    Dumb shit?

    I have known a Laotian couple for years. One, the wife, is named Dumb. The husband's name is Key. It makes me kinda chuckle because I think the word Key in Lao means dookie.
    I'm not implying they are dumb shits at all. They knew enough to bug out. Just funny that names take on different connotation around the globe.

    So the question lies, what funny or quirky names have you noted on your trips around the world.

    Teflers must have heard a few.

    I used to go camping and fishing, miss fish along, with a lady named Doe. If you think about Doe sometimes I think it more of a deja vu. Not like a deer, unless you happen to hit one. Then you'd say dough.

    The wife is now explains not all keys are the same. Go figure.

    BTW I know a boy named Sue.

    Well let me see? I know of a guy called Fishlocker.

    Fish means to cast a net to catch the unwary or unlucky.

    A locker is a small, usually narrow storage compartment. (usually used by Arabs to smuggle pork)

    My good sir I have never smuggled any pork much less an Arab. The thought never crossed my mind.
    Is there any money in that or does one do it for fun or prestige. Please do tell.
    I know a guy named Komphon........I call him tampon. Are you on the rag as well. If so spill it. We have the time.

Ricky, Ricky,Ricky let me go to the show..............Babaloo. She rattles on in Spanish........Don't know what she is saying but it sure sounds sexy. Jow soualie......

    Among the Viets, Dung (pronounced Yoong) is a common name. When they migrated to the US after the Vn war, many chose diff western names.

    Heard that Thais with the name/nickname Porn change their names too, when they do grad studies abroad. Can't blame them.

    I said see you later to her sister. Then she slapped me. I don't know why.

    My wife said I can't see her sister or her nieces. Just her or it will cost me.

    Had a GF named Peach, she had a twin sister called Pear

    Believe it or not their brother was called Somchai, I'd imagine he feels a bit left out, unless he's a vegetable of course.

    That's funny.
    Seriously I worked with a guy who's last name was Puter.

    I figured his sister was named Cherry. Nothing wrong with a Cherry Puter. Or a Rosey one for that matter.

    Now Hairy that's another story. Who likes Hairy Puter. A few I'd imagine but not me.

    Hot and sweaty in summertime, imagining the dingle berries. Yuck.

    Here in HK, all the kids I teach have English names.

    Had one guy called Evans. He told me one day he had changed it to Pap Smear! WTF?

    I asked him how he chose it and he said he'd heard the word somewhere and it sounded Israeli so he liked it.

    I told him what the name meant and now he has called himself Andy.

    In Thailand, I taught a couple of twins called Ham and Cheese.

    Reminds me. I worked with a young Viet engineer. His name. Ho Ho. We made an employee badge with the name Don Ho. He wore it proudly until he found out why everyone asked if he would sing "tiny bubbles" for them. Then changed his name to Michael. .
