It gets worse:  If you speak French, you know that "laid" (pronounced kind of like "leh") means ugly.  I don't use hair products to get ugly hair.  I can have that by not using any hair product.  Reminds me of how the Chevy Nova was a no-go in Spanish-speaking countries because of what "No va" means.  Languages are fun!

I thought of "laid" in French, too, but the Chevy Nova thing is just an urban legend: http://www.snopes.com/business/misxlate/nova.asp Kind of made me think of that Tex-Mex brand Chi-Chi's, which translates to "boobs" in Spanish slang.
