Saudi Arabia rejects Pakistani diplomat because his name means “huge penis” in Arabic

February 9, 2010, 5:35 pm · 14 comments

This is the kind of story you can’t make up. Akbar Zeb is a Pakistani diplomat with a big problem. In Arabic, his Urdu name sounds more like the name of a porn star.

That's "Ambassador Huge Penis" to you.

Fox News reports the flaccid details:

The Arabic transaltion of Akbar Zeb to “biggest d**k” has overwhelmed Saudi officials who have refused to allow his post there.

Zeb has run into this problem before when Pakistan tried to appoint him as ambassador to the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, where he was rejected for the same reason, according to Foreign Policy.

We must admit that we are surprised to learn that Akbar Zeb means “big prick.” We thought that’s what Rahm Emanuel meant.

You’re too kind – Olbermann is what happens to an old, little prick in ice water.

The story is on page 2 of Digg with over 200 Diggs (please go Digg it more if you can). Here are some interesting things I picked up from the many comments there:

Here is a Google Translation of the name.

Here is the Wikipedia page for him, and you’ll get a laugh out of it

I sent this to my usual contacts, I seen some posts, but only one response. My Friend may just get it. I couldn’t agree more…

Deal with that all the time……………….it’s either “Big Dick “or asshole. Big Dick seems to get more calling, though……………………………….HaHa

I get the impression that Akbar Zeb could take this as a compliment & start bragging. I know I have friends who would do just that.
