You can’t say “bukkake” on the internet now?

    I think it's funny, because bukkake is just a noun, kind of meaning to splash or pour something over something else. There are even dishes called bukkake, e.g. bukkake soba. But since in the anglosphere it pretty much exclusively refers to the sexual act, that just has a very different connotation.

    Sorry to pick nits, but if the definition is "to pour something over something else," that's a verb.

    ぶっ掛け (bukkake) is a noun, like "a splash of coffee."

    ぶっ掛ける (bukkakeru) is a verb, like "I like to splash around."

    Granted, bukkake isn't that kind of splash, it's rather "they splashed water on the flames."

    i would change your first example to "a splash of cream in your coffee". in english that implies the sense of scale.

    No, they're explaining it to primarily Americans, who typically don't get a splash of cream in their coffee, so much as they get a splash of coffee in their milkshake.

    Thus, it works correctly.

    since you're going to pedant, pedant correctly. they don't get coffee in their milkshake, they get espresso. when they get coffee, they get a splash of milk.

    No, I am talking about Starbucks drinks, Frappucinos, which are basically milkshakes, that have vague hints of actual coffee in them, where the majority of the 'coffee' flavor somes from flavored syrups or chips or powders of some kind.

    Those are far, far more commonly imbibed in the US, compared to the rest of the world, than the more traditional coffee with a splash of something, or a dirty 'whatever' via adding an espresso shot, a traditional latte, etc.

    Well, then I'm glad that you have better taste and more general concern for your health than a great deal of modern US 'coffee' enjoyers.

    Really, a frappucino everyday is... quite a lot of sugar... not good for you, and I've known a lot of people who are basically addicted to the things.

    ... I think my favorite actual, proper, caffinated drinks are a dirty chai latte, and a dirty london fog.

    I've also found that a tiny dab of actual, real butter, into a cup of fairly dark coffee, and then maybe a splash of milk... that seems to be how I like to take my coffee.

    You?

    at home, i take it dark with a dash of cinnamon in with the grounds and maybe a tablespoon of oat milk. at my favorite coffee shoppe (they are fancye enough to deserve the e) i'm very basic i just get their cappuccino like half the time. there's a really good cuban place down the street what just opened that's got a cortadito to die for though (I normally don't add sugar - not a diabetes thing, a I want to eat candy thing so I eat a diabetic diet and get my sugars in later thing. Hedonism can get weird.)

    It's the noun form of the verb bukkakeru. Japanese is weird.

    "fondant" is an equivalent, from the French "to melt" its now a noun.

    Not quite the same, although interesting!

    In this case, "Bukkake" is a noun in both English and Japanese. "Bukkakeru" with the "ru" on the end is the verb form that the noun comes from. English didn't change it, the picking of nits above just wasn't quite correct.

    So basically, bukkake/bukkakeru is nearly a direct translation to 'splooge'.

    https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/splooge

    Where you can splooge your splooge all over someone, and then you'll have splooged your splooge on them.

    And maybe you can be splooging untill the sun comes up, and people will say 'nobody else splooges like that guy'.

    So, silly examples, but you can see 'splooge' is both the noun for the... resulting liquid, and also the verb for ... 'creating' it, expelling it.

    Not exactly the same, grammatically, but pretty close.

    You mean that soba wasn’t supposed to have cum on it?

    I'm too lazy to remake this meme because of censorship. Unfortunately, this is how memes are trending thanks to AI and algorithms
