"A high-ranking Pakistani diplomat reportedly cannot be appointed ambassador to Saudi Arabia because in Arabic his name translates into a phrase more appropriate for a porn star..." Maybe they were afraid of the size of his diplomatic pouch.

I just remembered.....put HVAC in a house for a customer many years ago named “Biggerstaff”.
The secretaries had a good giggle when they typed up his invoices.

Not to be confused with the Canadian “zed” for “zero”.

Also "zib," or in Lebanon, "zibadoh." People also laugh about the English word "zipper" and at "unique" because the "nique" part sounds just like the second person singular for one of the things done with the zib.
