You’ll want to read the full article to understand something about the story behind each of these gems, but the list itself does a good job of detailing the myriad ways in which a title can fall flat, including falling prey to cultural differences, suffering from a weak translation, or being overly punny, mind-numbingly descriptive, embarrassingly faddish, completely tin-eared, uncomfortably vulgar, etc. All the more reason to celebrate a really good title!
