No, you missed a punchline. It was renamed from Ayds to Slim-Aids… except that, among other things, “Slim” was the colloquial name for AIDS in parts of Africa.
But you’re right, it didn’t work.
I’m gonna take a guess and say noooo, he doesn’t mean Norwalk.
Certainly Cheddar, England has more going for it than a generic kind of cheese. I’m sure it’s quite a lovely town.
Duh, thanks. I’m so on to other scandals… 
Hell, Michigan
A pair of German travelers stepped out of a stagecoach one sunny afternoon in the 1830s, and one said to the other, “So schön hell!” ( translated as, “So beautifully bright!”) Their comments were overheard by some locals and the name stuck. Soon after Michigan gained statehood, George Reeves was asked what he thought the town he helped settle should be called and replied, “I don’t care, you can name it Hell for all I care.” The name became official on October 13, 1841.
Car and Driver had a stop in Hell, complete with obligatory town sign shot, around 1980.
There are a number of Hells in the NYC area (no obvious jokes, plz), all derived from the Dutch Helle or Helles. Best known is probably Hell’s Kitchen. But this is kind of the inverse of the OP’s question, isn’t it?
As Chris Rock says. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive is the worst road in the city…
““Slim” was the colloquial name for AIDS in parts of Africa.”
The English language parts?
What about Columbine High School.
I have a T-shirt that says "I <3 Intercourse PA.
Actually, not really- the local scenery is quite nice, but the town is tiny, and full of tacky tourist cheese shops.
Nigeria. Now unfortunately synonymous with “fraudulent”.
Hmm. Problematic. If we used to use the now-impolite “gypped” and "welshed,’ I shudder to think of the verb form of Nigeria-as-land-of-cheaters.
AFAIK, Africa has three working lingua francas: English, French and Swahili. Not sure of how prevalent the term was but yes, I’d assume it was the term in English.
The railway station in Hell, Norway.
The end of my '69, at 72,000 miles — in another thread — in Canada.
In '72 I bought a new one. Drove it for 232,000 miles in four or five years, from 40 below and blinding blizzards to 102°F. The two-litre engine (German? and the same as the Pinto’s) was superb (never had it apart, but the overhead-cam belt broke every 40,000 miles, like clockwork), the rest of it not so much.
I had a 2003 Malibu. You can imagine what that POS model name is doing to California.
Yes - among other things, in the early days one of the telling characteristics of “the gay cancer” was extreme weight loss.
Don’t know if that was Kaposi’s Sarcoma or other opportunistic disease acting.
LOL! 
(I like Brussels sprouts, BTW)
I’ve been to Hell, Norway. It’s near Trondheim.
Sometimes, it does freeze over.
ETA: Floater beat me to it.
What, no mention yet of Chernobyl? What about Bhopal?
I questioned that tyhe English word “slim” was an African colloquialism for AIDS. One response said “I assume it was the term in English” another noted that it was because of weight loss associated with the disease.
To use another colloquilism “Well duh.”
I guess I must explain was that I was questioning that an English term was the colloquialism for AIDS on a continent where English is not the predominant language as a colloquialism is generally speaking a term of the local language and not a borrowed foreign word.
