Most probably none of those are proper IPAs. The 'I' in IPA stands for India. IPA is only half-done, if it did not travel on a sailboat around the Africa from England to India.

It's literally water. Russian voda (water) + ka (diminutive suffix). Vodka = "little water".

Smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of preterm birth, and child mortality soon after birth. Second hand smoke isn't healthy for babies, either. It increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, among other, slower and probably more painful ways of dying.

Well, it kinda, sorta does.

Hentai is a compound of 'hen' and 'tai', which mean 'weird' and 'appearance', respectively. Hentai means 'transformation' or 'abnormality'. If we're talking about sex, it's usually shortened from 'hentai seiyoku', 'abnormal sexual want', or to put it bluntly, perversion.

women can move anywhere on their row/column/diagonal

Not all of them. Pawns are women, too, because they can be promoted to queens but not to kings. They can also be promoted to bishops, which means that women are accepted into clergy by chess' church.

I suppose you're right. In my defense, my reference point for "box on wheels" is Volvo 240, and compared to that Volvo S80 doesn't seem that boxy.

I thought box on wheels was 70's and 80's. The same era when sports cars were doorstops on wheels. And by all gods, they were hideous.

Hen tai literally means 'weird appearance'. Hentai van is weird looking, usually Japanese van, for example Nissan S-Cargo.
