It became trendy around here a few years back to have "Pountineries" Of course these places had menus that consisted of "Smoked meat poutine", "Shwarma Poutine", etc. The problem was anytime you ordered a "classic" You found out very quickly they couldn't make a decent poutine and were leaning on their gimmicky toppings.

Reminds me of many breweries serving tons of flavored beer and long IPA.
All I want is a classic American lager or lighter ale on hot Texas day. You then get one and realize their normal beer tastes bad and they add all the fruit to hide it.

In western Pennsylvania people call a vacuum cleaner a "sweeper".

In England the verb for "vacuum" is "hoover", so they'll say "I need to hoover the carpet."

Both equally retarded.

You can't kill the fucking things. I tried to kill the one my ex wife's dead drunk mother got us. I couldn't. I ended up just throwing it away.

A better argument would be asking me the word I use for a plastic adhesive bandage and then telling me I can't nitpick when it comes to using brands as generic terms.
