I feel the need to inform you that my garbage disposal's brand name is Insinkerator

PhD student: "I have a story like that where I had to call the landlord to get the... oh I can never remember what it's called... Nsyncenator?"

The rest of us: "What?"

"Insinkerator"

*blank stares" finally someone pipes up: "garbage disposal?"

"Yeah! You know, I always call it that when I forget the real word because everyone can always figure out what it is"

All of us realizing that her word is way better than garbage disposal:"in-sink-erator"

Like. What. It sounds so dumb but it makes so much sense linguistically. It's in the sink. But also. It sound alike incinerator which has a similar purpose. It's just a better word.
