Bj's Brewhouse and Restaurant just opened a restaurant near me. They have rather tasty food, their own lines of beer and sodas, and great service. I guess they want everyone to look past the obvious connotations of their name. Like anyone ever does....
But I'm curious; is it only guys that automatically think of "that" meaning when they see the two letters 'B' and 'J' so juxtaposed?

No, girls do too.
I’ve been asked by many people, guys and girls alike, why I’d given them the e-mail address (myfirstname_b_j@etc) that I use for hookups, and have had to explain on numerous occasions that my last names are Bahs Jacquet.
And there’s the other classic, too:

The BJ's in the advert is a wholesale retail store.

I knew it wasn't the same people, I had meant to point out that there are a number of businesses that either capitalize on or try to ignore "that" meaning. Maybe this thread could include a "what other businesses use those initials, and what do they do?"

(In this case, though, I think they knew exactly what they were doing.)

According to Google Translate, they’re ‘electric back massage’ flavour. Erm. I wonder if that’s sweet or sour.
(I thought 復活 would be revival or resuscitation?!)

It’s Japanese. That always raises questions, and you very rarely really want to know the answers.

Well, if you find the answers feel free to post them, just make sure they're pixelated.
