Cul de Snack is an awful name for a lunch bar. It seems all cutesy until you remember what Cul means en français.

Yeah. Snack's Ass Cafe. Just the right impression.

On the other hand, this is a great name and font for an environmental campaign, and I don't mind that the province is co-sponsoring it. At all.

Looks like a fairly standard casse-croûte kind of menu, not the sushi eaten from a buffet carpeted with scantily-clad young men and women the name would lead me to hope for.

"This snack is terrible, it tastes like ass!"

"Of course it does, didn't you read the sign?"

Wouldn't it be "en francais?" (forgive the lack of a mark on the c)

I would also like to note that some people call the end of a loaf of bread the bum.

I think the above-cited Wikipedia entry is a bit whacked, as "everyone" knows that the pope's nose (sometimes called the parson's nose if the bird is a chicken or isn't very big) refers to the mass of skin, fat and bone that makes up the tail of a cooked turkey.
