Mo' money, mo' موزة...

In Arabic, pronunciation is essential. Even the slightest alteration of a word can mean something entirely different.

For example let's take the word موز. موز means "banana." It is pronounced mOz...kind of rhyming with way Snoop Dogg would say "hoes."

Coincidentally, if you add an "a" sound to the end of موز, making it موزة, instead of banana, you now have a "sexy lady."

Snoop would be proud.
