I figure that since my friends and I do this so often, a lot of other people must do it too.
You take an airline like Southwest and rename it Southworst.
Or a restaurant or fast food place: Taco Bell becomes Taco Hell or Taco Smell, Acapulco becomes Acapuke-oh, etc.
Or take a store and French-ify its name: JC Penney becomes Jacques C. Pegne, while Target becomes Tarzhet. (Or change it some other way.)
I have always called K-Mart Scuz-Mart. A local chain of stores called Fred Meyer is simply known as Freddies. Other include Jack Off in the Box, Dairy Queer, Booger King, Wadmart, and Ballgreens. Mention eating at Taco Time and everyone in the family tells you the time. And chicken breasts are always called chicken boobs. My wife once ordered a chicken boob sandwich once. The blank look on the gal taking the order was priceless. Then she turned and looked at the menu board and realized what my wife wanted. Then she snorted and started laughing. The fall down, hold your sides, snorting, farting all at the same time laughing. The manager was ready to fire her till we explained why. His shorts must have been too tight, he did not think it was funny and told us so.
When my sons were younger, I remember calling my husband at work and discussing the fact that I was thinking about taking the kids to Chuck E. Cheese’s. Since it wasn’t a done deal yet, and I wanted to leave myself to option to back out, I referred to it in code:
Mc Donald’s Becomes Mac Nasty’s
Burger King becomes Booger Fling Home of the Flopper
Wendy’s becomesWenchie’s The Hot & Jucy slogan stands alone
Pizza Hut becomes Piazza Slut So named after the Yanks/Mets sreies a few years ago.
Little Ceaser’ is too easily made into Little Sleazers
Wall Mart is ** Wally World{/B]
and do remember…The big K in K-Mart stands for Kwality!:wally

There’s also a midwestern chain of big hardware stores, called Menards (meh nards) which we called (may nerds). I once brought this up in a car while riding with my one true love; the deathly silence after my lame attempt at humor was disheartening. I’m still convinced that she wouldn’t have gone out with me because of it, so not asking her wasn’t a mistake… my brain digs both up and taunts me any time I’m particularly happy.
There were other stupidonyms, but now that you’ve made me dredge up this horrible memory, I can’t remember them. Thanks a lot.:mad:
