Things that straddle categories can be annoying because they're hard to classify. Look, for example, at the following picture of a container of Coca Cola:
It's made out of the same thin aluminum as a regular Coke can, but it's shaped like a bottle. So what is it? A bottle? A can? A cottle? A ban?
I'm going to call it a teen, because it can't decide what it wants to be.

Aluminium bottle: too lengthy.
ReplyDelete"Teen": Great coinage. You could spell it "tin" (as in the metal) and pronounce it "teen," killing two birds with one well-aimed stone.
Nice!
ReplyDeleteOr put an apostrophe in front and make it a 'teen, thereby implying that it's some sort of CAN-teen.
Well, I could never get used to those skinny ass cans anyway. I think I prefer the shape of teens. Which makes me sound like an old pervert I guess.
ReplyDeleteI would vote for "cottle," were this a democracy.
ReplyDeleteTell me you are not drinking this crap!
