A recent Saturday Night Live skit had some made up names that sounded vaguely Arabic to American ears, but also sounded uh… ribald? vulgar? funny? to English speakers.
For example:
M’Balz Es-Hari
Graabir Boubi
Haid D’Salaami
Hous Bin Pharteen
My question: Has anyone ever seen this done to English? That is a name that sounds vaguely English (to a Lithuanian, say) but actually means something in Lithuanian.
I’m most interested in languages I know a little, Spanish, German, French, etc. , but if ya got something in Xhosa, lay it on me!
