Fun fact: "ups" is Danish for "oops".
Which is probably part of the reason why the parcel service only started operating here a few years ago..
you can add this fun fact to your local giggles for UPS
The company UPS started in Seattle during the Alaskan gold rush days to distribute opium.

Reminds me of how the Chevy Nova failed miserably in Mexico because it sounds like “no vas” which means “doesn’t move.”
See also the Hyundai Cunt, the Ford Tiny Penis, the Lamborghini Flat Tire, and others 😆
Same in Slovenian
