Sir Goat
I recently had a call for a job interview in Japan with a man named Yagi, which also means 'goat' in Japanese. Most people just think of the sound when calling someone's name. In Japanese you put an O before a noun to make it polite. Being a bit nervous on the phone, I not only did that but called him 'O-Yagi-sama', Sir goat, instead of 'Yagi-san', Mr Yagi. I've been here four years and ironically had just started studying seriously when this happened.
