Maybe you mean pinto, or maybe there is two, because Ford was wondering why the pinto was doing terrible in mexico, then they found out it mean small male genitalia
Edit: it was Brazill "Ford sales of its Pinto car was a disaster in Brazil. Pinto was Brazilian slang for "small male genitals". They had to completely rebadge all the cars with a new name "Corcel" which means horse."
