If you opened a bar, what would you call it?

Maybe one or more of these themes:

  • Loading fuel, or any liquid
  • Arrival at destination (successful or not), or where one goes after landing
  • A play on words or double meaning
  • A shibboleth (“oh, I got that, but normal people wouldn’t”)

In German, the syllable “bar” can be adjoint to a word, and that is done quite regularly

It’s the same in Norwegian. In Norwegian “bar” (alone as a word) also means naked or “by itself” (as well as a bar where you can buy drinks). A common thing to do at a bar is to order a whiskey. When the bartender asks how you want it, you can answer “bar”. This means you want the whiskey without anything else, no ice, no nothing. Which IMO is the only way to drink whiskey or rum for that matter There was a bar in Moss long ago named “Rompa Bar”, which “literally” means with a “nude ass”, like Donald Duck, only the word “rumpa” is used in a more positive/innocent way than the word “ass” I think.

By the way, that’s a good testimony to the similarity between Germanic languages, Norwegian and English in this case: rompa bar = bare rump.
