Oswald Bates 

The character protrayed by Damon Wayans in the sketch comedy In Living Color who talks nonsense using a lot of big words and has no idea what he's talking.
He usually talks to himself with gestures and facial expressions as if he is arguing with someone else.
"First of all, we must internalize the 'flatulation' of the matter by transmitting the effervescence of the 'Indianisian' proximity in order to further segregate the crux of my venereal infection. Now, if I may retain my liquids here for one moment. I'd like to continue the 'redundance' of my quote, unquote 'intestinal tract', you see because to preclude on the issue of world domination would only circumvent - excuse me, circumcise the revelation that reflects the 'Afro-disiatic' symptoms which now perpetrates the Jheri Curis activation. Allow me to expose my colon once again. The ramification inflicted on the incision placed within the Fallopian cavities serves to be holistic taken from the Latin word 'jalapeno'."
-- Oswald Bates, In Living Color season 1 ep 3

Oswaldo by Young smg December 28, 2017
A spanish name. Commonly know as Oz. People who are named Oswaldo tend to be kind-hearted and very thoughtful. They are often lost in their own world, but that doesn't stop them from affecting everyone they meet and touching them in some unusual but magical way. Sometimes a little crazy, but in the best way. They are very honest, often considered brutally so but in the end they try to do what they can to make people happy, just not give them hopes for that which they can not promise. They are judged severely by themselves, and misunderstood, but their souls are beautiful and colored in the most beautiful color: white. For white is all colors.
Oswaldo: Don't have hope to be more, just smile. That's all that is needed.
