Ever since foreign vehicles flooded Iraq’s Kurdish north, the Kurds have struggled to pronounce the names of many of the models that have been imported into the region.

Some Kurds cannot pronounce the names of certain models. A salesman told the Wall Street Journal, in place of the actual manufacturer's names for certain models, they come up with “beautiful names".

For instance, the Chrysler 300 is widely referred to as "Obama".

The origin of the name is disputed between the first car the president was seen driving in, to the first car that arrived in the region, reports the journal.

People do not call the car a Chrysler; instead the vernacular is “meet me in the Obama.” . . .


Let the barbs begin.
