The use of NOVA as 'no va' is not so evident. But for my experience, is the
class of word used with double sense when the device begin to fail :-)

However, the 'pajero' name for the Mitsubishi is mythical, at least from my
perception here in my country. I even think that I didn't see announces in
TV, radio, and so.

But one of the most funny examples of a recent book that we will NEVER see
published in spanish (at least with the complete name of the author) is
this:

'Programming Java 2 Micro Edition on Symbian OS, by Martin de Jode'

There are sufficient people in this list managing a little Spanish to know
what I mean. And I recommend to use a traductor as google to check it
because the result is VERY explicit.
