This reminds me of the Indian clothing store called Hitler, which I heard about on Tell 'em Steve Dave.
When asked about re-naming the store:

My mind is conflicted.
The swastika would not be an issue given the location. However, given the name, the swastika, and the store owner's poor excuse, I am inclined to believe he had a cursory knowledge of Hitler, perhaps not a full one.

OK this got me.
My Vietnamese friends pronounce it "fuh".
I used to pronounce it "foe" and was corrected several times.

Ha! I drive past that place pretty often, it's near the University of Houston campus in the middle of a little Korea in Midtown. I get my hair cut nearby so I always grab a bowl of pho afterwards feeling so fresh and clean lol.
Shame it closed down years ago. Replaced with another pho place with a less offensive name.

Yes, that's how it's pronounced.
Hell yeah, best theater in the area. I still need to visit the new one at the old Baywalk, Sundial iirrc.Do you go to parkside theaters? If so thats pretty cool cus I go there toodidnt know there was a gaffer that was around the pinellas park area!
I recently moved to an apartment on the cusp of P Park in Largo and I can't agree more.
, Seminole was so much nicer. Glad I still work over there.

There's a "Phucket Thai" in my city and it still gets the occasional chuckle.Me and my friend used to laugh every time we saw...
We of course pronounced it Fuck it, Thai. Like, "what do you want to eat?"
" fuck it, Thai."
Felt bad when the 04 Tsunami devastated the place though, so not as funny anymore.
It's Vietnamese.
The first word is pronounced "bit", but with a rising tone. As for the second word, the "ng" is pronounced EXACTLY the same as it is in English (song, angry, going, etc.), and the "a" very similar to the "a" in the English word "man".
As for the meaning, I forgot, which is kinda embarrassing as it is my mom's name!
If I recall correctly, "bich" means pearl or something.
Google it.

It's a relatively common Vietnamese name for females.

I laughed way waaay to hard at this.
Whatever the language particulars, that steaming turd logo Is universal.

Yup. You got the pronunciation of both words wrong.

LOL. You were close as it does sound close to "naah." I have no idea how to sound out the pronunciation in english since it's like... phonetically impossible. That particular sound just doesn't exist in the english language I don't think, since the n is almost silent, but not totally

Theres one of these around the corner from me. Didn't realize they are franchises. They know what they are doing with that name though.
Walked past this pub the other day, just outside Highbury & Islington station.
That sound DOES exist in English. The "ng" in Vietnamese makes THE EXACT SAME SOUND as the "ng" in English!

You Anglophones get all tripped up when you see it because you are not used to seeing it at the beginning of a word.
There are more English words that contain the "ng" sound that there are Vietnamese words that start with "ng"

Actually it's more like "fuh?" for the pronunciation but most people unfortunately seem to call it "foe" through no real fault of their own if nobody ever said it to them the correct way.
