And 'Mouammar Gaddafi' Means 'Addlepated Potentate,' Right?

A Steynonline reader enlightens us re the meaning of Moussa Koussa:

Mark, just thought you’d like to know that “koussa” in Egyptian means “squash” (just the vegetable, not a specific dish or variety of the vegetable.) And, ironically, “koussa” is also Egyptian slang for bribery, cronyism, favoritism, or a combination off all three.

What a perfect name for a (former) Gaddafi factotum--sort of like the "moil" who's last name is Foreskin.
