This is rich... Guess what "McCain" means in Japanese

[Art_from_Ark]

I was talking about the presidential election tonight with some Japanese. One lady told me that she knew that McCain would lose, as soon as he got the nomination.

"How so?" I asked. "Because of his age? Political views? Ties to bu$h?"

"No," she said, "because of his name."

"His name?"

"Yes, his name. The Japanese word 'makeinu', which is pronounced like 'McCain', means 'loser'-- literally, 'a dog that has lost a fight'. "

[pleah]

1. Oh, that is funny!

2. Then Palin must mean something like...

..skinned moose.

5. "Palin" is a Greek root meaning "backwards," as in

"palindrome," a word or phrase that reads the same backwards or forwards: "Madam, I am Adam."

Backwards she was, no doubt.

I have seen time and time again where a person's name seems to go with their job as well as their personality.
