Besides the fact that "LaCrosse" is a really stupid name for a car...
Red-faced officials at General Motors in Canada have been forced to think of a new name for their latest model after discovering it was a slang word for masturbation.

GM officials said they had been unaware that "LaCrosse" was a term for self-gratification among teenagers in French-speaking Quebec.

They are now working on a new name for the LaCrosse in Canada. The car will go on sale next year to replace the Buick Regal.

Can any of our younger Canadian members (pun intended) confirm this?

For those of you who have seen the TV commercials, this is the one where they play "Dream On" as the music.

this was reported about a year ago, with some comments from me about the verb "se crosser", or something like that...

Oh sure! Next thing you'll tell me is something ridiculous, like Ricky Williams retired to go on a world-wide ganja tour, or the Red Sox won the World Series. I'm not THAT gullible.

Carefully, I think in Quebec "sarcasm" is a slang for anal.
