If you don't pronounce "printf" as "print-F" but closer to /'print(h)f/ it kinda sounds like someone saying "prince" with a lisp (or with a local anaesthetic impairing the range of movement of their tongue).

I think Northern European languages like Dutch, Swedish or maybe even Polish might have a word which could better describe the sound? I can't think of any Croatian words that get close to it.
