Original? Why original, it's not. Just a coincidence. It's very often for brand names to collide with slang or even obscene word in some of the world languages.

- coliveira 10y agoThis is a word with no meaning in English, and which not only has an Italian meaning but also clearly looks like an Italian word. So why do you have a problem in understanding that Italian is the original language from where this word was taken from? What do you think if somebody in Italy named an international piece of software as "MotherFk" and said: who cares what this means in English... I guess you would be appalled by the lack of cultural concern.
- avodonosov 10y agoOne of the first links in google: http://www.oddee.com/item_93544.aspx http://www.oddee.com/item_93544.aspx The word is not taken from Italian, it was invented first, and then somebody said it collides with an Italian word. If they changed the name to avoid Italian clash they could collide with Swahili or some other of hundreds of the worlds languages.
