"Saudi Arabia has rejected Pakistan's nominated diplomat as his name translates into 'Biggest Dick' in Arabic.

Akbar Zib, a high profile Pakistani diplomat was nominated for the Saudi post but after some hand-wringing the country had to reject him due to the unfortunate loss in translation.

The diplomatic wrangle appears to bring to life the scene in Monty Python's Life of Brian where a Roman consort called Biggus Dickus is routinely mocked." Read More

Saudi Arabians aren't particularly offended when terrorists blew up Western targets, but they get their panties in a bunch because a Pakistani diplomat's name translates into "Biggest Dick" in Arabic.

“I guess it’d be like if the French sent an ambassador named Max Coque or if China sent us a guy by the name of Lo Hung Wang.”

..except we wouldn't ban him, we would just make fun of him and his country behind their backs.

Biggus Dickus (2AD - 70AD) was a notable Roman legate during the reign of Emperor Tiberius and a close friend of Pontius Pilate. He is possibly best-known to modern scholars for his famous speeches outside the senate house in Rome, known as the “Biggus Dickus Ejaculationus”. He was also notably present in the Roman province of Judea around the time of Jesus Christ. His wife was Incontinentia Buttocks.

Let's win one for the Zibber!

[rmlew]

Not to be picky, but it means “Greatest Dick”

[votemout]

I personally prefer the title of “greatest.”

[Lazamataz]

Well, can they reject him without inspecting him?

[Lazamataz]

How about that, that’s how MY name translates, too. :>)

Waddya think a Mataz is?

And Laza is Sanskrit for Unusually Long.
