Touchy name for a Canadian car

Advertisements [?]

General Motors will rename its Buick LaCrosse in Canada because the name for the car is slang for masturbation in Quebec, embarrassed officials with the American car maker say.

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

or:

"(It) means a couple of things, either to masturbate or 'I just got screwed,' or 'I just got taken'" Low told the newspaper in Saturday's copyright editions. "People of our age wouldn't even think twice about (the word.)"
