Wait, being 11 would give me an excuse.

The term comes from a bastardized Italian translation of the name al-Khowarizmi, who was an Uzbek mathematician who, with the book Kitab al-Jabr wa al-Muqaabalah , created the processes we now know as algebra.

Depending on when al-Khowarizmi lived (which I have a rough idea on, but am too lazy to look up right now), he could have been an Uzbek living in land controlled by the Persian empire. During numerous times throughout the last 3000 years, the Persians controlled much of what is now termed Central Asia, immediately east and north east of Iran's eastern border.
Many people who are considered Tajik, for instance, speak a Persian dialect, and are descended from Persian stock.
(I hate using the word Persian, as it is itself a Greek word and a bastardization of the Iranian region and dialect Parsi/Farsi.)

Not here exactly, but where you are trying to bullshit, and then you end up looking really stupid.
I'm pretty sure we've all been here.
