      Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Nah it’s masturbation in Swedish.
More specifically, "en runk" is analogous to "a wank", but it's not idiomatic.
wanking = "att runka"
I wanked = "jag runkade"
I had a wank = "jag tog en runk", non-idiomatic. You'd say "jag runkade". If you want to use a noun, "jag drog en tralla".
so 100% in the tradition of the area of software that thought a good name for its photoshop clone would be "gimp"
fascinating, thanks for mentioning :)
