One of the German instructors at my college was named Herr Hummel. By all accounts, the name fit him well: He was a round little man with lots of energy. It's a damn shame he passed away before I was able to take one of his classes.

Borinot is actually one insult I was taught by my Catalan teacher. But it's really a soft one...
