In colloquial computing Finnish the work for a cache is "kakku", because it's similar in pronunciation. Kakku means "cake". Thus, in Finnish people ask each other how much cake their CPU has.

Language is funny.

@liw I like the word "sorsa" for source code, also mistranslated by choosing a word with similar pronunciation. It means "mallard" or possibly other birds in the Anatidae family, so compiling the source code is "turning the mallard".
