Same reason we have the "titmouse", "spotted dick", and "Soapytitwanck hammers"
And very useful those hammers are too!

That was just to damn funny to go unnoticed.

It does. What it doesn't mean in Swedish is releasing a smelly gas
through your butthole, so it's not the same thing at all. I have another

exactly the same thing with 'jorma' in finnish. like with the former ceo of nokia, jorma ollila.

I once saw a junior high teacher of swedish being interviewed in the news. her name was 'elin alapää'. which would be translated, word for word: 'organ rear-end'. think about the amount of punishment that kind of a name will get you from the teenagers.
