Waiting for the first Yammer lawsuit due to corporate data being leaked...

good luck with corporate adoption considering yammer is indian slang for penis

Out of interest where did you see that?

I thought this might be an oversight, so I did a quick Google search using variations of "Yammer", "India", "penis", and apart from your comment could not find anything in the first 5 pages of results for any permutation.

certainly, it has got nothing to do with "India". perhaps, "native indian"

I wouldn't have thought so, after my post I did some (I'll admit not as extensive) searches for other potential variations using phrases like "slang", "indian", "yamma", "yama" and even did permutations in within quotes to see if it would yield anything.

The only thing that was even mildly related to India is "Yama" but he's a hindu deity of death, nothing to do with genitalia.

Yammer is an english slang word for "to speak incessantly about nothing" which pretty much sums up twitter.

The salty cookies that are called 'cut' in America and England, are rebranded as 'tuc' in the Netherlands since 'cut' is dutch slang for vagina (written with a `k').

They sell pretty well around here.
