What's In a Name? GM Embarrassed over LaCrosse

Even worse than Mercedes-Benz naming their new crossover concept the GST (Grand Sport Tourer), not a particularly positive association with the much hated Goods & Services Tax (GST) in our country, General Motors has named a car the 'masturbation'. Its Buick LaCrosse concept that has just been announced for production, lacrosse a name most Canadians know as an indigenous peoples' sport, is slang for masturbation in Quebec.
