Q:

I’m not a native in the English language. Could someone clarify to me why the guild name “Beavers Are Absolutely Spiffin [BAAS]” (where baas means boss/awesomeness in Dutch) is inappropiate? The name “Koalas Are Absolutely Spiffin [KAAS]” (Means cheese, not so different from BAAS since KAAS=BAAS) is the name of my current guild. Unfortunately, the devs overlooked the absolute nessecity of adding Koalas as an option to the emblem design. Due to this grave mistake I cannot put a koala on my guild backpack. I need to stress the importance of both the letter combination (either KAAS or BAAS) and the possibility of presenting the respective cute animal on my backpack.

I sure hope anyone can help me out of this mess!

A:

I’m guessing it’s because among certain groups of people in some English speaking areas (including at least parts of America I think) ‘beaver’ is a euphemism for a woman’s private parts.

Someone probably reported your guild name without ever thinking you may have been referring to actual beavers.

But that’s just my guess. If you want an actual answer and especially if you want the chance to keep that guild name you’ll need to open a support ticket to discuss it with Arenanet.

Sure did so! Thank you very much for the suggestion!
