Talk:pijpen


 * Hello. This was given as a translation of, but it's apparently neither the right register (colloquial/vulgar instead of standard), nor the right part of speech (verb instead of noun. Unless it's a plurale tantum?); thus I've . Do you approve?

Also, 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬 are given as vulgar translations; is that correct? --Per utramque cavernam 10:39, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I think it is the most normal and common term for fellatio and it is often used as a noun. I'm not really sure how the register should be tagged; it wouldn't really be shocking in a more formal text but I'd expect it to be more common in colloquial language. What do you think?

 * pijpen as a verb means playing the flute, compare the English playing the pipes and the Dutch expression naar iemands pijpen dansen: 'dancing to someone else's tune'. The current meaning I would indeed consider vulgar.--DrJos (talk) 14:54, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
 * It's the same as English "to blow". Vulgar in as much as at is a somewhat vulgar thing to talk about, but not particularly vulgar as a word.

 * Het is a verb and means to blow (a whistle). It is a week verb: "het pijpen" means 'the blowing (of a whistle)', "de pijpen" is the plural of "de pijp", 'the pipe'. --DrJos (talk) 10:28, 18 May 2018 (UTC)


 * I don't think it is a vulgar word as such; it wouldn't be an inappropiate in an academic text referring to fellatio. "Pijpen werd door 40% van de respondenten beoefend in de laatste twee maanden." wouldn't be marked by an editor for revision. But this is just one possible test for vulgarity/slang. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  13:47, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
