I don’t mean to hurt anyone’s feelings, but the only people who call them “Legos” are communists and thieves. They’re “Lego pieces” or “Lego blocks” or “pieces of Lego” or “Lego parts” or, if you really know what you’re talking about, simply “Lego,” as in “look at all that Lego.” Using the word “Legos” demonstrates that you are a worthless philistine.

But again, no offense intended! Thanks for listening. Remember
