Super weird one. Produce bags from the grocery store are called “gnome bags.”
Years ago, we found out that Walmart does not mind if you just take a whole roll of those bags. We use them instead of zip locks, sandwich baggies, Saran wrap, and dog poo bags. They became “gnome” bags because we had an old toilet paper roll holder in the shape of a gnome that we hung up to hold the roll of bags, and we all just started calling them gnome bags until it got to the point where we’ll occasionally say it in public accidently. Lol.
Oh, remembered another, too. To irritate people me and my brother both, whenever we hear someone arguing how to pronounce “gif,” we insist it should be pronounced Zsif. Like zsa zsa Gabor’s first name. If you’re familiar with Linux, there’s a thing about whether the DE gnome should be pronounced guh-nome or nome. I’ll pronounce it with a glottal stop at the beginning instead, and it drives people insane. (If you’re unfamiliar with glottal stop, think of the way some northern England accents pronounce the t in water. “wa?er”)
