Mentalfloss has a list of eight tech product names, their origins and what they could have been called. For example, TiVo could have been Bongo, and Hulu means butt in Indonesian. Haha, butt. [Mentalfloss]
I’m Indonesian and sorry, but Hulu does not mean butt in bahasa (Indonesian) or any variant of the dialect. Never has and never will. Someone needs to check their facts!
