Explanation:
In European PT, I've always known this word to mean a young boy, a kid (or in Lisbon - a type of coffee!). Isn't that what this is referring to? It seems to make sense. i.e. grow up, but keep your 'childish sense of wonder' ho ho.

Oh - I get it - it's a brand name. Oh dear...... a bit slow today :eek: In that case I don't think it'll work, the client will need to take a different approach.
