    New LTW tool

    This is the new LTW tool. Can someone please explain this to me:

    http://xivdb.com/?item/2429/Pinga


    Where I come from this word is reserved for seedy bars and dimly lit cigar rooms. Don't get me wrong, I find it a little funny, and I'm not 'up in arms' by any means.

    Can anyone explain this though? I can't be the only one who has noticed this, I mean there's a big South American community for this game and Spanish is the second most spoken language in NA.

    In case you don't really have an idea of what I'm talking about.

    I have tried to look for some kind of roots in different languages for similar sounding words to no avail. Seriously, what's up?

    In Inuit mythology, Pinga ("the one who is up on high") was a goddess of the hunt, fertility and medicine.

    Idk, feel like we could find a lot of dirty words if we're gonna look at slang from every language
