Communication breakdown

Below is conversation between Hubby and I this morning via email.

H:"Dung came back from his 10 days fishing trip in Cabo. I got some Mahi. It should be good for dinner tonight."
Me: "LOL. Don't call him dung. It's Doug. Make sure the fish is refrigerated."
H: "His name is Dung, He's Vietnamese. The fish is frozen. I'm thawing it for dinner."
Me: "I didn't know you have a coworking name Dung.. Sorry"
There's an incetive to have an American name if your given Vietnamese name is Dung.

Below is the dictionary definition for those who don't get the joke.

Definition of Dung:
1a. The excrement of animals.
1b. Manure.
2. Something foul or abhorrent.
