At random: Nautilus has long been a popular name for a submarine. Some of the more famous of these are Robert Fulton's NAUTILUS (1800), Jules Verne's fictional Nautilus, and the NAUTILUS of Sir Hubert Wilkins in which he attempted a voyage to the North Pole under the ice (1931). There have also been three U.S. submarines of that name, including the world's first nuclear powered submarine built by the Electric Boat Division.

Most of those words, I don't know but the first two probably come from people who can't spell entrepreneur and employer.

I can certainly recall "you buy me green drink" from Olongapo. In Hong Kong, the drinks were requested as 'normal' drinks that each of us would order.
