Explanation of Bilingual Jokes in Cancioni-Inutilian City and Province Names

Rest assured that anything written by Tolkienfan that isn't in English contains some sort of bilingual bonus. For people with an enquiring sort of mind, Google Translate is your friend. Lobstardo-X has some... interesting ones as well. In fact, the community being what it is, anything that isn't written in a language most people know is going to be a joke of some sort.

Incidentally, I can't take all the credit. The contributions from the Inutilian state were made up by @Teppic and @Ptraci.

National Anthem
The Spanish name is Mira siempre el lado brillante de la vida. The Latin name is Clara ecce egrediebatur inde vitae. Both of these translate, roughly, to 'always look on the bright side of life'. Those old enough to be allowed to know about such things- say, ages 14/15 and up- may recognise this as the closing song of Monty Python's Life of Brian, which has got to be the ultimate display of gallows humour.

Motto
"Numquam te cedo, numquam te deseram, numquam te discurro ac deseram."

I'm sure at least some of you spotted this one. For the most accurate translation, click on the link.

State names
'Canciones Molestas', the full name for the State of Canciona, is Spanish for 'annoying music'.

'Inutilia' is Latin for 'useless'. Lampshaded by @Inigo_Montoya_472 when the original country joined CCRP I.

Province names
'Cantalopu con Azucar' and 'Etiqueta de Pan' are Spanish for, approximately, 'cantaloupe with sugar' and 'breadtag' respectively. Why I decided either of those would be amusing I cannot for the life of me recall. 'Nonostros Odiamos los Montanas' means 'we hate mountains', a particularly unfortunate trait for citizens in a province full of them. 'Isla de la Danza del Cangrejo' refers to dancing crabs, in another reference to the Crab Rave.

Non Plasset Essa Iuxta Mare, Inutilia's island province, is the only Inutilian name I came up with. It means 'we don't like to be beside the seaside'.

Cities and towns
Estoy Mas Arribe Que Nadie is the country's northernmost urban area. The name means 'We're at the top' or 'We're higher than anyone' depending on what Google Translate is in the mood for.

Esquina Estupida refers to a stupid corner. No prizes for guessing where on the map I put it.

Rana Crujiente originally meant 'crunchy frog', as a Monty Python reference. It now seems to mean 'cripsy frog', which is to my mind even better.

Plumero de Nudillos are knuckle dusters. No real reason, apart from my liking the name.

Puerto Langoster Estella refers to a giant star lobster with a port named after it.

Conejo Asesino is another Monty Python joke. Google 'killer rabbit holy grail'. PG-13 warning.

Minas Trone is, for once, a LOTR joke. The 'Minas' part refers to a tower, as in 'Minas Tirith', 'Minas Anor', 'Minas Ithil' and 'Minas Morgul'. The 'Trone' bit doesn't mean anything, apart from meaning that it's pronounced like a rather delicious type of Italian soup with beans and pasta in it (minestrone).

Cangrejo, Santa Langoster and Esparragos mean 'crab', 'Saint Lobster' and 'asparagus' respectively. Puerto Rinoceronte refers to rhinoceroses, at the request of my younger sibling.

'Campas de Fresca Por Siempre' means 'Strawberry Fields Forever', my favourite Beatles song after 'Day in the Life'.

Argenti, fairly obviously, means 'silver'. In this case referring to the coveted metal not found on its side of the border. I'm never giving up the Silver Wars.

'Congelatonis' means 'freezing'. It was more appropriate in Teppic's map, where the mountains were in a temporate zone where they could reasonably expect snow.

'Eto Vitulisque Marinis' means 'I am the walrus'.

'Sapidum Feles', for some reason, translates to 'tasty cats'.

'Limosus Palus' means 'muddy swamp'. It's built on a delta, so fair enough. Likewise with Salsuginis, which means 'salt flats'. 'Dimidium Apis' means 'half monkey'. Again, turn to Teppic and Ptraci for the explanation.

'Ergo sum ovum homme' means 'I am the egg man', presumably to go with Eto Vitulisque Marinis.

Political
The disputat are apparently very argumentative, although this combined with the Council of Disagreement isn't hard to spot. The automata inutilem are literally useless puppets.

...oh yes, and the Aburrido Rio Viejo is a very boring river.
