I'm really sorry

We have a Chinese place called Fu King. People like to say "Hey, you wanna go out together and get some fu king eggrolls?"

[DerangedHermit]

OP: all those names for Pathmark, and you don't even call them Skidmark?

Also, another nickname I have for Pathmark now that A&P owns them is Waldbamark.

There's a Chinese buffet around me called Dynasty Buffet that we once passed by as it was emitting a foul odor. Me and my brother decided to call it Die Nasty Buffet.

Oh, and a store in my town is legitimately named Holla Dollar. Yeah.

There's a pizza place in the town where I work that everyone calls "Pizza No Go" cuz their pizza is so disgusting. XD That's obviously not its name.

[AdminAssistant]

There's a chain of gas stations called Kum & Go (no I am not making that up), that we used to call Squirt and Spurt.

I'm such a geek

My brother and I routinely call it Wall Market, after the slums in Sector 7 in FF7. Run by Don Corneo, a ridiculously worthless pimp who trades security, or the feeling of it, for monetary, or sexual, favors. Yup. Seems fitting.

all c-stores: "Stop & Rob"



(as in get robbed)

Don't forget Starfucks.

[Zellie Crescent]

The only names I can think of for certain places are these:

Asshats & Pinheads (me & my mom work there)

Shopwrong (another relative of mine works there)

The marked path

The path of Mark

Stop & P (courtesy of TheSHADOW)

The spit (my brother put an s in front of it)

The shit (another nice nick name he gave it)

That's about it.

speaking of odd names, every time I see debit card pop up in a story, my mind immediately thinks "Visa Debit" or "mastercard debit."

The cards that are issued by your bank/building society/credit union and are not linked to a Visa or Mastercard in any way are just referred to as either bankcards, eCards or EFTPOS cards. Most kids accounts fall into this category since you need to be 18 to have a debit card. When you swipe your card on the Pinpad, it asks you to select cheque or savings. Most folks select savings.

A debit card in Australia, refers to a bankcard linked with Visa or Mastercard. Basically it turns into a credit card, but it's with your own money and can be used to do anything that a normal Visa/Mastercard can do. My boyfriend has one of these and I'm considering also getting one of these.

Then you have your bog-standard credit cards. Some accounts will allow you to link your savings account to the credit card, so you can access both accounts from the one card (My family does this). Others will have separate credit-only accounts. American Express, Diners and ALL store cards are of course, credit cards only.

I prefer "Wal-Fart", because fart is probably one of the best words ever.

But don't even get me started on my cutsie nicknames for stores and restaurants.

[AdminAssistant]

I always figured they got Wally from Sam Walton and the Walton family.....

Well, that's certainly where they got the name of the store, but I think Wally World is just a silly nickname.

I always figured they got Wally from Sam Walton and the Walton family.....

I'm remembering right now when Paris Hilton asked if they sold walls at Wal-Mart.

My personal favorite is the Evil Empire Store.

[ravevolution]

I worked there for 4 years. . .

I worked there for one year which was 11 months and 29 days too long for me
