There is a very subtle and very funny result in confusing a terrorist with a theorist, and calling a guy Wanger is actually very funny--it sounds a little like a British slang word...I have no idea how this could translate...I learned last week that a certain Japanese 4x4, I think it is the Pajero, had to have the name changed for export to Argentina, because in Argentine slang, a "pajero" is the same as a masturbator.

So any of you thinking of exporting a Pajero to Argentina, be prepared at customs.
mitsubishi pajero = mitsubishi montero (for the philippines and some other asian countries, I don't know if that term applies to all.

Hahaha, great insight on the argentine slang. I'll keep that in mind.
