"Puno ng palos ang aking hoberkrap"

Mentioning that you have a hovercraft, whether or not full of eels, in Manila would probably win you a few fiends as having one would make it easy to get around the many islands of the Phiiippines.

"Huufarkarafkayga waxaa ka buuxa eels"
When storlling through the streets of down town Mogadishu you might mention to a local that your hovercraft is full of eels to which the response is likely to be the Somali equivalent of "Full of what?" given that there is no word in Somali for eel.

"Mit luftpudefartøj er fyldt med ål"

If told that your hovercraft was full of eels what might a Viking say or do?  In all probability he would ask you for some eels for his smokehouse smoked eel being a Danish delicacy and traditional Christmas fare.

"Mon aéroglisseur est plein d'anguilles"

If you should tell a Frenchman that your hovercraft is in fact full of eels he may well ask you where it is parked and invite you round for supper on the proviso that you bring some of the eels with you so that he can introduce you to the culinary classic Matelote d'Anguille or in English - Eel stew.
