A group of pandas is called an ‘embarrassment’.

In Britain, police cars were popularly known as 'Panda Cars'. This was apparently because early versions had a black and white colour scheme, though I've never actually seen such an example and wonder how many people have. The cars were in fact painted in blue and white during the 1960s and 1970s.
Later cars came to be termed 'Jam Sandwiches', on account of their colour scheme. The SD1 Rovers were the best known examples of this.

Here's something I remember very well:
When the Japanese series Sailor Moon was dubbed in English for the US, the lesbian couple Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune were portrayed as cousins to avoid controversy. However, the edits didn’t hide their obvious flirting, so their attempts at censorship instead caused people to think the relationship was both homosexual and incestuous.

"Mummy Brown" was a pigment prized by painters from the 16th to early 20th Centuries. It was called that because it was made from mummies - yes, really; centuries dead ancient Egyptian people ground up into powder (and even mummified cats, too.) Appropriately enough, it was said to be good for painting "flesh tones". Thankfully, modern "mummy brown" paint is now made of inorganic ingredients, so modern painters don't have to worry so much about their pictures being haunted or cursed!
