"Tonight do not miss Space 1999 with Martin Baby Stroller, Barbara Bath, and Barry Walrus."

I jest but French is my mother tongue, and my English when Space: 1999 was first broadcast was very iffy.

So Landau registered as the French word landau, which means baby stroller. Bain registered as the French word bain, which means bath. Morse registered as the French word morse, which means walrus.

All of us who speak colloquial English have totally missed our chance to make "bear my beer" a thing.

I mean, if you wanted the holder of your beer to provide entertainment as well, you could even say, "Bear bare my beer."

And if said beerholder is of the ursine variety, you'd be blessed by the language deities to be able to command: "Bare bear, bear my beer!"

We could all stand to be a bit more creative with our words.
