Beans on toast -> shit on a shingle

France -> Frenchland
Frankenreich
Voyager -> Wefwef

Cybertruck -> Swastidumpster
"Computer Science" is a terrible name for the field. I know it's called something like "Infomathics" in German and that's yards better.

In dutch physics used to be called "Nature Science" (natuurwetenschappen). I always preferred that over "physics" :)
