    lol … I’m Ojibway-Cree from northern Ontario in Canada … born and bred Indigenous and speak my own language

    My family friends and I had a hell of laugh a few years ago when Heinz announced it’s new mayonnaise sauce - Mayochup … some weird combination of mayonnaise and ketchup

    In English it sounds like nothing … but in Cree, Ojibway and Ojibway-Cree … it translates as ‘shit face’ …

    • May-yeh – translates as ‘shit’ or ‘feces’
    • the ending ‘chup’ … is a descriptive ending you tack onto the end of a word to denote that it refers to a individuals face

    Mayo-chup … literally means ‘shit face’ in my language

      That’s awesome. Also mayo + ketchup is called golf sauce, not sure why they would call it mayochup.
