Louis Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 A high-ranking Pakistani diplomat reportedly cannot be appointed ambassador to Saudi Arabia because in Arabic his name translates into a phrase more appropriate for a porn star, referring to the size of male genitals, Foreign Policy reported. 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. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/02/04/diplomat-dirty-word-arabic-rejected-saudi-ambassador/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
