In german, "Arch" sounds similar to the german word "Arsch", which means "ass" as in asshole - a running gag. Btw. and a bit offtopic: I think the pronounciation for Suse promoted in the video is completely wrong. I never heard someone pronounce it that way. We should do better, if we at all do it. Stefan
