"Matlab" in Hindi literally stands for "meaning" - although it's pronounced Muth-lub (both u's pronounced as in the English word "hut").

At the company I work for, I sometimes provide people with various MATLAB-compiled standalone utilities for their work. When I told him it was MATLAB, one of the people here, who was apparently unfamiliar with The Mathworks and its products, concluded that MATLAB itself was my invention and that I had named MATLAB after myself (because my name is Matt......Matt-Lab......get it?).

Doe that mean that those of us who consume a lot of Matlab have to be worried if we become nauseous or develop abdominal pain?

Better not tell the people in the "I hate MATLAB" facebook group! They probably already believe that MATLAB causes abdominal pain.

At my University someone has a car with "MATLAB" as their license plate text. I'm not positive who it is, though I have my guesses (that I'm sure some of you can deduce by looking at my University). As far as a reference/citation, I don't think whoever owns that car would appreciate their license plate shown all over the internet.

I don't know who Dr. B. L is, but my license plate has been "MATLAB" for about a decade now. :-) I started using "Classic MATLAB" on the mainframe in graduate school in 1983 and was one of the first purchasers of PC-MATLAB in very early 1986. Jack Little answered the phone as he was tech support back then. I wrote a couple books on MATLAB. Duane Hanselman

I think it's kind of funny that he refers to it as a mesh. Isn't it a surface?

I do see the logo on other vehicles once in a while. If you see the logo on the back of a silver VW EuroVan with Idaho plates, look at the driver. You may just spot a bearded man wearing a MATLAB hat. Don't hesitate to wave!

I don't have it. I don't recall seeing it as an option before. Reminds me of a mousepad - do you have a MATLAB one of those? Like a thin neoprene and fabric one? I'd take one of those.

I Hate MATLAB. (3,873 people like this.)
You can choose between I Hate MATLAB, I hate "MATLAB", We Hate MATLAB, I F#$*ing Hate Matlab, or I Hate MATLAB and LABVIEW!!!
Maybe we'll start to see things like:
I Hate MATLAB but I hate those jerks in the I hate "MATLAB" group even more!

That presents some tough choices: Do I sign up for "I hate Excel", "I hate Excel!", "I hate Excel!!", "I hate Microsoft Excel", or "we all hate microsoft excel"?

From the Acknowledgements section of Spectral methods in MATLAB by Lloyd Nicholas Trefethen:
"... there is a brass plaque on my office wall, given to me in 1998 by The MathWorks Inc., which reads: FIRST ORDER FOR MATLAB, February 7, 1985, Ordered by Professor Nick Trefethen, Massachusetts Institute of Technology."

The image didn't display reliably on this site, so I have posted the link to the archive instead.

There is a town in Bangladesh where many studies have been done on diarrheal disease:

etc.
Some of these are pretty mathematical papers, but I doubt that is why the town keeps getting chosen.

On an episode of Harry's law (I can't remember which one), Tommy Jefferson (a fast-talking lawyer) boasts about a number of lawsuits he's won against various big corporations. It went something like this:
"Amazon, Microsoft, Matlab, ..."
Which was pretty amusing

There is this guy who hates around everything about MATLAB. Pretty fun to read about his frustration and anger.

This answer has been marked as potential spam. I'm afraid it advertises the use of Matlab in an unexpected place.
Anyway, I've removed the flag.
