Apparently a quite able Pakistani diplomat has been rejected as a candidate for ambassador to Saudi Arabia because his name translates as "biggest dick".
According to the Foreign Policy Blog post:
"A high level Pakistani diplomat has been rejected as Ambassador of Saudi Arabia because his name, Akbar Zib, equates to "Biggest Dick" in Arabic. Saudi officials, apparently overwhelmed by the idea of the name, put their foot down and gave the idea of his being posted there, the kibosh."
I really can't make this stuff up!
So I followed the link to the original article at Arab Times and then translated the Arabic page using Google translate. Funny hijinks ensue: link to translation
"...reject the Arab Gulf Cooperation Council to accept the credentials (the biggest cock) a new Pakistani ambassador ..."
"The Pakistani government has decided to appoint (the biggest cock) ambassador in the UAE, but its request was turned down..."
and finally:
"...His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed, President of Pakistan's new ambassador to the State's largest cock ... Who presented his credentials to His Highness Sheikh Khalifa ... And His Excellency (the biggest dick) was pleased to meet His Highness Sheikh who carried (the biggest cock) presents his compliments to the people of Pakistan"

Moving to another part of the world, Southern India, where the name Mahalingham is quite popular. Just Google it, lots of names come up. Why do I bring this up? Because if you break down Mahalingham into it's parts, you get:
Maha - meaning great
Lingha - Phallus
Great Phallus. Mothers have to be pretty sure of their son's (or daughters) future confidence to name them great phallus.
On that note, In the immortal words of the great Johnny Cash: "And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him . . . Bill or George, any damn thing but Akbar Zib or Mahalingham"
Honestly!!! 'Dick' isn't really a BAD word/name/reference at all, I personally like it... and to be called 'Great Phallus' or 'Biggest Dick' is a HUGE compliment ;) at least in my world.
ReplyDeleteAnyways... we shouldn't be so critical of someone's name, rather look to their ACTIONS! Good ol' Billy said it best... "What's in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet."
Akbar Zib abd Mahalingham... ROCK ON brothas! I support you!
