I'm indigenous Canadian ... Ojibway and I speak my language fluently, it's actually my first language.
A few years ago Hienz in Canada came up with a new condiment mixing ketchup and mayonnaise ... they called it MAYOCHUP
The best part was that in the Ojibway and Cree languages (our two languages are very closely related) ... mayochup, translates as 'Shit Face'
May is our word for feces, or shit .... tacking on the ending "chup" implies that the word is in reference to a person's face .... shit+face = shitface
I still see it on store shelves once in a while and I ask my non native friends if they want some Shitface.
Sounds tasty :D
In Germany all the "Vicks" go under the name "Wick" because "Vicks" phonetically sounds like "Ficks" or "Fick's" when read in German ("Ficks" = "fucks" / "Fick's" "fuck it") or if read in English like "Wichs" which basically means "Jerk off". Especially combined with Vaporub could cause some ... irritation
