local businesses with horribly formed "names"

looool

I remember earlier this year hearing on the radio "the Met Office have issued a yellow snow warning" and sniggering to myself

I expect the Zappa fans to come out of the woodwork for this one.

i like ones that have a sign with their slogan written just as big as the name of the store so it appears to be one long title:
Zak's ATV Zone We Sell ATVs
DOORS N MORE What's The More? Windows!

This never stops making me giggle either.

Does everyone else in the UK have Virgin TV/broadband installer vans with "hilarious" Van puns on their vans? There's a van belonging to a neighbour with "Van Diesel" on it parked round the corner - have also seen Julie Vandrews and Marlon Vando kicking around the area.

this place been drawing attention to itself for price discrimination. just now noticed its horribly formed name.

the Hands On Children Museum

Not exactly local, but on WNYC they keep mentioning this underwriter called "Mail Chimp" and it always comes across to me as "Male Chimp." Terrible name either way.

I thought of this thread today bcz I came up with the name "Backto Realty" which is not a real realtor but if it was it wd belong in this thread.

MailChimp is a bulk email service, isn't it? Not an underwriter.

Check out this shipping/packaging store: http://www.goinpostalwdm.com/

oh wait

never mind, I misread your use of underwriter, carry on

right

it also sounds to me like it would just kind of scamper up a tree with your mail and comically feign reading it before tossing it away

but guys, really. "Goin' Postal"

Not as funny when the person knowingly makes a "horribly formed name."

Teaffee, Brooklyn. Because they serve tea... and coffee... and tea and coffee together.

You are mistaken, this business is clearly named "eaffee."

there's a septic company in O-town called "Brownies". ugh.

Hahaa... Gonadseaffee

I wanted to start a brand called namastea but I was the thousandth guy with the idea

My brother-in-law used to live in Eugene and we always had to drive by this place to get to his apartment:

I have no idea what these people were thinking and I'm still haunted by this five years later

I guess there was already a Hairba Dabba Doo in the neighborhood

We pass this place in Greenvile, SC on road trips http://greenville-sc.opendi.us/646882.html

O_o

It was formerly called Lolita's Child Development Center. But I'm not sure Lolita's World of Wonder is better.

Once saw a Chinese restauarant called Bon Appetit

Lolita's World of Wonder somehow reminds me of the friend who decided to change her life/career/etc. after passing a shuttered tourist trap with faded sign reading "World of Dreams Museum," and having a vision of her own dreams bottled, labeled, and sitting dusty on the shelf of a defunct roadside attraction.

"Fun Bags Party Shop"

A friend just told me about a bar that some girls were saying they "love to get drunk at" called Sloppy Tuna.

Passed a sign today that said: COMING SOON - SHABBYLOUS CHIC

u_u

Isnt that a play on shabby chic? Which I thought was a shitty fad that'd passed in the 90s but what the hey.

yes and yes

"sorry you are 20 years too late with yr business idea: application denied"

also the lous part makes me think of louse/lice

shabbylice

lol is there any other kind of louse?

slang for loser-type person in Australia

lols at fun bags

what about the fried chicken place called hitler

omg this pizza place near a friend's holiday house that we ate at like a decade and a half ago and was actually really bad pizza (as in, not bad but still good, not bad but edible, but bad *bad* bad)

Anyway it has since changed it's name and is now called 'Pizza D'oh'

http://www.pizzadoh.com.au/

Yes like in the Simpsons. apparently the sign outside is also in the same (or similar enough) font also.

Why the fuck would you do this? There are no other Simpsons references about it, so all that's left is that "D'oh" sounds like 'dough', and 'Pizza Dough' is a shit name for a pizza place.

Maybe they're trying to suggest that they're aware of how horribly they've screwed up their pizza.

i occasionally pass a pet groomer named DOGGIE STYLES and i wonder if they know

i mean, someone has to have told them by now. do they care?

meanwhile i take my dog to a groomer called DOGGY DO'S which is only marginally "better" and almost certainly intentional

Teaffee is a family owned business founded by David Fernandez.

So where did David get the idea for Teaffee?

One day David was having dinner with his family when a waitress mistakenly refilled his tea with coffee

David had one sip and Eureka!

Teaffee was born.

The special drink of the place is the 'teafee', a blend of tea and coffee concentrate. It's actually quite good.
