Yes,... about the automobile. Some years ago Mitsubishi marketed a funcar in Europe as Mitshibishi "Pajero"... problem in Espanol pajero stands for something like "coward".

The Pajero. And it's still sold here in Italy under that name.

And in Italy many years ago there was actually a brand of toilet paper called "Soft Ass".

Off topic. I have a better one. The gerber company, that makes Gerber Baby food...with the cute little gerber baby on the label... Well they started marketing in Africa, and guess what, no one would buy. Do you know why? In africa, since many can not read, they put pictures of the food product on the label so people know what is in the Jar. Guess they didn't want to eat babies. True Story. I wouldn't make it up... Or may I impale myself on a chair....... Again.
