Most don't remember Old Bong-Water Baggins, cousin of Bilbo and Frodo.

I used to know a few Chinese people who all thought the word "moon" was hilarious. "Mooooooon"

Is it even an English word? I knew a Chinese guy named Bong once.

"Bong" is an English word, but it has Thai origins. It's pretty common in other Asian languages like Mandarin, Filipino, Vietnamese. TBH I knew that but I wasn't sure about the actual meaning, so I looked it up...

and of course, it does refer to the kind of bong you smoke out of 🌿 lol

I'll always chuckle when I read "Bungo Baggins"
