munalukko
Finnish edit
Etymology edit
muna (“egg”) + lukko (“lock”). As this is a colloquial term, the origin of the modifier muna has been long forgotten. According to one theory, it refers to the shape of the lock, others believe that it may be derived from the colloquial sense of muna, which is "dick" or "balls".
