[–] DigDoug@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

Okay, that one got me.

[–] PodPerson@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 6 points 13 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.

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

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 17 hours ago (1 children)

Whole foods -> Whole paycheck

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 4 points 15 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.

I like this one. The memes coming out of his Nazi salute were pretty good.

X = xitter, said “shitter”

[–] drkt@scribe.disroot.org 23 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 8 points 21 hours 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.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Or Twitter users: Twits.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 9 points 23 hours ago

Oh, I use "Twatter".

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 4 points 21 hours ago

It has been the toiletbowl of the world for years. Never was a "townsquare".

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

Lol a trucking company I worked for in high school was called "Cheezik Transport" or something like that but all the workers called it "Cheese Dick"

Yes, I've had the displeasure. Good one.

Not companies, but "N*STINK, Backstreet Girls, and 98 Disease" lives rent free in my brain.

Please tell me that the Backstreet Girls exist now as a badass parody/cover band.

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 hours ago

If Wikipedia is to be believed, the Backstreet Girls are a Norwegian rock band formed in 1984. Which means they predate the Backstreet Boys by a long time.

But I have to take Wikipedia at its word, since most sources are in Norwegian.

EA has been either Electronic Farts or Evil Assholes since middle school, for me.

[–] _NetNomad@fedia.io 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

there is truly no higher art than replacing "art" or "heart" with "fart"

[–] kopasu22@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

You mean there is truly no higher fart?

[–] _NetNomad@fedia.io 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
[–] kopasu22@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

I truly suffer for my fart.

...especially after eating too much dairy.

[–] Nibodhika@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

For years my grub entry read rWindows, it doesn't make sense in English, but "Ruim" is portuguese for bad, so it sounds similar to badows.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I found some for Apple. They aren't all "pejorative" but still

  • Fruit Company (or Fruit Store)
  • i.... --> iSheep, iOverprice, iGreed, iLies, iRot
  • Apfel von Braun (Apple sucks up to fascists and authoritarians, Hiterl's wife was Eva Braun, Apfel = Apple in German)
  • Malus - Latin name for Apple
