You Pho Keene what?
A Vietnamese restaurant in New Hampshire, USA, which is yet to open has been forced to remove a sign advertising its name, over concerns that it sounded like profanity.
The restaurant is located next to the City Hall in a town called Keene, and the issue has caused a divide among the local community.
So what is it...
Well, Pho is a very popular Vietnamese dish. However, while it's spelled P-H-O it's actually pronounced like 'fuh.'
The restaurant has called itself after the soup, followed by the words 'Keene Great' (being that the building is in Keene and presumably they think it's great).
So Pho (fuh) Keene Great...you get it.

The restaurant then took to it's facebook page to ask the public whether they think the name was offensive or not...
With 3% saying they thought it was. While a resounding 97% thought it was fun and harmless.
We firmly sit in the 97% camp!
