Just for fun, what are some popular misnomers that you notice or ones that maybe irrationally upset you? Maybe something regional that is odd from your AO?



"Rakers" on chainsaw chains, they're called "depth gauges" as they do not perform a raking function.

"Bubbler" or pronounced "Bub-lah" for drinking fountain...that one is an oddity to me.

"Buggy" for a shopping cart? For a guy from rural PA, a buggy is a thing the Amish drive about.

Post some up here for discussion.

side-bet...how long before the thread goes astray and people are calling each other names? <20 post, I'd wager.
