Heavy Load?
Unlikely that's it's a play on words for "Heavy Load". It doesn't make sense. Especially since Lourde is the french word.

- In french, "lourde" is a feminine adjective and it means heavy. The masculine form, which is applied by default would be "lourd" and it should have been used on the weight. It may be a reference to written french jokes in Warner Brothers cartoons, in "Pepe le Pew" and others where they made similar mistakes with "word genders".
