@pisscotheque All I can think of is worse ways of saying this now.
Virgin Miles/Milege
Virigin Rewards
Virgin Credits
They all sound like something a repressive school would give students
I am really weirded out by how many companies are called Virgin in English-speaking countries. The only German one with the same meaning I ever shopped at was JungfrauPlus (predictably a sex shop). In English-speaking countries they seem to be everywhere.

It's the olive oil that gets me... 😟
@blind_mapmaker @renardboy @pisscotheque That's what happens when a record shop diversifies into having a record label and gets really lucky when the first LP that they release sells 15 million copies*
Thereafter Virgin Radio, Virgin as an ISP, Virgin Money, Virgin Atlantic the airline, Virgin Trains, and so on, pretty much all from Richard Branson even though he sold many of them off when a new project caught his fancy
*The LP in question was an instrumental called Tubular Bells, back in 1972
@pisscotheque alright, fine, we'll can or something else.
How about "cherries?"
(Like Pac-Man)
