Gbuy

So apparently Google is starting a new service to compete against Paypal and they've decided to name it "Gbuy". This name sounds innocuous enough unless you are familiar with Singlish vocabulary. Check out these commentaries by Tinker Tailor and Mr. Brown. For the uninitiated, you may want to check out the Urban Dictionary.

On a separate, and less potentially offensive note, here's a peek into what Googleplex looks like on the inside.
