Pardon the vulgar words. This is just a copy paste from an Icelandic dictionary: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/p%C3%ADka

Noun

píka f (genitive singular píku, nominative plural píkur)

    (anatomy) a vulva, a pussy, a cunt
    (vulgar, slang) a bitch

Well, it's also an animal [1]:

> A pika is a small, mountain-dwelling mammal native to Asia and North America. With short limbs, a very round body, an even coat of fur, and no external tail, they resemble their close relative, the rabbit, but with short, rounded ears. The large-eared pika of the Himalayas and nearby mountains lives at elevations of more than 6,000 m (20,000 ft).

I think you’re correct.

“Yeah, does not sound like a SFW click to me. I’ll read the comments first at least.” - My Icelandic brain while scrolling HN.

Honestly, my first thought was the disorder "Pica" [0].

Naming collisions are just a fact of life, I don't think Pika is bad enough so as to make it not useful.

Wonder what Icelanders think of Pika-chu

Haha I had the same thought, I wonder if they have changed it to something else or at least when he talks - "pika pika"

Only words offensive in English count (e.g. Coq). Words offensive in other languages (bit, pika) are ok!

Can't tell if you're sarcastic, or whether you just established some rules that we will now dutifully follow.

In portuguese, pica (written with C but it sounds like K) is slang for dick.
