I had a colleague who used to work for a small German company. He was one of their developers and actually he did take English as a foreign language. Conner’s English was really good which is why he felt it was important to speak with his manager about the new project name.
His manager’s language skills were very rudimentary and so he did not immediately recognize that project wanker1 might not be the best name. Not quite sure how to break the news to his boss he had an idea. The manager actually was also taking English lessons and Conner suggested that this is a bad name and that he should speak with his teacher about this project name.
The very next day, it was announced that there would be a different name for the new project.
1Wanker is British English slang for masturbation.
