X Prostatus
Tim says:
I realize that this is the name of a sporting goods maker. The problem is that, written in this way, it reminds me too much of the word “prostate” (前立腺)! This brand seems like it could be uncomfortable for men, haha.
Most of the English Web sites I searched spelled this expression with a space or a hyphen, which makes sense. “Status” is not usually combined with adjectives; for example “high status.” An expression like this could be hyphenated to be used as an adjective: “a high-status person”.
O Pro Status O Pro-Status
