Language is a funny thing. (H/t Beatzo)
In June 2015, the song "Selfie Pulla" from the Tamil film Kaththi became a massive hit and took over the airwaves.
The song, whose chorus translates to "Let's Take A Selfie Picture" in English, has almost 8 million hits on YouTube alone.

But a glance at the comments section tells a very surprising story.

A substantial number of the song's recent views seem to have come from the very NOT-Tamil speaking country of Romania.

And blogger Satyajit Chetri has pointed out the exact reason behind this weird phenomenon taking place – The word "pulla" is slang for penis in the country.
