So a girl I know wants to open up a quick service taco restaurant
and she wants to call it Tara's Tasty Taco. :evilgrin: :bounce:

What can I tell her is wrong with this without explaining it in obvious terms?

3. I think she'll make a fortune.
I personally will never forget the name of her restaurant and I don't even know her. She won't even have to pay for advertising. It's a win/win situation.

5. Why wouldn't she call it
Tara's Tasty TacoS? But then it would lose its appeal to matcom...

7. Sure hope she expands her menu to include...
The Dig Deep Taco Bowl

and

Tara's Favorite Fat Burrito

:rofl:

With a restaurant name like hers, she has a lot of menu item naming options! :evilgrin:

33. Double Entendres (two meanings referencing the same thing)
Mae West was the Queen of Double Entendre.
Is that a pistol in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?

Double standards occur when a standard is applied more leniently to one group than another.
Her father allowed her brothers to drive at age sixteen, but not her because he believed girls her age needed to stay at home.

...just sayin'... :hi:

38. I edited my reply
I went back and forth on double-entendre and metaphor before posting...

In any event... I made my point. :-)

20. I'll go..LOL
That reminds me of a woman I knew who wondered why she was attracting a bunch of "freaks" to her Yahoo account, and I had to point out that maybe she should take "I like water sports" off of her profile.

21. Awesome name for a taco place.
It'll get people talking and word of mouth is the best advertising.

24. And who can forget the small town "cooter festival"
I think Stephen Colbert hosted that segment.

"Can you catch any diseases from playing with a cooter?"

25. Don't say anything! That's BRILLIANT!
The curiosity traffic alone will probably make her a brazillionaire.

How can you go wrong with a name like that? Clever.Alliterative.And just the slightest bit "naughty".

I would totally go with it.
