It’s even funnier in Norwegian, where “Du” means “You” and “Ha” means “Have” (infinitive).

You Bong Have!

Bong is the short for Bengali. This is evident from the large red dot signifying the red bindi Bong married women wear. I am kinda uniquely qualified to comment on this :) I own http://www.bonggeek.com and my wife runs the http://www.bongcook.com

Wow… I had forgotten this, but one of the guys in my biochem lab in grad school was named Du Bong Ha. I didn’t know him very well, but favorite name ever.

I used to work with a guy named Bong, which is apparently not an uncommon nickname in the Philippines.

That actually refers to Bengalis (people from the Bengal region of India, also known as “Bongs”).

They sell massive bongs that burn tiny MICROBONGS. You inhale the microbongs which continue burning in the lungs, powered by the simple act of breathing! You’ll be getting high without anyone even noticing.

Hence: The Bong Bong.
