Please do not Lacrosse in your Buick Lacrosse...
Just as a matter of interest, General Motors has been test marketing a new vehicle called the "Buick Lacrosse". Customer reaction has been good except in the Canadian province of Quebec where focus groups had some trouble with the name. "Lacrosse" is francophone slang for "masturbation".Similar to the situation a few years ago when it was learned that "Nova" was a Spanish term meaning "no go". Before learning the meaning , Buick thought it was a safe name because aside from Ice hockey,Lacrosse is Canada's second national sport.I do not want to turn this into a political thread, but as a Canadian who values the friendship and support of our American neighbors I wouldn't be surprised if you all thought we spent a little too much time up here playing "Lacrosse".
