If you could rename something...

Recommended Posts

what would you call it?

Such as an arm. Why not call it a reacher? And the hand can be called the grabber. Why is a store called a store? Or how about the word shoes? Who came up with all of these. And why are we forced to follow the "norm" and call this things by these "names"?

I say we protest and come up with new names for everything. :D

Mike always gets irritated when I call the lines 'ropes.' Tells me to stay away from them when I say they need to be untangled. :ph34r::D

In my family, a banana is called a "ma-dot". Apparently, my sister named it that when she was just learning how to talk. We also call elephants as "elefudgents".

My boyfriend calls the remote control a "moke-a-matrol." I call the computer a "puter".
It's funny how families and/or couples have their own "language".

Air Conditioner. How many syllables do you need, anyway?

Call it a "cooler". Opposite of "heater".

Some people call it A/C, which I hate. My degree in electrical engineering has me wired - AC = Alternating Current. Pilots call aircraft AC sometimes. Two-letter acronyms have too many different meanings.

Got some pre-existing scouse words for you since I'm not feeling creative:

Divvy - stupid person
Bizzy - police officer
Leccy - electricity
Ozzie - hospital
(anyone see a pattern? ;))

Keks - trousers (pants!)
Sound - good

As for new made up words - sorry, got not'n. :|

From my neighbor in the next cube who heard me laughing and came to see what was funny:

Spotted dick. It sounds like a disease. Call it currant pudding or currant cake please.



Nope.

They pretty much hate it when you call all ropes... STRINGS too.

Pointy end and stubby end - works for me too
