From the Department of Things You Never Asked For: The Munga.
This DKW/Auto Union quasi-Jeep built from 1955 through 1968 packed a stonkin' 40-plus horsepower three-cylinder and, well, not much else. Auto Union, predecessor to Audi, won a contract from the Federal German Army to built this thing, beating out Porsche (which would later unveil something called a "Cayenne").
"But Straightline," you ask, "I get that Auto Union built a Jeep rip-off after the war but why is it called "Munga," and not something more attractive-sounding like "Flump" or "Phhhht?" Well, kind reader, we're glad you asked. Munga is a sort-of acronym taken from the German Mehrzweck Universal Gelandewagen mit Allradantrieb. Duh.
Anyway, the Munga is great for watering flowers and, apparently, dancing ladies totally dig it.

Is it just me or this really looks like a NAZI propaganda?

Alternate uses for Munga:
1) “Doood. You totally just stepped in Munga.”
2) “I don’t know how many he took. All he does is sit there in the corner mumbling ‘Munga, munga.’”
3) “Munga? I barely knewah.”

In the Indian language of Kannada, Munga means Monkey.
No joke.
