Monty Python got some good alliterative mileage out of that term in their movie “And Now For Something Completely Different.” One sequence in the movie is a fake WWII British newsreel, in black and white, with suitably bombastic narration that includes the opening line “Yes, the war against the Hun continues – and as Britian’s brave boys battle against the Boche…” By the standards of genuine WWII newsreels, that’s actually not as over-the-top as it sounds to modern ears. And during a real WWII deception operation, the fake letter from General Nye to General Alexander which was the centrepiece of the “Mincemeat” disinformation scheme used such phrases as “We have had recent information that the Boche have been reinforcing and strengthening their defences in Greece and Crete…”
How many people have your name?

Hey Good news:
There are 0 people in the U.S. named Osama Binladen.
Now for the bad news:
There is 1 person in the U.S. named Rudolf Hess.
osama binladen is not his real name it means son of laden. so it would probablly be osama laden if the son of laden is equvililent to my fathers last name is laden so my last name is laden. might just stand for jr. :|

Yeah… it was a joke anyway so… whatever

Isn’t that the same as Jackson, Johnson, or Erickson?

Muslim men Cange thier names all the time based on significant events in thier life. For example adding “Haji” to you name signifies that you have completed the Haj, the pilgramage to mecca. I is also a common practice for men to change thier last name to “father of ____” after their first son is born.

This is bogus. Zero people have my last name, and therefore my entire name.
Yet, I have a newspaper clipping from my Grandma when I was 12 where a guy with my name had his license revoked for reckless driving at the age of 17.

Maybe distantly related (my family is from the area), but no one on my dad’s side knew he was.
