    Portugal uses “rabo” or “cu”. “Bunda” is more a Portuguese Brazilian thing.

    It has some differences like UK English and US English.

    It’s this meant to be ass as in your rear end? Or like a donkey? If it’s the further the UK is actually arse. Ass is north American

      This is not a 100% accurate. I guess it is based on some translation tool. Arabic word used is standard Arabic which is very polite. Dialects use other words depending on the degree of vulgarity. Many countries have the same different words to describe the same. Think of it like ass, rear and bottom.

    The Arabic “muakhirah” means something like “the behind”. Funny enough, it shares some roots with the word “muta’akhir” which means “being late” and “akhir” which means “the latest”. It’s polite and used even in some dialects to just refer politely to it. Every dialect though has other specific words that are more vulgar. Some are different in every country. Egyptians would use “Tiz” to refer to it and Moroccans would use the more vulgar “Zok”. Middle Eastern countries also often use “Tiz”.

    In Hungarian it says “segglyuk”, but that means “asshole”. It should be “segg” to match “ass”.

    Kont in Dutch - English’s closest major relative - is very interesting.

    Presumably it’s cognate with cunt, which reminds me of the different meanings of fanny in UK/US English.

    Also Finnish and Estonian both with perse - cool, they’re both Uralic so that makes sense. And just below them dirsa seems so similar, despite Latvian being Indo-European. But then along comes their Uralic buddy Hungarian with the utterly dissimilar segglyuk.
