A politician's unfortunate name has suddenly left social media users reeling in hysterics.
Given its meaning in English, adopting the nickname Tiny when your surname is Kox, probably isn't the best thing to do when required to be taken seriously.
Going by the name Tiny Kox has certainly tickled a fair few Twitter users who have recently come across the EU's President of the Assembly.
One user took to the social media platform, recently renamed by Elon Musk as X, and said they had "learned the name" of the Dutch president, with some unfortunate and humorous results.

Linking a page which showed the political experience of Mr Kox, first name Tiny, hundreds flocked to the tweet and aired their hysterics when looking through his name.
An unfortunate name to begin with, Mr Kox, it seems, was given the nickname "Tiny" later in life, with his birth name listed on the website.
One "Martinus Josephus Maria (Tiny) Kox" has been a member of parliament for the Socialist Party in the Netherlands since 1975, and since then has been a firm face in politics.
He has since become a rather humorous Twitter gag, with the bloke leaving several users laughing and drawing references to the infamous "Biggus Dickus" Monty Python sketch.
A GIF of the memorable movie moment from Life of Brian was posted underneath the tweet, featuring Michael Palin utter the immortal line.

In a binary opposite to the large member mentioned in the cult film, Tiny Kox has taken Twitter by storm, as hundreds liked and shared the tweet to their timelines.
One user shedding light on the unfortunate name wrote: "lads, i've just learned the name of the president of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, and you'll want to do the same."
They did the same and found, in turn, a particularly funny name, which has since been quoted and reposted.
Another user, upon reading the results of the find, added: "Laughed for a solid 15 seconds."
