Looks like the Chinese aren't as milky as us westerners

Well, that led me to an interesting hole

in Arabic, for example, the most common one is “The Straw Way” (درب التبانة—Darb al-Tabānah), after the sheafs of straw dropped by farmers on their way back from the fields. In India, the Milky Way is known as the “Heavenly Ganges” (आकाशगंगा—ākāśagaṅgā) and stretches across the belly of a cosmic dolphin.

There are plenty of other names in the link, definitely worth a read

When we form a global government, first order of business is to pick the least embarrassing language for our interstellar civilization.
