   Why didn't I think of this before?  Remember how around the turn of the   
   century I started grunting when I was too excited to form words?  I just put   
   some of them into Google Translate.  It detected a few languages.   
      
   Footsiga came out as Uzbek for "to the footy".   
   Yavootz it couldn't translate.   
   Radabadoomha is Somali for "radar".   
   Doofiq was Bulgarian for "Doofia" -- whatever that is.   
   Chinga was Romanian for "strap".   
   Grink it couldn't translate.   
   Geen is Dutch for "no".   
      
   However, when I put a few of them together it detected other languages and   
   other translations.
