I am studding English for quite a long time and still not feeling that I am a prof and many real things are getting out of my attention.
I've heard at first time this label when I was seventeen years old at institute - in Russian it sounds slightly similar to whore and policeman, this was very entertaining for me at those times because it was the nineties and one our friend Jew which was living at our student’s room was the actual policeman and in addition to direct banditry - robbing the small shops and merchants at the center of Moscow he was performing the duties of protecting the whores and got in love with one which was driving Mercedes which was incredibly cool then, he even was thinking to marry her but the first Chechnya war has started and he did everything is possible to get out of forces and far from this war and of course the girl had disappeared at a moment after he was fired - the clever guy he was and I do believe is!
Well, I have no idea about what it sounds similar to in Russian. Might be that there's something funny among that...
I only found it pretty ridiculous when thinking about it with simple knowledge about the English language... Calling a brand "blend a dentist" and nobody seems to notice. Same is "blend-a-med". WTF?! Call a cola "sugar is bad for you" or some like that!
It's some brand which certain "medical" products (like adhesive cream, toothpaste) are being sold here. Research says it's one owned by Procter&Gamble, so I thought it might be internationally known? Or isn't it?

Really, I think it should be internationally around too.

I finally got to it. Sorry, seems like I have to work more and barely get ends meet.
Not many jokes and awhile ago, though.
