Thread Name: Juberju/Juber ju/Ju bi ju
Subject: RE: Juberju/Juber ju/Ju bi ju
I wonder if anyone in the design studio or the marketing firm who chose the name knew the phrase from any version of the song. Seems too good to be true if not?

I fear so - too good to be true, I mean - as it's a Romanian website, of a jewellery designer in Moldava. ( ... Google Translate has just assured me that 'ju biju' means 'I'll kill her' in both Czech and Slovak, and 'beat it' in Serbian. Not the most compelling of advertisements for a necklace. One assumes that she sells relatively little of her bijouterie in those countries.)
