Reminds me of the time when Disney allegedly* sent a memo to workers at Disney Land and Disney World telling them that, if they didn't stop complaining about the abysmal working conditions by calling both parks Mousewitz, they'd be fired.
Within the hour, workers started calling it Duchau in stead.
*read: probably
I get the Mousewitz part but what’s the reference to Dachau about? Duchau read like Duckau as in Donald Duck?
Remember how Americans would pronounce the ch. They already basically say Dackau, so Duckau isn't a far stretch.
It might be that there is pun at all about them calling it Dachau and that was the point. Oh we can’t use this cheeky nickname anymore? Fine, we’ll just refer to it as Dachau. Ban that.
Dachau was one if the first concentration camps in Germany.
I am very aware, I was asking about the pronunciation/reference.
Yes, it's as you stated, a reference to donald duck. A very loose reference.
Also, I've tried to find any reliable sources for this story at previous occasions, and it seems like it's fully made up. The working conditions have reportedly been abyssmal which is likely the origin of the story, but that specific story is not real.
