We will play this one with the most liberal interpretations, Euro-Bens, Bens with implosive fricatives, and Vens and Pens accepted (as there is no or little difference between B/P/V in many languages): World Bens.
Also penne, cos I like pasta.
I'll start with Ben Johnson, Benny Hill, and penne all'arrabbiata.

"When the British soldiers arrived to liberate the (Falkland) islands, they nicknamed the islanders 'Bennies' after Benny, the simple soul in Crossroads. But this caused so much upset that the soldiers were banned from using the term, and instead nicknamed them 'Still' - as in 'Still a Benny'." |
They now quite happily use 'Bennies' or 'Bens' it to describe themselves. A Facebook page that covers Falklands sport overseas was until recently called 'Bennies on Tour', but is now FalkSport. |  | | |
