Saudi Arabia

Just like Kim, some names are just unlucky

It doesn’t happen often.  I’m usually scouring the internet for things that make me shake my head and deem myself better than the rest of humanity but today is different.  If this doesn’t make you giggle your ass off, well…you’re probably Saudi and a devout Muslim and in that case, cool out.  Please don’t kill me.  I just report the facts. 

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.

Kibosh = heave-ho for those scratching their heads.  But seriously, how funny is this?!?  Would the U.S ever reject an ambassador if their name was: Mike Oxhewge?  Or Justin Cider?  or Adolf Oliver Nipples?  This is hysterical!  Well I’m sure that guy will be posted in another Arab coun- I’m sorry….Oh dear.

Pakistan had previously floated Zeb’s name as ambassador to the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, only to have him rejected for the same reason.

Pakistan, cut the shit!  Give this guy a post in a non-Arab speaking country for Pete’s sake.  Well, for the biggest dick’s sake, actually.
