To me, Afghans have always been cocoa-flavoured biscuits/cookies with chocolate icing with a piece of walnut on top. Heaven alone knows where they got that name from, but it's common usage in Zild. So the denizens/survivors of/in Afghanistan must be Afghanis.

I once lived in an apartment with a bunch of other people, one of whom had an Afghan hound called "Dumbo". The name came from her long, floppy ears, but, boy was she stupid. When she wanted to sleep on the lawn, sleep on the lawn she would, even when it poured down and it was only a few steps to the shelter of the verandah. That's dumb!

But not as dumb as another friend's Irish setter, which loved lying in the middle of a busy road on the warm asphalt. She got run over one day, surprise, surprise, and had both her front legs fractured. She was taken to the vet and splinted up. The next day, guess where she hobbled to have her morning kip? Yup, you guessed it.
