*lol*

Meaning of the Pronunciation of peach in Turkish is even famous on this forum. Yes, in Turkish Piç means Bastard. Pronunciation is very similar to peach in English. I would definitely recommend you NOT to ask for peach at supermarket if you're not familiar with neighborhood nor able to speak Turkish. You'll become target while you're trying to explain yourself.

Lager. It might confuse your Dutch colleagues if you were to ask for a ‘lager’ when having a few drinks with them after work. Lager means ‘storage’ in Dutch. Lager means lower and storage is storage in ducth it's opslagruimte. I dnt know where u found the other meanings of the words
