Pakistani diplomat, Akbar Zib has been rejected by Saudi officials as Ambassador to Saudi Arabia. The reason? His name translates to "Biggest Dick" in Arabic. The Salem-News of Oregon reports:"Akbar Zib is no newcomer to politics, in fact you could say he's a pretty big deal. This long-ranging high level diplomat has worked with some of the largest members of world governments, players charged with negotiating the outcome of the world's current events."
The Pakistanis must have seen this one coming, as he has been previously rejected to similar posts in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. It remains unclear if the Saudis were offended by the term or if he made them feel insecure. Rumors in Pakistan of his imminent appointment as Ambassador to India are unconfirmed.
