad

Quote from Litro :

Yes,but for the record for others,it's no translation from English/German.
