Well, one thing I notice in Vogons is diversity. 😀 Apparently, a large part of us doesn't come from English-speaking country. I'm an Indonesian, Malik is a Malaysian, while Wolverine is a Dane.
Regarding to my own language, there are moments when I laugh when reading certain articles on the internet. This is probably the best. It is a Star Wars vs Star Trek fanfic, featuring an antagonist (an Imperial officer, to be exact) named Grand Admiral Kontol.
Here's an excerpt from the story:
========================
As Karsiss slowly walked around the bridge, watching his crew at work. He smiled to himself as he had the best crew on any Star destroyer in the Imperial Armada. The only crew better being that on the Super Star Destroyer that Grand Admiral Kontol commanded.
'Kontol,' he thought to himself, 'what would the Grand Admiral do if he were here?' Then, as he realized the answer, he chuckled to himself. 'What ever he wanted to do. He wouldn't have to worry about what his superiors thought....since both Darth Vadar and the Emperor himself are now gone. But I can't just decided on this scale. My only choice is to return to our own universe and report to Kontol of this place...then he can return here with a fleet and do what ever he wants. Hmmm...another universe to conquer.'
========================
When reading the story above, I laughed so hard that I spilled my coffee through my nose. And why is that? Because characters in the story speak the word 'Kontol' in such innocent manner, while in Bahasa Indonesia, kontol is the slang word for penis! 🤣
So, if any of you plan to visit my country in the future, don't get fooled if someone told you 'lihatlah kontol saya' means 'good morning'.
Anyone ever has similar experience?
Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....
