Hey, they couldn't sell the Chevy Nova in Spanish-speaking countries either.
I thought it was the El Camino
My favorite counter to the myth about 'Nova' and 'no va' is that in english, you wouldn't refuse to by a dining room set called "Notable".
I never thought about that. Good point.
That’s apocryphal. Guess what the word for a stellar nova is in Spanish.
Well TIL. But then I'm guessing they won't have an issue with 'Mamala' in this context either, if they even learn about it.
Yeah, for sure.
I speak spanish "mamala" means "suck it" I guess some would understand some otgers would.laugh. I didn't make the conection until he mentioned really.
