Sheila and I are getting Sasha her first bike for Easter. It is a beauty: pink, lavender and white with streamers on the handlebars and plenty of little girl swankiness. There is however one oddity...the name. You read it right, Enchantment Piranha. Take a look at this picture, does this bike say Enchantment Piranha to you?
Chalk the name up to cultural translation ignorance. When you translate phrases and names from one languages or culture to another, you often end up with unintended consequences. For example, Randy (a relatively common American name) is a slang term that means "horny" in British English.
