To be really offended by this company name?

NC'd in case DH identifies me but long time poster.
I've been checking off this month's joint account bank statement and came across a payment to a company called 'Bigger Jugs' - turns out it sells home brew stuff so no surprise who its target demographic probably is.
I am feeling surprisingly annoyed that such a name is indelibly listed on our bank statement and that someone I thought was a feminist, and has 2 daughters, actually ordered from this website.

Am I being oversensitive? Would you bring it up with your DH?

We need someone like you to veto some names of mixed netball teams:
Bits and Tits
Norfolk 'n Chance

There's also a pub in north London called The Famous Cock.

I truly hope this is a piss take or you'll be needing the services of a stick removal company...

When i worked in mail order about a decade age we used to supply a company called Smell your Mum, thier logo was a hand giving the finger. Now that was offensive.

Britain leads the world in such double entendres. After Brexit, a dirty sense of humour might be the only thing we have left...

Well it's got you talking about it so good marketing I'd say

Straightforward description of what they offer...larger size beer dispensers. Has the world lost its sense of humour?

catlady3 · 09/12/2019 14:52

I'd mock the hell out of my DP, but not sure I could manage to be offended.

YABU. How ridiculous. Get worked up about something important.

PhilCornwall1 · 09/12/2019 15:00

So you would be offended by an iron mongery name down here, it's "knobs and knockers". I think it brilliant.

You need to get a grip!

@UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername

I've just seen your post. There is an iron mongery here called that too!!

It’s a Lesbian sexual position... 😂

Only if in your mind you equate the word jugs with breasts

I would have thought I could do with a big Jug

Perhaps you could explain WHY it bothers you?

vincettenoir · 09/12/2019 15:24

I’m with you. It’s offensive.

HopeClearwater · 09/12/2019 15:30

I don’t like it much, but I dislike Get Laid beds more.

I used to love going to exhibitions and seeing the 'Rigid Tool' stand.

They had a bumper year at one show when they did canvas bags with ' I

My plumbers company is called ‘bottom plumbers’ his surname is bottom.

I saw a pub in devon once called ‘the cock in cider’

Lots of placed have puns for names.

pigsDOfly · 09/12/2019 18:03

Beginning to wonder if there's a new level of prudery now, when people get offended over such trivial things.

There's so many doubt entendre/pun company names nowadays I'm surprised anyone turns a hair. So many people, so easily offended.

kazza446 · 09/12/2019 18:06

We have a take away butty van near us named melanies big baps!! Nc woman’s name just to protect her!

HeyGepetto · 09/12/2019 18:18

I wanted to start a festival food van called Cheap Tarts, would’ve been perfect festival food

Don't waste time LTB! Pack his bags and dump them.

Don't forget to take sad faced pictures holding the offending jugs & sell your story to the daily fail!

snowball28 · 09/12/2019 20:03

There’s a female plumbing company called ‘stop cocks’ 😂 I think both are just funny names. Maybe he purchased from there cause the price was right? I know I buy from wherever stocks what I want for the cheapest ha!

There is a village in Co Donegal called Muff. They have a diving club it's call Muff Diving Club. Diver is also a surname there. There is a business with that surname. Google it.
