    Mchepuko means “detour” in Swahili, but it’s also slang for a side chick

    Diversión means “fun” in Spanish.

      Yea, no idea why you chose these faces.

      The English one makes no sense - it clearly means detour, using a French form that we just don’t commonly use in English, not that diversion doesn’t make sense for a road sign.

      We divert rivers and streams, so diverting a travel path is an obvious alternate use, in a place where English clearly isn’t a primary language

      Basically, it’s not funny, it’s not even interesting.
