I'm wondering if this could be a reference to the french town of Aix-les-Bains, or just a generic name based on cultural references.

  • "Aix" is a common city name in France. Comes from the latin "aqua" (water). Most cities called "Aix" used to accomodate a bath house in roman times.
  • "Pain" is "bread" in French ...(unsigned comment by ‎Poorkenny, 16 Nov 2014)
Also looks a lot like "aches 'n' pains", though. --Old Dickens (talk) 15:30, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
