We used to call it whole booze. Because for some foolish reason, the one in our colege town used to put giant displays of wine (like a full wall of cases of the cheap stuff) in the automatic door vestibule.
So it was pretty common to see a car zoom up, and a couple kids jump out, grab a couple cases and then peel out driving off.
Still refer to stop and shop as stop and pee sometimes. Its a callback to an old joke from when I was little. The joke was that the 2 grocery stores in town, stop & shop, and A&P were going to merge.
If Wikipedia is to be believed, the Backstreet Girls are a Norwegian rock band formed in 1984. Which means they predate the Backstreet Boys by a long time.
But I have to take Wikipedia at its word, since most sources are in Norwegian.
"Crap made by slaves" for most goods sold here in the US. It's not always true, but total disregard almost every company with cases of proven forced labor of innocent people including women and children it's easier for me to write it all off as fucked up to buy. It's also all made to breakdown into known toxic waste soon enough to force you to buy more soon.
"Sugar water" for sweet tea soda and filtered juices.
"Advertised burger" for anything that I know sucks but for no good reason I really crave some gut wrenching to fastfood.
"Internet of Stings" is a good stallmanism.
"Unmanned ground drone" for a waymo or anything it. The cameras just creep me out.
"Children electrocutioners" for ChicFila
"Relic looters" for hobby lobby
"The company that stole 300 bucks from me" for local crooked car dealer ship that stole 300 bucks from me.
I hate ads because they make these horrible places seem normal, so I try my best at anti advertising.
None. It doesn't do anything. Don't like nestle? I don't buy their products. Maybe spread the word among family and friends. Same for coca cola. Same for tesla. Same for a bunch of others. Finding names for them seems a bit childish.
Wow you're so mature, I hope we can all be as grown up as you some day. Thanks for pointing out how above it all you are, it makes you seem really cool and fun. Hopefully some day the rest of us can live such rigid and whimsy-less lives, too.

Someone is trying to take over the twitter name to start a new platform: https://www.twitter.new/
I want to see Elon lose the Twitter name and be stuck with X. It's going to be so much fun watching that happen.
