Hi kids! It's time for the next installment of the Almanac of Failures. This time we go to Detroit. Imagine how many tries it took for them to come up with some of these car names. I want the ones people got fired for.
and you can add a slogan or a description of why it failed or both or even what consumer reports said about it.

Examples you say? Oh y'know like the Ford Probe! HAHAHA!!! Can you imagine if they called a car a PROBE? that would be hilari— (what's that?) uh... never mind.

The Dodge Draft
(Shared a slogan w Taco Bell- Make a run for the border!)

The Ford Excrement
(Runs on methane but don't get behind it in a traffic jam)

The Mitsubishi Itchipussi
(For the lonely housewife on the prowl)

The Toyota Beer Runner
(Off-road capable, cause you never know)

Give me your best flops!!!!

P.S. Sorry, I forgot to pick a BA on Dinoflops but for my money it was tied between Guinness, Wow, Randall & Stacey (who the voters picked). I promise I'll pick this time.
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!

Where did this saying come from and does it actually mean something other than the obvious?

1.The slang often creates a barrier. And here I'm talking about two different kinds: the first, I guess, would be just the idomatic expressions that are used, and of which new ones are made all the time (esp by young people). Those kinds of expressions are hard for even older native English speaking to keep up with!!
2.Then there are things like phrasal verbs (which, I'll call a kind of slang for argument's sake).
3.The idioms are insanely difficult for others to understand. ("Rains cats and dogs," "see the light," etc.)
4.Spellings in english is hard...because so many words have extra letters that you don't need...like through...psycology.The fact that the spelling is far from phonetic - the same combinations of letters can stand for totally different words, like the "ough" in "tough", "though", "drought", etc.

To make it easier for children, those who teach them should avoid using slang, idioms, and long words, try to see the situation from a child's point of view, and, to start with, get children to try to read short, simple pieces of writing such as nursery rhymes or poems, rather than whole books.
