Fun fact: “praf” (seen in the website domain, praf.me) in Romanian means dust.

If you say “you are praf” in Romanian it means that you are f*cked, wasted, done for, etc.

The same word is "prach" in Czech: dust, powder. The "ch" sounds like "kh" (soft k?). In Czech slang prachy means cash, money.
In Russian прах means ashes.
