Band.

Anyway, all of these besides the original are instances of use as a title or a brand name, not a different meaning.

Yup, I don't think we will see an argument using the word where one person is talking about a car and the other person talking about a band.

I think you should edit the Thread Title for clarity: Words/phrases with drastically different meanings to different people, and will cause an argument?

We all know words have different meanings. The purpose of the thread was how in the same discussion we are not on the same page for the meaning of the word. No one in the Eurovision discussion is thinking that "proud Jew" means someone who is proud of getting a cheaper price on something.
