Ha, reminds me of a juice booth/startup the other day at the tech fair named "Suja," which means dirty or obscene in Portuguese!

My favorite example is a popular German light bulb brand, Osram, which is also known in Poland. In Polish it means roughly "I'll put my excrement [on it]" :P

"The curve" - "Kurve" in German was my favorite learning German. Osram was close though :D
