Besides the other issues, the name sucks. Did not one person sound it out before greenlighting it?
I bet they did because it sounds like EU when you do
"eww" is not a common sound of disgust/dislike/... in non-english languages.
at least not in german.
not sure 'bout the others.
It's not in English either. It's a media trope, like saying "ouch" instead if "ow, fuck, stupid fucking coffee table cunt"
It's onomatopoethic and widely undesrtandable regardless of language.
