Mine's: Elhalasz Tyúk
in english: WeCanc Chicken
Why it's funy:
Elhalasz Tyúk is pronounced as the same as Elhalasztjuk
Elhalasztjuk means: We cancell it
Elhalasz is didn't mean anything but Tyúk means hen
It's got a motto: Got kot? ( "kot" means "bawk")
It's funny in my language. Try it!
How can do the twistiest description?

I'm sorry, I don't really understand it.
Can you please set another example so that I can get a better understanding?
(Does it have to involve another language?)

Well, let me try one anyway: (don't get mad if I do it wrong.) In my language(Japanese) Chichi could mean either Father or Breast, depending on what pronoun is used. (Not too good, but I don't know that many words in Japanese.  |

Good starting.
Here's another ( it was my friends idea):
Name: Érfal
English name: vein wall/ vein eats-fast
Why it's funny:
Ér means vein.
Fal means : wall, or he-eats-very-fast

I'm not entirely sure how this game works  , but I'll try one anyway (this is a true story): Coca Cola (the soft drink, a.k.a. Coke) had just started being sold in China, but for some reason it wasn't selling very well. They later discovered that Coca Cola was Chinese for "bite the wax tadpole". For some reason, the customers thought this was a strange name for a soft drink. |

Haha! ( multipled by 100)
I've got another.
There was a car type called Nova. Peopla didn't buy it in spanish countries cause Nova means there: " don't go"
And in my country XAR computers didn't selled very well, because theres a very rude word in my language that is pronounced the same.
