The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, a Dodgers minor league team, chose 'Chaquetas' as an alternate name, then learned of the word's slang meaning.
Chaqueta is the Spanish word for jacket. But it also has another meaning that is, let's just say, NSFW. The word can also be slang for masturbation. The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes were unaware of the word's second meaning when they chose the nickname Chaquetas for Minor League Baseball's Copa de la Diversión series this season.
' Mariachi was already taken as another team's name, so the Quakes started pondering other options “And so that’s when we came up with — what did Kelly wear at the White House? He wore a mariachi jacket. All right, what if we just go with the literal translation of jacket? Chaquetas! We knew there were a couple of options there, but we were drawn to Chaquetas because of the Q, you know? Everything in Quakes-land — our jersey, our cap — it’s all Q. We have a lot of fun with the letter Q.
