Dabu: new name for Survivor merged tribe?

Question

So, dude lied and said "Dabu" meant "'good' in Micronesian." None of the remaining 10 survivors bothered to do the pre-game research and find out Micronesia has 8 native languages??? (Aside from the national language -- English.) And not one of those languages is called "Micronesian."

Answer 1

It would've been more funny if he picked something that meant something to him (like a family name or something) & so it would be like everyone was rooting for him each time they were rooting for their team.

Answer 2

I don't think any of them bothered to research anything about Micronesia, but Erik just wanted to name the tribe something funny. I thought it was hilarious.

Answer 3

They don't know where they are going untill a few days before they leave.

Answer 4

"Dabu" is a slang term for a "short brown Indian female" according to an online urban dictionary!

Answer 5

Yes, it means nothing - i looked it up

Answer 6

It is better than Baloo

Answer 7

Although the survivor said he made it up, he may have a secondary joke here.  Did you notice that "Dabu" backwards is "U BAD"?

Answer 8

The official language in micronesia is English. So Dabu means nothing

Answer 9

Dabu County (Chinese: 大埔县; Pinyin: Dàbù Xiàn) is a district of Meizhou, Guangdong of China.
