Fun Fact of the Day

Have you ever listened to Bohemian Rhapsody?  Seen Wayne's World? Or read The Chronicles of Narnia?

Then you know Azərbaycani.

Well, you know some Azərbaycani.

Exhibit 1: "Aslan," from the Chronic(what!)cles of Naria, means "lion" in Azərbaycani.

Exhibit 2: "Bismillah," from "Bohemian Rhapsody" (as in: "Let him go! Bismillah! We will not let you go-o-o-o!"), means "in the name of God" in Azərbaycani.  I've learned of it's use in two situations so far:

1. As an exclamation: if someone startles you, you might say "Bismillah!"; and 
2. As a preface to an action: you might say this prior to rinsing out a glass and tossing the water out the window or before you start tinkering with some electrical wiring.
