Some idiot: Mandalorian culture obviously isn’t based on Polynesian culture. You’re just reaching.
Me: Oh you mean this Mandalorian culture?

“One of the principal characteristics of traditional Polynesian cultures is an effective adaptation to and mastery of the ocean environment……Kin groups were also the basis for Polynesian social hierarchies.” -Brittanica
OH you mean this Mandalorian Culture! With this word?
Aruetyc = foreign, or even traitorous, but generally "not Mandalorian"
Wait but that sounds like,
Pākehā and Haole = foreigner, not Māori or not Hawaiian (can be used derogatory)
Well maybe you mean this Mandalorian culture?
With the Keldabe kiss, a gentle headbutt consisting of a tapping of helmets together at the forehead-

No then you must mean this Mandalorian Culture,,,
Gai bal manda, the traditional adoption ritual in Mandalorian culture meaning “name and soul” followed by the saying "I know your name as my child"

No, you have to mean THIS Mandalorian culture!
