Comment: There is a rumor that when "Got Milk? was translated into
Spanish, it meant "Are you lactating?". This seems comparable enough to the Chevy Nova case to warrant verification. |

I'm always skeptical, though, when a source asserts an embarrassing translation blunder took place but doesn't offer the specific wording (or other evidence) of the mistranslated version. |

"Tienes leche?" means "do you have milk" which in Mexico is a double entendre. And it's the same double entendre in the US. See http://static.desktopnexus.com/wallp...gthumbnail.jpg
