Our Lab is named Jabulani, "Boo" for short. Mrs. Lak told a black co-worker his name was "Boo" and she got all uppity because apparently it's an Ebonics word for "mate" or "friend".

I wanted to name him "fat stupid lazy black nigger welfare cheat" but Mrs. Lak objected.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Ah. That seems to be the basic problem of all British types and those who are associated with them. :console:

Managed to get her talking right yet?

They would go steal his name for a stupid football. Jabulani is a proper name derived from the Zulu (and Swati) root "jabula", meaning "happy". He's actually named after my favorite bartender at Friar Tuck's pub in Swaziland.

His full name in Numzaan Jabulani Tinja, with roughly translates as "Mr. Happy Dog".

Tell me he doesn't look happy:

Considering how much other history gets warped in the movies I really don't think changing Nigger to Digger is going to chance the film that much
