Polynesians call sweet potatoes kumara/kumera. Here in dog's own they
say "sucked the kumara" when something craps out.  Or thay say it's
stuffed. With kumaras?

A vision of lots of smoking Vanagons sucking on kumaras in the States...

Kiwis can't spell bungee, either. A local tourist-frightener called A
J Hackett runs bungee-jumping in various places. He misspells it
"bungy". He must have a bung up his... arse.
