Thats pretty much the definetion of 'minging' in this country lol, and its quite common for people to say "you ming" as in, you're smelly, or disgusting.
See why the name won't work over here?
ps I know it's Chinese, I understand their reason for choosing it, but in the UK market it just wont sell.

I get your point now, and it's a valid one. If Moto ever consider selling this model in UK, they should reconsider the naming that's for sure....
P.S. I didn't doubt your familiarity with the Chinese language, I just didn't know what was about the name of it....
