Ever hear the name Manjula as "mint julep"? Is she from southern India? BTW, I hate Apu, because he misrepresents Indians. Real Indians are meanies!

Is this a joke? Homer himself referred to her as "Mint Julep" so one can't really know if the viewers heard it that way, or if their use of it derives from Homer's useage.
