Things out of context

I always laugh when you hear words from another language used in English. No I know English is a jumble of other languages but it is just funny how people try and pronounce things. However English isn't alone in this. In Bwanabwana the language where I grew up in PNG the word for a really big fish is a "Biggie Bugger" (pronounced Biggi Bugga) But the bwanabwana people would swear it it has always been in their language.
Soon however we might see the words Billabong and Jumbuck become part of Spanish Vocabulary. See if you reconise the song from A Spanish Orange Mobile Add

They didn't even get the words right! I guess singing about boiling a Billy might have been just a bit too confusing for the spaniards :P
