    I think it’s funny, because bukkake is just a noun, kind of meaning to splash or pour something over something else. There are even dishes called bukkake, e.g. bukkake soba. But since in the anglosphere it pretty much exclusively refers to the sexual act, that just has a very different connotation.

      Sorry to pick nits, but if the definition is “to pour something over something else,” that’s a verb.

        ぶっ掛け (bukkake) is a noun, like “a splash of coffee.”

        ぶっ掛ける (bukkakeru) is a verb, like “I like to splash around.”

        Granted, bukkake isn’t that kind of splash, it’s rather “they splashed water on the flames.”

            Not quite the same, although interesting!

            In this case, “Bukkake” is a noun in both English and Japanese. “Bukkakeru” with the “ru” on the end is the verb form that the noun comes from. English didn’t change it, the picking of nits above just wasn’t quite correct.

              Technically the other poster’s definition of bukkake was what was not quite correct, the nits I picked were based on that.

                Haha fair enough. It’s kind of hard to define a nominalized verb in English, I feel, so I’d give it to him, but you’re free to pick all the nits 😂

      Kinda like when I asked my daughter what she was watching and she said mukbang videos… (Unsure of the spelling). I was like WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING??
