Really a fan of the word "crap", I see.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 1 points 1 hour ago

Goofle. Takes the evil out of the name, but still makes fun of it, so I'm for it.

In Québec, so in Frenglish: Wal-Mart --> All-Marde (All-Shit)

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 1 points 1 hour ago

I recently learned about Québecois cursing using every item in a church. They must have some hilarious-sounding mock names for companies there.

Pizza Slut actually sounds like a friendly nickname.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Could be name of a dang good pizza place actually.

[–] oopsgodisdeadmybad@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

I'd eat that triangle. :P

Muy Buenos todos pero perdón por ser "ese" usuario. Bill Gates es técnicamente Facturo Cercas

[–] capuccino@lemmy.world 1 points 25 minutes ago

Sí, es el único con el tengo problemas. Otro nombre que le tengo es "Cuenta (como la de un restaurante, "bill") Puertas"

[–] PodPerson@lemmy.zip 5 points 14 hours ago

I love getting insight into how people mess with language in other languages.

[–] DigDoug@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago

Windows, with it's numerable AI and cloud integrations, has morphed itself into a "Sloperating System" and I refuse to call it anything else.

Still refer to stop and shop as stop and pee sometimes. Its a callback to an old joke from when I was little. The joke was that the 2 grocery stores in town, stop & shop, and A&P were going to merge.

[–] finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Whole foods -> Whole paycheck

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

We used to call it whole booze. Because for some foolish reason, the one in our colege town used to put giant displays of wine (like a full wall of cases of the cheap stuff) in the automatic door vestibule.

So it was pretty common to see a car zoom up, and a couple kids jump out, grab a couple cases and then peel out driving off.

X = xitter, said “shitter”

[–] drkt@scribe.disroot.org 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I say Twitter because Elon deadnames his children so I will deadname his platform.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 10 points 1 day ago

Someone is trying to take over the twitter name to start a new platform: https://www.twitter.new/

I want to see Elon lose the Twitter name and be stuck with X. It's going to be so much fun watching that happen.
