    One of the asian car-manufacturers announced a new model, named "Fetta".

    (Un)fortunately, someone tipped them that that word means "pu*sy" in the Scandinavian languanges.

    Was it Toyota ? At least, I'm pretty sure that this car ended up being named "Jazz".

    Yes as it means No Go.


    Ford could not release their Pinto in Europe because in Portugal it is slang for small dick.

    Didn't Citroen have the VD? And Apricot computers had a range of computers (I can't remember the name of them) which translated to 'slow' in one Scandanavian language?

    I always thaught Skoda's Felicia was a bit close to the bone as far as names go.

    What next the Skoda Cunilingus.

    A car with a name like this would lick the competition clean.

    Just steer clear of its tail pipe and back box and you'll be doing ok.

    I bet it would be a real c*nt to drive though. :D

    With a big pair of mud flaps fitted as standrd.

    Maybe he only called himself that to avoid the indignity of revealing that his surname was actually Head. :D

    Actually, there was a guy at a company I used to work for called Richard Head!

    I kid you not....! :D
