They're the best. --- End quote --- "Fuchs" is a legitimate motor oil supplier, & the business in the pic seems to have stolen their logo complete, except for changing the spelling. Fuching scumbags! --- End quote --- Fuck and Fucks, which in the local pronunciation rhyme with book and books, is a surname in Brazil. In the local language, Portuguese, Fuck and Fucks mean nothing. So, several companies were established with that name. Like this car dealer, called Fuck Fiat. I think they were prophesying the coming of crypto, or something. But with the advent of the Internet, where information is globalized, we are seeing a tendency to change those names for something more palatable. Except for this guy, I guess. |
