Anatolia is the westernmost extension of the asian continent, and an area awash in history. Home to the ancient cities of
Troy,
Halicarnassus and
Heraclea; site of world-changing battles like
Granicus,
Issus and
Ipsus; Anatolia has been part of some of the most important civilizations in world history:
Rome,
Persia, the
Achaemenids and the
Byzantines.
Around the 11th century CE, groups of
Turkic tribes began settling the region, and by the 13th century had established both their dominance over the region and an empire, the
Ottoman, which would last until the
First World War, and would cause all Christendom to tremble at the name the Turk. Now that is some bombastic storytelling!
Anywho, the word ortabacak is a euphemism for the penis in
Turkish. it literally translates to "the middle leg." Here at the Penis-word Resource we are still waiting for a slang term for penis that translates as "tiny little appendage" or "the 11th finger" and yet is not considered insulting.
