God bless Wikipedia:

Cunnus (vulva)

Horace's Sermones I.2 and I.3 use the word:

Nam fuit ante Helenam cunnus taeterrima belli
causa. . .

which attributes, metaphorically (or more accurately through synechdoche), the cause of the Trojan War to Helen of Troy's vulva.

Mentula ("penis") frequently appears in the poetry of Catullus. Catullus uses Mentula as a nickname for Mamurra, and uses it as an ordinary name, as in his epigram 105:

Mentula conatur Pipleium scandere montem:
Musae furcillis praecipitem eiciunt.

("The penis tries to climb the Pipleian mount (of poetry); the Muses drive him out with pitchforks.")

The widespread verb vituttaa "to feel angry and depressed" originates from its meaning "to want pussy". Therefore, classically, women should not use vituttaa, but kyrpiä or kyrpii "this makes me feel bad".

Runkkari or Runkkuu - In English it means "wanker" and derives from the verb runkata, "to wank".

There's also this list of Scientology terms, most of which are the kind of batshit nonsense you'd expect from an expensive self-help seminar.

affinity-reality-communication (ARC) triangle: a triangle which is a symbol of the fact that affinity, reality and communication act together to bring about understanding. No point of the triangle can be raised without also raising the other two points, and no point of it can be lowered without also lowering the other two points.

Normally I force every page to load in comic sans, I just changed it for the pic.

Comic Sans in green 16pt? Throw some bold italics on top.  That's the ticket. Hello, new default font.  Now whose web browser looks like crap?

Ah, so that's how it's done!  POW!  WHAM!  I've been way too lazy about learning such features.
