QI said that "Kangeroo" meant "I don't know" in one language, and even named it.
They also said that in another australian language it meant "horse" - the reason being that they hadn't seen horses before, and nor had they encountered the word "kangeroo", so they assumed that that's what the europeans were talking about.

I'se so silly to be flowing but I no canna stay!

It's a quiz show in which moderately famous people are asked a series questions based on uncommon knowledge, and are awarded points based on how interesting their answer is. If you give an 'obvious' answer, large numbers of points are deducted.
Most winners only score about one or two points... the all time record losing score is -70 odd
