The meaning of the word and the meaning of the name, however, are two seperate things.

Also consider that in English, two words that sound the same can have different meanings, or two words that are spelt the same can be pronounced differently.

The same thing goes with "cul", what it means in other languages means nothing because its fro the Japanese fandom, and its just shorthand for something else. At the end of the day, if you cannot accept that "cul" isn't meant to be anything but short for another word, then your ignorant for failing to acknowledge that.

I'm not aiming that at anyone in particularly, this is being put out generally to comments like this, because at this point its just boring.

Ford car manufactors put out a car whose car name was also the word in Essex slang for a woman's monthly tampon/pad... It wasn't intentional, but they were embarressed about it when they found out. Likewise, the Town of "Basildon" was going to rename itself back to its original name... Until a Dutchman politely told them what the old name for Basildon translated to in Dutch. note; Old english was deprived from old dutch and its possible to use old english even now to get a rough conversation with someone who speaks modern dutch. This is why this particular translation was able to be translated by a dutchman. Pity I can't remember what the translation was, but I admit, that was a arkward translation... :-/
