name fails...^^

Post by bad_brain »

if you have a funny name fail post it here.....

what I mean with "name fail" is: for example a product name from another country which has a funny or inappropriate meaning in your language.

I start with the big "free website builder" site wix.com....in my language "wix" means "wank". so yeah, maybe better don't get a site there when you plan to go to the german-language market with it... :lol:
