| Note | This word originates in austro-hungarian times, when Hungarian soldiers had to understand german commands. The original word was "fassen", meaning: to get sthg. from the store of the army. The distorted and nowadays used hungarian version has a piquant overtone as it resembles the word for prick (fasz). |
