  • Doesn't it mean 'Japan'

    in Japanese, somehow it translates into a different word though. STill, it is an odd choice if if that's true. Like calling toilet duck 'Ethiopia'

      • "hide the fishfinger"?

        sounds like my sort of game

  • Because if they changed it now, it would be, “POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD.”

      That's an even less appropriate name for an ant killer.
