Yeah? Well Zune you, buddy!
It's not like Zune was a really cool name in the first place, but this is too good. Looks like 'zune' means something ... um ... special, in Hebrew. From ISerializable:"I'm not sure how much the marketing people at Microsoft are aware of this, but "Zune" - their new portable player, has a very "naughty" meaning in Hebrew. How Naughty?
Let's just say that if I were to use it in a sentence it could look like this:
"Would you like to get "Z-une"d and have a cigarette afterwards?"
In fact, it's enough to utter the header on the ZuneScene page to crack up a little smile if you know a little Hebrew :"Dude, You're getting a Zune!"
Could be worse, they could have called it the Phantom.

This is not completely true. The word in Hebrew they are talking about is pronounced "Zah-yen" not "Zoon"

What is going on here?!? First the Wii, then PooS, now Zune. Will the next iPod be called the "dick"? "Well, it's named after Steve Job's nickname, Dick."
Sigh, oh well, I'm off to play with my Wii.
