About Product

Various peoples of the world have the same sign for the email @ on their keyboards, but have different written and spoken names for it. Moreover, its slang names differ as well, but they have a common feature, because most of the users see an animal in the “at”.

The British, Americans, French, and Italians call @ “a snail”. The Dutch, Africans, Poles, and Germans prefer to call it “a monkey tail”. Danes may call it “an elephant’s trunk”; Norwegians say “a pig’s tail”; the Chinese call it “a little mouse”; and Hungarians say “a worm”. Russians and Ukrainians call this sign “a dog” for some reasons, and Finns say it’s “a cat”.

Among the slang names another trend can be traced, namely, the one that has something to do with delicacies. Swedes, for example, call the @ symbol “a cinnamon bun”; the Israelis say “a strudel”; and the Czech say “a herring rollmops”.
