This is indeed hilarious. Even for an Italian ear it kinda sounds like that.

I hope that in Spanish or Portuguese it doesn't evoke that kind of feeling too, but I am afraid it probably does.

You probably made your product very hilarious (and probably hard to sell) for the entirety of the Romance-speaking market...

Not quite the entirety of it: "magicul" means "magical" in Romanian.

Yeah, it does. "Culio" could be seen as the past tense of the verb "culear" - derived from the word for ass - and which, as far as I know, is a naughty word in most of latin america.
