Yeah? Well Zune you, buddy!

It's not like Zune was a really cool name in the first place, but this is too good. Looks like 'zune' means something ... um ... special, in Hebrew. From ISerializable:

"I'm not sure how much the marketing people at Microsoft are aware of this, but "Zune" - their new portable player, has a very "naughty" meaning in Hebrew. How Naughty?

Let's just say that if I were to use it in a sentence it could look like this:

"Would you like to get "Z-une"d and have a cigarette afterwards?"

In fact, it's enough to utter the header on the ZuneScene page to crack up a little smile if you know a little Hebrew :"Dude, You're getting a Zune!"

Could be worse, they could have called it the Phantom.
