What's all the canopy talk? Can we please call them tents (or pop-up tents)?
From my previous post, right before yours (you were probably typing the same time I was):
Heard people and even public officials in New Orleans and these beach communities refer to them as "tents" (stupid Mitch Landrieu even referred to them as "tents without sides"). That irks me to no end... It's very simple, people: a tent has sides and is used for camping or full shelter. A canopy has no sides, just a roof, and is made for shade or rain protection only.
Kudos to all on this thread for referring to them correctly...

No mention of sides in the dictionary.
Canopy

Kudos to you for being a little bitch. I'l pop a clip in yo arse. Do people still say that or is it Magazine?
For real, You can thank EZ Up brand for the "Tent" label when they first came out. They have since gone to calling their products "Shelters" but "EZ Up Tent" is still a VERY popular Google search.
