The rude verb is Zahyen, or something. by shminux 2006-07-26 08:59:34
'Zoneh', with stress on the second syllable, would be the present tense of the verb. Although I don't believe it's as rude a word in Hebrew as the f-word in English. (Mod me if I'm wrong.) 'Ziyun' is the act. 'Zonah' means whore. The only way I can imagine Zune would sound rude if one first substitutes English letters with Hebrew ones, then pronounces what happens.

In any case, it doesn't seem nearly as bad as the Ford's attempt to market Ford Pinto in Brasil without first changing the name.
