Unfortunate name, "cu" it's the most well known slang for "anus" in Brazil (population: 200+ million). "Libcu++" is sure to cause snickering.

This only affects developers. Limited scope. Wasn't there something related about Microsoft Lumia phones?

cf. the Vauxhall Nova car

"No va" means "doesn't go" in Spanish.

In all honesty, out of the combinations for two and three letter acronyms there’s bound to be a language out the there where the meaning is crude. I recall on here recently, something being rude in Finnish or Swedish. We’re professionals, it’s just a name, who cares.

Unix users have "cu". Do "man cu", if you are curious. I haven't played with "cu" since the UUCP email era. Good times.

It’s penis in Vietnamese (pop. 80M), I guess people don’t really care since tech language is usually English
