Ben-ben. Originated in Scotland, but came to Ancient Egypt (are you kidding? It's Egyptian, what else would it be?). The Egyptian word ben-ben, or benben means "the male phallic." It was also an Ancient Egyptian term for obelisk. Now, if that isn't funny, what is? You've got to admit, there has to be something said for a pharoah with a 100 foot benben standing out in the desert heat for everybody to see. Many songs have been sung about this word. One of the more famous ones was sung by Rameses II as he conquered the Levant in his war chariot and armies slaughtering the local villagers: "I love my ben-ben, Oh yes I do...
You would love my ben-ben, if you had it too.
Oh, ben-ben, I love youuuuuuu..." Nobody knows the rest because he was interrupted by a cough from the dry heat, but it looked like it was going somewhere good with that. Alas, we will never know more what the sacred song would have been.
