Give an object a more appropriate name.

[barbzilla]

Refrigerator should be renamed Cryostorage. I have never Fridgerated something, nor do I even believe that is a word. So why on earth would I do that twice?

 

[Pink Gregory]

The Blackthorn tree.

To me, it's the pointy cuntbastard bush.

They hurt like the dickens.

 

[sinsfire]

The toothbrush should really be renamed the teethbrush, unless of course you live in Alabama. In which case, carry on...

 

[The Funslinger]

The woodwind instrument called the recorder should be renamed "Tube of Hate"

Alternatively the Ear Bleeder, or Child humiliator.

Seriously, nothing sounds good on a recorder, ever. It's pretty much invented to drive children away from expressing themselves through music.

instead of just calling our moon 'the moon', i think it should be called 'luna'. also 'the sun' should be called 'sol'.

i maean, using 'the moon' and 'the sun' would be just like calling earth 'the planet'.


one other thing, any of you heard of nightcore? the genre of techno music? i for one think the name is INCREDIBLY misleading; doesnt sound like the actually music it describes AT ALL.

Our sun and moon are called Sol and Luna respectively.

Also. Fucking nightcore, I clicked it expecting something that WASN'T sped-up and higher-pitched versions of otherwise-unedited music.

I've always found names of things that are lame and for losers should be renamed to something cooler sounding, like the word for someone who hasn't had sex yet "Virgin"... it sounds shit ergo people don't want to be labeled as such, you instantly want to lose your virginity. So I've always proposed to my friends (or anyone that's in the unfornate circumstance of being in close proximity to me) that virginity should be called Axle

no one would want to lose their fucking Axle... ITS GOT AN X IN IT FOR GOODNESS SAKE! X'S ARE COOL!

as an aside.

They should re-name yacht a "look-how-rich-I-am"
also an egg-beater should be an egg stirrer.

SNIP

You should delete that before the mods see. The flash splash one counts as pornography.

Excellent work citizen!

Thanks for that, I didn't spot that. Cheers.

Self moderation for the win there buddy.

See this thing:

This is called a "ballcock." No, seriously. It's a mechanism for filling the water tank in your toilet. How about we call it something else? Like "water sphere" and "water pump." Anything is better than "ballcock."

 

[Sherokain]

They should have named cricket "****** Paddle"

Except probably at the time of conception a ****** was a meat ball basically so that makes zero sense.

OT Ive always thought video game sounds kind of weird these days since the days of videos are long gone, personally i always just make the distinction between computer and console games.

They should re-name yacht a "look-how-rich-I-am"
also an egg-beater should be an egg stirrer.

...and the wife beater should obviously be called man dresser. or top half human with no or little breasts and nice looking taut muscles presenter cloth. or overpantshirt. or upper undies.

As a more technical-oriented individual, I am perfectly happy with jet ski. Boatercycle is very, very wrong. The 'cycle' part is a lie, as the only thing spinning is not visible. Plus, the spinning thing creates a jet of water. Hence the jet part. Ski is a bit confusing. Water mobile would have been the easiest way out, but that, too, would have been misleading and not very precise.

I vote for bagpipes to be renamed "Worst thing ever invented by a human"
I don't know who you are, guy who plays bag pipes in the morning once a week, but I will hunt you down and I will kill you.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Refrigerator should be renamed Cryostorage. I have never Fridgerated something, nor do I even believe that is a word. So why on earth would I do that twice?

Cyrostorage sounds way more awesome as well. Now I'm going to be reminded of Alien every time I put something in the fridge.

Personally, I'm all for torches to be renamed photon catapults. 'It's too dark? Bring me my photon catapult!'

How about 'Penis Pump Water Floater Bloater'?

They should have named cricket "****** Paddle"

I've never understood the hate cricket gets, from Americans in particular. It's exactly as boring as baseball, which may as well be a religion for some.

Yeah, I don't actually have any problem with cricket, it seems like it could be some pretty good fun. But I'm not really into sports on the whole so I'm not sure how much I'd actually enjoy it..

But ****** Paddle just sounds hilarious

 

[BishopOfBattle]

Stun Gun would become Taser.
Taser would become Stun Gun.

Whoever decided that a hand held device with no ranged properties should be called a "Gun" was a fool.

 

[breadsammich]

My grandfather called watermelons "Pisschunks". I never met the guy, and that makes me sad.

 

[Dreiko_v1legacy]

They should rename tanks "fuck-you-car". I mean, look at them, they constantly give you the middle finger in both appearance and function.


And for a more relevant one, videogames should be called "experience thrusters".

Why do we call a glass a glass? You say you want a glass of beer, or a glass of Pepsi, or a glass of wine. Glass is a material.

When you use a bowl, you don't say that I'll have a ceramic of ice cream, or a polystyrene of coffee, or I'll put my socks in the polished beech wood.

I can't think of an alternate name right now, I just started pondering that while I'm bored off my arse in work.

Hell, sometimes glasses can be made of plastic. We still call them a plastic glass, despite that being a paradox. (plastic is plastic, it can't be glass, glass is glass, a different substance from plastic)
