Some more random trivia: In Brazil it is known as "Quarteirão" which I find an ingenious translation. The word actually means "city block", but it is quite close to the original name, and being an augmentative ("-ão" suffix means big/large) it passes the intended message of a big burger. Extra random trivia: in the south of Brazil, burgers are traditionally very large, so McDonald's Quarteirão (Quarter Pounder) is actually considered a small burger.
