Maybe its just me. Whenever I see the little car known as the Fit (by a car maker whose name rhymes with "Rhonda"), I cannot help but laugh.
You see, when I read the word Fit, I don't think of it in the senses of "appropriate for the circumstances" or "suiting the dimensions and shape of something". I mean, I do, but not when I see that word applied to car. When I see it capitalized and in a logo, my mind automatically leaps to the definition of fit as in "having a tantrum" or "a state of being characterized by involuntary spasms, tics or outbursts, and usually associated with extreme emotional upset".
So when I see the Fit on the roadways? I laugh, and I hope there won't be a fit. What about you?
My friends drives one. It's a decent little car. But since they have three kids, ages 2-9, "Fit" is an appropriate moniker for most things in their lives...
ReplyDeleteAnd if a fit should occur upon sighting of aforementioned car, I hope it is far away from you and your car
ReplyDeleteI just thought it was a dumb name for a car, but now that you've framed this in a new light for me, I'm going to be laughing. Waaay mo' better.
ReplyDeletehaven't noticed this car, but then again, i tend not to notice the make of a car, just its proximity to mine, sugar! ;) but i'll have to look for this one just so i can laugh! xoxoxo
