Translations

 * Mr. Krabs is called "Kani-san" in the dub. "Kani" is Japanese for "crab," and "-san" is a suffix attached to the end of a person's name to refer to them formally in Japan.
 * Likewise, Ms. Puff's Japanese name, "Puff-sensei," has the suffix "-sensei," which is attached to the end of a teacher's name to refer to them formally in Japan.
 * Finally, Squidward's Japanese name, "Ikarudo", is a portmanteau of "ika" (the Japanese word for Squid) and "-rudo" (derived from the Japanese spelling of the name "Edward")
