The German translation gives "Buschmänner" -- natives of Southern Africa,
"(...) having some difficulties with the English tongue (...)" (187.2) and
doesn't the Bushman-language consist of click-sounds which are hard to
produce for the common European so I expect it will be the same vice-versa.

Or it's a pun on George Bush.
