LINGUISTICALLY SPEAKING

In Chinese-Cantonese language there's a word that sounds something like din. It means electric and is used to describe many things which make for amusing translations.

phone is din wa or electric voice
and
computer is din lo or electric brain

but what i really love, is that if you slightly mispronounce the word for computer and say deen lo it means crazy guy.
electric brain = crazy.
