Swedish, not sweetish...

This represents a prime example of why people who fall in love with a particular name should check it out before tagging it on a baby.

A quick 'net search revealed that "Kyas" is the first word found in a Swedish phrase of profanity apparently meaning "eat", as in "Eat (expletive commonly used in place of feces)."

Ewww Yucky! Thank goodness they found out about it's meaning before they named a kid that! What would people do without you, Nan?
