I used to take Spanish Courses and recall being equally amused. I remember other Arab students excited in class and nodding their heads fast saying “ah ah like araby its same same.” and then repeating the word to the person next to them to make sure they also got it, then someone who hasn’t paid attention start getting curious as to what he had miss out on and asks what the fuss is about, once he finnd out he would say it out loud and it would be one too many times.

I learned from a Brazilian friend that they call rice “arroz” and olives “azzitona”, which are probably coined by early Arab merchants.
