I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

 Fatuous and indolence are two I was reminded of recently. Describe a goon's life quite well, I imagine.

The little plastic thing on the end of a shoelace is called an aglet.

Whores - Prostitutes.

It's mostly because of the pronunciation.

I read the novelization of Robocop 2 as a kid and the writer had apparently only ever heard the word spoken. Or he was Danish. I was very confused about all the "hores" running around Detroit.
