Funnily enough, PHP actually taught me the Hebrew expression for "double colon", thanks to the infamous T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM.

Well that is certainly unexpected, is there a story behind why a Hebrew term was chosen for this character?

Much of the PHP internals (the Zend Engine) was created by Israeli developers. I'm not sure why they didn't use English, but clearly they just used their native tongue in this case.
