I feel kinda sorry for their German sales/advertising team that has to deal with their own company name. "wix" sounds _very_ similar to "wichsen" which is a vulgar term for "to masturbate. I don't think their service will ever be popular over here because of that name.
When I saw the title "Wix code" my brain automatically translated it into something similar to "jerk off code".

- maxxxxx 9y agoAgreed. I don't think I could make myself ever use this word in public with Germans. reminds me of project we called "Wank" after a mountain. Didn't go well with the Apple people in Cupertino.
