Reminds me of the time when Disney allegedly sent a memo to workers at Disney Land and Disney World telling them they’d be fired if they didn’t stop complaining about the abysmal working conditions by calling both parks Mousewitz they’d be fired.

Within the hour, workers started calling it Duchau in stead

I get the Mousewitz part but what’s the reference to Dachau about? Duchau read like _Duck_au as in Donald Duck?

Remember how Americans would pronounce the ch. They already basically say Dackau, so Duckau isn’t a far stretch.
