My name is Ben, so occasionally when I meet indians they laugh at me because of that word. I tell all my japanese friends to call my Benji (Ben means poop in japanese, boo!!!).

I like the name of the Bank in Montreal "Couche-Tard"

Coochie-tard!? HAH!

It's not rude, but I came across a German word 'zusammengehörigkeisgefuhl', which I just quite liked. Not least because of its length.

Also, the in the area on England in which I went to school (Shropshire), the word 'shag' can be used as a friendly term of address, as one would use the word 'mate', perhaps.
