Hi everyone, I'm Dennis from the Netherlands. I'm 17 years old now, but I've been interested in languages for quite some years now. Not only that, but from next September, I'm going to study Japanese language and culture at the University.

Welcome to the forum! Another Japanese learner is always welcome.

I suppose it's some wicked twist of the second part of Arabic's assalamu 3alaykum/salam 3aleykom.

What the hell? No, not anywhere near that. :/

Whalecum = Welcome

It came from the forum FPSBanana (well, that's where I got it from) as a different way to say "welcome" (which "whalecum" sounds like), and is made up of the word "whale" and a slang word for semen, "cum".

Welcome to the Omniglot Forum

(People from my place pronounce it something like ['wɛwkɐm] -_-)

Oh, I guess that's obvious. But whale cum has three syllables and welcome has two. The vowels are different also, so I'm sorry that I didn't get that. Now that I know, if I say it aloud it sounds to me like a stereotypical southern accent. That's a gay way to say it though. lol
