Is there any word that is the same in all languages?
I think "hacker" is an universal word.

Many popular English words may be popular worldwide, due to the influence of English worldwide. Not just "hacker".

Some languages may have local substitutes that are more used or encouraged instead, so even then there is no universal term. In Wikipedia, there are a few languages that do not use "hacker", for example.

I think mama and papa, or very similar terms, is more universal, and more importantly, this was the case long before English became the dominant language worldwide, arising between multiple languages independently, likely due to the m and p consonants being the easiest to pronounce.

Taco

Tamales, the plural of tamal which is the correct way to spell it not "tamale"
Pashtet(a).

'huh'

At least Google says so...

Second closest would be "no"... it at least sound the same and means the same in most languages.

In most languages? Well, no. In most European languages? Yes
It's quite different in languages that are not of Indo-European descent
According to CoD, that word is "Semtex".

Meh... o.k. Mandarin Chinese doesn’t have a specific word for “no”... still

Maybe it's the tone of it more then the actual word... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit:

No.. going back and more research I would still say it is... I said "MOST" not "all"

Third on that list would be "Internet"... and again "MOST" languages... not "all" BUT including Arabic, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Vietnamese... etc.

Well, when you consider all language groups/families, technically European languages would most likely be in a minority. I would lean to a frequently borrowed/loaned word like "internet" being more likely to be the most universal :steamhappy:
Stormy Daniels. Lana Rhoades. Abella Danger. Angela White. Riley Reid. Mia Khalifa.

Yes, I understand you don't like "European" things... I get it. :lunar2019deadpanpig:

...?
I just said that the European language family doesn't actually make up "most" languages, that's not expressing dislike for European things

"No" was going to be my guess for closest.

Isn't the word 'mama' not universal and is what most babies first words are ? Im not sure myself but I have seen it being mentioned on a program once.
