Ive actually got a packet of that at home.

Apparently the Mitsubishi Starion was so called because of a mispronunciation of the name for a male horse.

The Russian words for "self-gratification artist" and "pineapple" are very similar. My wife says she caused some consternation on a flight from Moscow when she asked for a self-gratification artist juice.

I had a colleague who was vietnamese. Vietnamese is a tonal language. His name was "Henry", but it wasn't the name his family used. I asked for his Vietnamese name, as I seen subtle racism in people being given English names. He explained to me that is name was "Huong"** but if you pronounced it "Huong" (ie it sounded exactly the same to me) it meant tampon. I decided I would continue to call him "Henry".

It still worried me that his parents gave him a name that differed only in pitch from tampon. It would be like an English speaking couple naming their son "Timpon".

**I can't remember what his Vietnamese name actually was.

Cars are infamous
One company designed a car for women called La Puta

Literally "The wife" but also translated as " The Whore" in some countries

Equally the Honda Jazz walls the "Fita" which in some countries is the " C word"

Crapper - plain speaking. When I announce that I'm off to The Crapper for a Forest there's no doubt what I'm saying.

Sense of humour on this site gets me into trouble on a regular basis

The most recent episode was on a thread about preparing for rides

Someone use the term "dropping the kids off" for emoting one's bowels pre ride

(Edited ... I meant emptying but the auto complete's emoting is funny)


Unfortunately my nine-year-old nephew and sister love this term and have not only introduced it to their parents, but it is also apparently spreading round thecScoolnlike wildfire!

Car manufacturers spend millions on this but still make cock ups with the Mitsubishi Masturbator, the Toyota S**t, the Opel Won't Start and VW Essex Girl.

I'm told that GM had t rename the Nova in some markets because in Latin-based languages it means 'does not go'

**I can't remember what his Vietnamese name actually was.
