Moomba, up yer skirt backwards
Regular readers of this drivel and spew know that I have strong connections to Australia--family there, and I visit regularly and love it very much. I ran across something really funny that I hope will give you a laugh, even though you may not have ever heard of the specifics before.
The city of Melbourne has a huge cultural festival using the Aboriginal word Moomba in its title. It seems the Moomba festival's initial organizers, back in 1954, asked the local Aborigines to suggest a name for all the fun. They were told that moomba means 'lets get together and have a great time.' The grateful organizers subsequently used the name.In hindsight, the organizers really should have been suspicious that 'lets get together and have a great time' could be expressed in two syllables. In reality, 'moom' means 'ass', 'buttocks', or 'anus', while the suffix 'ba' means 'in', 'at' or 'on'.
So "moomba" actually means 'in the ass.'
Oh, those wacky aborigines!

"Since its inception in 1955, the festival has given generations of Melbourne families many special childhood memories."
Above is from the page and I had to chuckle at it thinking that they have been enjoying it "in the ass" since 1955.
Could be a mission statement for the Catholic Church:
Providing many special childhood memories of receiving it "in the ass" since the beginning.
;)
HAHAHAHA!!!!!
The Aborinise sound like a group the would be a blast to have a beer or two with.
Just keep your pants on.
