Some friend from USA told me, the word "handy" there is used as synonyme for "vibrator". Is that true? She told me that after I explained this word, which we use for "mobile telephone". Did I misunderstand something? Can explain someone? If this is true, should'nt it be mentioned in the article? -- 212.186.100.35 23:51, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

I have never heard of "handy" used as a noun in American English, and nothing to do with a vibrator. It is only an adjective and it can mean zur Hand, leicht erreichbar, bequem, handlich, gelegen, and also gewandt or geschickt. —Stephen 17:20, 14 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
It seems like you should focus on English varieties first. "handy" is indeed a word for "handjob". --2.245.155.8 23:08, 11 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
