Moliere did better in his time:
"CLEONTE.- Bel-men.
COVIELLE.- Il dit que vous alliez vite avec lui vous
préparer pour la cérémonie, afin de voir ensuite votre
fille, et de conclure le mariage.
MONSIEUR JOURDAIN.- Tant de choses en deux mots?
COVIELLE.- Oui, la langue turque est comme cela, elle
dit beaucoup en peu de paroles. "
(Moliere, Le Bourgeois Gentihomme)
(No need to say that "Bel-men" is no more Turkish than
I am Aleutian).
