Unfortunate name? Or genious marketing strategy?

Unfortunate name? Or genious marketing strategy?

H&M named their new cityslickers sleek mens jeans a name that described the product - perhaps all too well.
While "Fit sliq" sounds like perfectly a harmless description of tight jeans to anglo ears - it's quite raunchy when read out loud in Swedish. It means cunnilingus. Pineapple lick. Sesame seed lick. I'm out of euphemisms, fit is a lot more than that in Swedish, it's the c-word. So the city slicker is now a [blank] licker. Okaaaay..... I'm sure H&M are laughing all the way to the bank as Swedish men and the occasional lesbian raid the stores for a pair of these naughty naughty jeans.
