As a native spanish speaker: it reminds you much more of "adios" (goodbye). I didn't even think of "odioso", which isn't nearly so common.
I even thought that they possibly based the name on the Spanish word "adios" (you say "bye" when you leave, right?).
- rmATinnovafy 14y agoI'm also a native speaker. I do get the play on words with the word adios. But after saying it aloud my wife asked me if I was saying Odioso instead. I actually say bye rather than adios. :)
- jng 14y agoI was just sharing that it didn't remind me of "odioso" until you mentioned it. In any case, "adioso" still doesnt sound good to my spanish-speaking ears, but I understand that's not the target market.
