So, I found out the other week that the way that you tease a person named "Simon" in Spanish is to call them "Simon Ptolemy," since "Simon Tolomeo" sounds like "Si monto, lo meo" ('if I mount him, I p*ss on him').
That really make me like Spanish better, as a language.
It's like some shit out of Rabelais, only it's now, and people still find it funny. It's totally like vestigial obscene wordplay from the early modern era.
