Origin of name[edit]

Where did it get its name "Big Nambas". Sounds like "Big Numbers". --24.31.187.238 21:37, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A namba is a Vanuatuan penis sheath. So it's named after the group that typically speaks it, which is named for the size of their penis sheaths. Auvon (talk) 01:43, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
