L laughter_every_day Guest Jan 14, 2009 #2 2 craps. The general term for sh*t is merde. Cool. The old chevy Nova didn't sell very well in Spanish speaking countries as it translated essentially to "doesn't go."

N neil Guest Jan 14, 2009 #3 It doesn't literally mean sh*t, but it does sound very similar. The French pronunciation would be em-er-deux, which sounds like "merde". For this reason, the MR2 was always badged "MR" (without the "2") in France and Belgium.
