I literally started chuckling alone in my parked car.

"Maybe baby" definitely needs to be a thing.

[–] Raikin@feddit.de 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It actually is, at least in Germany you can buy pregnany tests of a brand called "Maybe-baby".

[–] mustardman@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does it also rhyme in German?

[–] Blyfh@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

These aren't actually German words. It's just an anglicism for a proper noun. So yes, it does rhyme in German, but only because it's pronounced the English way.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

bites tongue

I GOTTA BE 'WELL ACTUALLY GUY'. I can't help it.

A defib would actually be the Hearty Less Retardy.

Edit: And if that offends you, whoosh get a dictionary. It's literally accurate.

[–] AceFour@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

bitey taster?

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Instead of pedant maybe we can say (and I don't actually mean this as an insult)... picky pricky?

Maybe... Hearty Re-Starty?

Ticker Re-jigger?

Pumper Bumper?

Cats would be furry purries.

[–] southbayrideshare@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Uno, dos, meow, meow, tres, cuatro!

Pretty little kitty chased a thing she saw.

Had a pouch of catnip and a feather boa

Furry purry, furry purry.

Traffic circles are "Twirly Whirlies"

To non-Americans they’re already “roundabouts”, which is close enough already really

I had to really laugh at "screamy dreamy"

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is actually a common pattern in urdu, though not for names.

Like "chai" means tea so :

  • "chai shai" = tea and related stuff
  • "khana wana" = food and related stuff
  • "paisay waisay" = money and related stuff

etc.

There is one for bra that's close: over the shoulder boulder holder.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

When my son was really young he called them “boobie connectors“. XD

[–] sverit@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago

I'm actually ok with all of them.

Where is that greentext when you need it?

With the british naming things?

[–] cholesterol@lemmy.wtf 9 points 1 year ago

Although a group of hippos is a 'bloat', hippos don't float. Surely a floatie bloatie is a life vest!

[–] ValiantDust@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

What I took away from this is that we urgently need to find the person in question and let them name everything. Alternatively the person who came up with the names in the post.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

And if he named Teletubbies, we'd have...

[–] Gimly@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seeing this meme always remind me that they decided to translate "walkie talkie" in French to "talkie walkie"... I mean... Why?

Blindy brighty - sun

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It comes from WWII soldier slang, so it's more like if US soldiers named everything.

Reddit mistake of cutting off 3rd party apps: diggie whoopsie

Everytime I see this meme I get Walkie Talkie Man stuck in my head

[–] happyhippo@feddit.it 3 points 1 year ago
[–] Pinklink@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Another point: why when shortened do they call them “walkies”? “You got your walkie on?” That’s the less description-of-use part of the name

[–] Kaiki_Devil@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I’m going to be using these

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But don't defibrillators do the opposite of starting the heart?

[–] Fisk400@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I think the gist of it is that it alters the heart rhythm rather than starting and stopping it.
