Anecdote
My boss told a story yesterday that I thought was hilarious:
"So I was in Yemen in the early 90s and and I ran into this group of Italians who had been traveling around. Everywhere they went, little kids surrounded them saying "قلم!قلم! قلم!" "galam!galam!galam!" , which they had come to think meant "hello." But galam actually means "pen." They were asking for pens.
