local businesses with horribly formed "names"

Lmao emil.y

Lol emil.y. And by the look of the shop, Kata's Trophies was *way* beyond them as a construction.

There's a brewery called Dynasty Brewing.

Their social media handle, however, is @brewdynasty.

I cannot stop reading it as "brew de nasty."

Your branding > theirs

I’m in Florida right now and just saw a portable toilet from a company named Knight Jon Boy

Wok This Way

San Antonio Tx

how is business name formed?

Saw this a couple of weeks ago. Not horribly formed so much as weirdly formed. A) doesn't need an adjective ii) why THAT adjective?

KJ was not available for comment.

there is a car-towing company named Tow Jam

KJ's Roomy Footwear: Blisteringly Low Prices!

“She is the founder of healthy cooking and recipe website Sunee, the co-founder of creative production agency House of Groms and co-host of podcast The Healthcode alongside her husband Tilse.”

I mean, roomy footwear is a good thing, as long as it's not too roomy.

I am told that there was an old woman who totally like LIVED in a shoe. I hope it was roomy.

It was pretty cramped until she beat her kids and sent them to bed.

Roomy *is* good, I guess, but there are a few things you want straight before *roomy* is a consideration.

can’t think of the best place for it, but this youtube video for a local punk record and clothing shop made me absolutely lose my fucking mind laughing

reminded me that I still need a vinyl copy of My War which is inexplicably expensive in the UK, damn you Ginnnnnnnn!

Talk about horribly formed!

Passed by a caribbean/jamaican outdoor food stall over the weekend: Jerkin' It

every other day I walk past this restaurant and think "fucking hell, don't call your restaurant that, have some self respect, jesus christ"

then just now looking for a picture I find that it's not a weird london business but a chain?! from los angeles?!

let's try that again

Yes, wildly popular here, but I think only a couple locations, which keeps the lines long.

In Brevard county, there's a public transportation company called Space Coast Area Transit.

But, as I learned this weekend, they're referred to everywhere by their acronym which is

I have the same feelings about Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

For a brief, but entertaining, time there was, up in Canada, the Conservative Reform Alliance Party ...

SCAT is a well-formed acronym for a transportation system because it means to go away quickly.

it also means

SKEDADDLE

Gonna start a restaurant called Mission of Shawarma. You could order a That's When I Reach for My Falafel with a side of Tahini Fight Song.

Instant Korma, Surrealistic Pilau etc

Gang of Flour

Boule in the Heather

Lol @ tabes

Bun-known Pleasures

Tom Tom Club Sandwich

This Yeast

This is an obscure one, but I furiously cackled when I saw a Sydney vegetarian restaurant called Lentil As Anything

Chai GPT, Hyderabad, India

Tropical fish store "The Wet Spot" in Portland.

Little Red Roaster

Midnightreats

Bugs me because you can read it as Midnigh Treats or Midnight Reats.

thinking maybe Cook Children's Healthcare System might have sought out a different naming convention.

esp given how many people that refer to it and leave off the 'apostrophe S'

(yes I'm aware Cook is the county)

I don't have a real-world example at hand, but I hate it when people can't come up with a company name and instead just cram the first few letters of the 2 founder's names together:

Davric Plumbing Supply
Robmar Consultants
