    Hungarian pengő

    The pengő (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈpɛŋɡøː], sometimes written as pengo or pengoe in English) was the currency of Hungary between 1 January 1927, when it replaced the korona, and 31 July 1946, when it was replaced by the forint. The pengő was subdivided into 100 fillér. Although the introduction of the pengő was part of a post-World War I stabilisation program, the currency survived for only 20 years and experienced the most serious hyperinflation ever recorded.

    Name

    The Hungarian participle pengő means 'ringing' (which in turn derives from the verb peng, an onomatopoeic word equivalent to English 'ring') and was used from the 15–17th century to refer to silver coins making a ringing sound when struck on a hard surface, thus indicating their precious metal content. (The onomatopoeic word used for gold coins is csengő, an equivalent of English 'clinking' meaning a sharper sound; the participle used for copper coins is kongó meaning a deep pealing sound.) After the introduction of forint paper money in Hungary, the term pengő forint was used to refer to forint coins literally meaning 'ringing forint', figuratively meaning 'silver forint' or 'hard currency'.

    Pengo (video game)

    Pengo (ペンゴ) is an arcade game developed by Coreland and published by Sega in 1982. The player controls Pengo, a red penguin that resides in the Antarctic. The game takes place in an overhead maze made of ice blocks, where Pengo fights the trolling, blob-like Sno-Bees. The objective of the game is for Pengo to survive a series of rounds by eliminating all Sno-Bees, while amassing bonuses by bringing together the three diamonds dispersed in the maze.

    Gameplay

    The player uses a joystick and a single button to control Pengo, a penguin character. Pressing the button while pushing the joystick will cause Pengo to push forward the ice block he is facing, which will slide until it hits a wall or another ice block, crushing any intervening Sno-Bees. Crushing more than one Sno-Bee at once will increase the number of points awarded. There are a total of sixteen levels, which repeat in order starting on the seventeenth round.

    I'm lyin' here on the floor where you left me
    I think, I took too much
    I'm cryin' here, what have you done?
    I thought it would be fun
    I can't stay on your life support, there's a shortage in the switch
    I can't stay on your morphine, 'cuz its makin' me itch
    I said, I tried to call the nurse again but she's being a little bitch
    I think I'll get outta here, where I can
    Run just as fast as I can
    To the middle of nowhere
    To the middle of my frustrated fears
    And I swear you're just like a pill
    Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill
