Could you post an example? I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it. I mean, I think you explained it simply enough, but I'm also baffled and feel like I need to see it to try to understand it.
I gotta say, given everything you just said, "For animal use only. Not for human consumption." seems like a woefully insufficient warning label
My East Asian studies prof was the WASPiest mfer on the planet, but even though he was a lib he was very cool: fluent in Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean (like actually fluent, as in he published academic papers in all three languages), and really emphasized how China had strong laws to protect minority ethnic groups (e.g. exemptions from the one-child policy, explicit affirmative action, proportional representation, and language preservation efforts).
Man, and I thought people were parasocical for streamers
Yeah, that was a "wait what?" moment for me...thankfully they didn't dwell on that too long.
I was so confused by this and then I remembered...lmao
Alternative theory:
扱く（こく） means "to pull through one's hand, as when separating grain from the stalk".
By extension, コキ is used in compounds like 手コキ ("handjob") and 足コキ ("footjob") (although crucially not "blowjob", which is just フェラチオ/フェラ borrowing directly from fellatio)
Since machine translation these days is just a huge black box of nodes and weights based on a gigantic text corpus, I'm guessing it effectively takes コキ to be a completely general suffix for -job. Blowjob probably appears far more in its dataset than any of the actual words using コキ as well as more than any other English -job compounds, so even though there isn't a preceding character to give it context it just hallucinates the highest probability -job word based on its model.
If anyone's curious about the train naming convention, I found a handy-dandy page explaining everything (it's HTTP-only, so I've also included a Wayback Machine link):

I am becoming more and more convinced that we are going to have to RETVRN to webrings and manually curated directories
