In Persian ‘sh*t’ is ‘go’ and gas or fart is ‘goes’. Hard to teach beginning English without a lot of giggling. On the other hand their word for snow is ‘barf’.
I owned an Audi several years ago, it was a really crappy car. I sold it at a big loss but was thrilled to be rid of it.
From the four Audis I and family owned over the years, that is a fitting name for them.
General Patton got a good laugh during WW2 when he visited a town in France that he had been stationed in during WW1.
The towns mayor showed him the memorial the town had built to an American officer buried there during WW1. The townspeople had been scandalized when the American army moved on and left the grave without a headstone, just a wooden sign at the foot of the grave.
Determined to show respect the town put a garden around the grave and placed a grand headstone that was the envy of the town.
After viewing the memorial and thanking the mayor the general got in his jeep and headed out of town.
Seeing the general shaking with tears running down his face the driver stopped, worried that the generals health was bad.
At his drivers concern the general burst out laughing uncontrollably.
Between laughs he explained that no American officer was buried in that village. “It was the g@ddamned officers LATRINE. We filled the hole, mounded it as per regulations and put up a flocking sign “ofc latrine”.
To this day there is a village in France maintaining a monument to American officers turds.
I LOL so hard I almost knocked my McDonald’s Mcrap, I mean McWrap off the table.
I wonder how many women ran out and bought a Ford Probe?
There used to be a small local Mexican food chain called Chi-Chi’s. Slang for tits.
Asian brands have had a lot of weird English names over the years. Daihautsu Naked and Daihatsu Scat are some of my faves.
“Meh. Toyota did it first over 20 years ago with the TRD designation. How else are you gonna read that?”
Guy in my office had one, we teased him mercilessly about it.
Chi-Chi’s was in several states. It went out of business following a food poisoning incident, but the company still sells products at the supermarket.
I sold my house to a lady named Latrina.
