Do you remember The Jetsons? Probably not so much if you speak some of the languages in green. In Spanish the surname is translated as "Los Supersonicos".

In Italian is a bit more complex: The Jetson was an Hanna-Barbera animated sitcom from the 60s but set in the future. It came after The Flintstones, one set on the Stone age. In Italy the Flintstones was named "Gli antenati" (the ancestors) so the Jetsons was named it "I pronipoti" (the descendants).

Long ago, a fragrant root from Southeast Asia journeyed to England via Eurasia: Known as "iñcivēr"(meaning “ginger + root”) in South India, it spread to the North as "siṃgivera" in Prakrit, and finally arrived to the West, ζιγγίβερῐς (zingíberis) in Greek & later in Latin gingiber.
It was such a long trip

The bumbag, waist bag, belt bag, or fanny pack (in North America), is the ultimate hands-free storage solution, allowing you to carry your essentials while keeping your hands free to scroll through your phone. It resembles a small fabric pouch or bag worn around the waist, akin to a kangaroo's pouch for humans. This has inspired the term "canguro" or "cangurera" in most of Central America and the northern regions of South America.
