I had a friend in high school whose mother came from Japan. I remember she told us that her mother laughed whenever anyone mentioned the OSU team, Ohio Buckeyes. I remember Ohio sounds like the word for Good morning, but I can't remember what "Buckeye" sounds like. Can anyone help?

In an American accent, I guess it may quite likely have been
Ohio Buckeye ≓ おはようバカ = good morning idiot(s)

This reminded me also of the word in Filipino for cow/beef which is "baka" (similar to Spanish "vaca") and the Japanese would always have a good laugh.– rebuuiltJul 4, 2020 at 10:04
