Etymology:
My cousin, Lolek Bongalonta.
I never knew my cousin's last name, just knew him as Lolek. I was interested in finding his last name one time, and searched on Facebook. I saw the name for a good half a second and went on with my life. For 2 whole years, I thought his name was Bongolata, until the truth destroyed me.
