Like the second or third time my wife met my parents she asked my mom if she'd read Hairy Twatter (the day before I had told her that would be a funny porn name and it must have stuck in her head). I still laugh about that one.

One was black and she said "tar baby!"
That was my grandma's dog's name. And growing up we had a cat named Beaner because my mom wanted to call him Jellybean which I hated and suggested Beaner because I secretly thought it kind of sounded like boner. The cat was probably 10 before we found out about that one.

I asked the tech if he had any of the new iPhone X's (exes) in stock.

Tech looked at me and said, sir it’s called the iPhone 10.


There were news articles on the confusion about what to call it. I’m not sure there was ever a strong consensus among consumers.
