For three decades (60’s – 80’s) the Chevrolet motor company had a very successful model called the NOVA.. It was reported that at one time Chevrolet decided to sell this particular model in Mexico.. The sales of this model, while very successful in the US, was reportedly a utter disaster. Apparently no one within the Chevrolet motor division considered that the word NOVA had its own meaning in Spanish, which was “no go” !
Which, at least in part explain the reason for the dismal sales figures in Mexico.
I may be wrong, but I always understood that CVS stood for Consumer Value Stores.
According to Wikipedia… CVS has an additional meaning in some circles and in fact is the initials for a DISEASE STATE, like many disease states, the initials of the disease/syndrome is used on a regular basis..
CYCLIC VOMITING SYNDROME

It would seem that the second largest drug store chain in the US, shares the same initials with a stomach churning (pun intended) disease state.
I’m just saying….
