What is the S gear?

So I was driving my car, an automatic, and I noticed that there's a position on the gearshift labeled "S". I'm not a huge car person and had never really payed attention to it before, so I asked my dad what the S gear does.

Dad: Well, the S stands for snail! The cars of drivers who use the snail gear really well in races are called S-cars. When people on the sidelines see these drivers race, they say "look at that S-Car-go!"

Imagine, if you will, a futuristic dystopian society

In this society, companies and businesses are not legally allowed to give themselves a name. Instead, companies are ID's alphanumerically. The first businesses were Corporation A, Company B, Business C, ... Organization Z, Company A1, etc.

The world's current largest corporation is Company B. They're particularly known for their robotics manufacturing. One day, Company B had just finished the design for two new robots. One that would automatically play blues songs on a record player at the press of a button. (What we know today as a jukebox) The other was a companion robot for lonely people, modeled after a beagle.

Unfortunately, when the final version of these robots were being manufactured for a worldwide release, there was an error in the automated assembly line. This error caused the two robots to be built simultaneously, creating a single robot.

The resulting product came to be known as the Boogie Woogie Beagle Bot of Company B.
