Yā Ḥasan! Yā Ḥosain! Hosseen Gosseen. Hossy Gossy. Hossein Jossen. Hobson-Jobson. “Cockroach” es inglés para cucaracha. You can’t put lipstick on a pig, but you can put lipstick on a man. Excuse me while I kiss this guy. A mondegreen is a misunderstood or misinterpreted word or phrase resulting from a mishearing of the lyrics of a song.[1] It used to be Smoked Meat Blues, but now it’s just Bleu Moo.[2] ‘It isn’t nice to tar us with the same brush and make us appear to be mumpsimuses like yourself.’[3]
