Meh-teh translates as "man-bear"
Dzu-teh - 'dzu' translates as "cattle" and the full meaning translates as "cattle bear" and is the Himalayan Red Bear
Migoi or Mi-go (Tibetan: མི་རྒོད་; Wylie: mi rgod) (pronounced mey-goo) translates as "Wild Man"
Mirka - another name for "wild-man", however as local legend has it "anyone who sees one dies or is killed". The latter is taken from a written statement by Frank Smythe's sherpas in 1937
Kang Admi - "Snow Man"
Jo-bran - "Man-beast"
All of the above was copy and pasted from wikipedia.org. Trust it if you want.

In Spanish, fire ants are known as hormiga colorada (red ant) or hormiga brava (surly ant). In Portuguese, they are called formiga de fogo (fire ant) and formiga lava-pé (wash foot ant).
Also wikipedia. Read it, recite it. Just don't trust it.
I was in the jungle. I stepped on a wash foot ant. The wash foot ant bit me. I yelled. The cattle bear came out of the woods. He had an axe and a machete in one hand. In the other hand was a bee hive and the head of a yeti.
If only I hadn't stepped on the wash foot ant.
I had an idea. Then I had another idea. Then another. But I had to wait for my cue. "Action" shouted the director. I ran at the cattle bear with a log that was lying near the wash foot anthill. I ran up to the cattle bear and smacked the yeti head out of his hands, picked it up, and punted it like a football.
"CUUUUUUUTTTTTT, what was that?"
I didn't know what to say. That's when Holly Gunter from Jackson chimed in. "Setting a date on troop withdrawl is not only a poor decision but may even further endanger our troops".
George W. Bush had plenty to add: "A year ago my approval rating was in the 30s, my nominee for the Supreme Court had just withdrawn, and my vice-president had shot someone.
"Ah, those were the good ol' days,"
The director just shook his head. No, no no no no. This will not will not work. We can't have this scene being made into a mockery.
Diego Maradona's physician agreed, saying Maradona's "ill health was brought on by excessive smoking, drinking and eating."
Zenaib Abubakar, a Mogadishu resident added, "This is the worst fighting Mogadishu has seen since the Islamists were ousted"
The director wrapped up the shoot. "We'll try again tomorrow."
I looked at the wash foot ants and gave them a wave. "It was nice working with you" they sang.
It was nice working with them. It was very nice indeed.
I went back to my hotel room, ordered a cheeseburger from room service, put on the telly, and switched between Stewart and O'Reilly. Fed up, I grabbed a razor and shaved myself a mohawk. It doesn't really matter.
