I googled unsuccessfully. Waka Waka has meanings in the context of
African pop music and Pac Man games, but nothing I could find on Java.

Perhaps you mean something like my suggested Bali syntactic sugar:

http://mindprod.com/jgloss/bali.html

BigDate d = new BigDate( 1997, 5 , 6 );

could be abbreviated:

BigDate (1997, 5, 6) d;

This does not require any new keyword.  Language designers have jumped
through hoops to avoid new keywords, e.g. in generics.
