walkie talkie - Lemmy.world

“Maybe baby” definitely needs to be a thing.
It actually is, at least in Germany you can buy pregnany tests of a brand called “Maybe-bayby”.
Does it also rhyme in German?
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.

I had to really laugh at “screamy dreamy”
I will be calling bumble bees fuzzy buzzys from now on. Thanks!
All I can see is Law and Order.
I knew I couldn’t be the only one who noticed the type face.
feetie heatie actually sounds good
These look doubleplusgood to me!
Traffic circles are “Twirly Whirlies”
To non-Americans they’re already “roundabouts”, which is close enough already really
Americans mostly call them “oh, fuck? What do I do?” We have the best drivers.
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.
Diarrhea: Soupy Poopy.
I literally started chuckling alone in my parked car.
Should I add parked car ? Not browsing while driving 💥 🚗

I GOTTA BE ‘WELL ACTUALLY GUY’. I can’t help it.

A defib would actually be the Hearty Less Retardy.

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?

Despite what happens in movies, defibrillators are used to stop arrhythmia and don’t jump start hearts back up. Arhythmia is when the timing/pace is out of sync, which is also known as timing retardation. Although we usually use that term for engines, it’s essentially the exact same thing.

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
The sub’s name just clicked for me. Lemme shitpost! Hah, that’s brilliant
Everytime I see this meme I get Walkie Talkie Man stuck in my head
Although a group of hippos is a ‘bloat’, hippos don’t float. Surely a floatie bloatie is a life vest!
There is one for bra that’s close: over the shoulder boulder holder.
When my son was really young he called them “boobie connectors“. XD
Seeing this meme always remind me that they decided to translate “walkie talkie” in French to “talkie walkie”… I mean… Why?
Guessing adjective noun ordering? 🤓 idk
But don’t defibrillators do the opposite of starting the heart?
I think the gist of it is that it alters the heart rhythm rather than starting and stopping it.

I think they are supposed to rhyme.
I tried my best to make them rhyme as closely as possible
I’m actually ok with all of them.
It comes from WWII soldier slang, so it’s more like if US soldiers named everything.
But there had to be one guy that started it, unless they were all linked in a vulcan mind meld

Where is that greentext when you need it?

With the british naming things?
