I’m thinking things like “Same-sung” For Samsung, because all their products look kinda generic and boring, or Ford standing for “Fix Or Repair Daily” because of the engineering and build quality, or “McDiabetes”, for obvious reasons.

    When I had a Samsung TV, I hated it intensely and printed a label that said “scamsung.” That TV eventually went to the recyclers with that label still covering the Samsung one.

    McDonalds→McDicks→McPenis. I’m mature.

      Fucking amazing. Some DnD game master is absolutely going to steal that and see how long it takes one of the players to break character.

    “Home Despot” is one of my favs from Joey Santore of crime pays but botany doesn’t.

    In our household McDonald’s is nearly universally McZargald’s, based on the Calvin and Hobbes strip. They’re not much good for anything except a reliable place to stop and take a leak when you’re on the hyperspace bypass anyway.

    Similarly, I don’t think anyone in my circle has referred to that Baja Blast, chalupa, and fried chicken establishment as anything other than “Cluckin’ Bell” for several decades thanks to the early 3D GTA games.

    Before they became Microslop, they were Micro$haft in the IT world. The double entendre is self explanatory.

    Pontiac stands for Poor Old Neanderthal Thinks It’s A Cadillac.

    Idiots Become Managers

    Broadcum

    But I’ve also just seen IBM and broadcom be used a verb for price hikes or rug pulls.

    Best Buy: Worst Buy

    Target: it is pronounced “tar-jay” because it is the fancy version of Walmart
