Just as demolition and construction operations are about to begin on the 4990 Fairmont luxury condo tower in downtown Bethesda, developer Duball, LLC has announced the official name of the building - Cheval Bethesda. The
website for the building has gone live, as well.
Condos in the building will go on sale after groundbreaking for the project, which is scheduled to happen by the end of the year. The former BP gas station and an office building on the site will have to be demolished before excavation can begin, however.
Because it just sounds so much higher class than "Bethesda Horse".

From Urban dictionary'
ReplyDeleteOriginally the French word for horse it is now American slang for a woman whom one dislikes or considers to be malicious or unpleasant because they have come between a once happy and serious relationship.
You and your boyfriend are in a serious relationship, and he suddenly breaks up with you. You find out later that a cheval was the reason for your parting.

It should be required that Urban dictionary be checked before naming anything (or anyone--See spurgeon.)
ReplyDeleteHaha yeah I wonder what their marketing team does when they come up with these names.
