Hey, they couldn't sell the Chevy Nova in Spanish-speaking countries either.
My favorite counter to the myth about 'Nova' and 'no va' is that in english, you wouldn't refuse to by a dining room set called "Notable".
I never thought about that. Good point.
That’s apocryphal. Guess what the word for a stellar nova is in Spanish.
Well TIL. But then I'm guessing they won't have an issue with 'Mamala' in this context either, if they even learn about it.
I speak spanish "mamala" means "suck it" I guess some would understand some otgers would.laugh. I didn't make the conection until he mentioned really.
Yeah, for sure.
I thought it was the El Camino
