Quoting AlphaF

The country JAPAN is called YABAN in Arabic. A person from Japan is a YABANI.

Yabani is also used in Turkish, to mean a jelly fish eater...Alcoholics

 

 Really?  I always thought it meant ´bruta/savage´ or ´wild´ as in ´wild plants´ (or weeds).  Can´t believe there is a specific word for ´jelly-fish eater´ - not exactly a popular dish in Turkey is it? Unsure´
