To not shop somewhere because of the shop name?

[Allabouts]

Picture attached.

I was passing on my way to an event with my DS this morning and saw this.

I wouldn't step foot in there with a name like that!

Do people not think these things through?

A sandwich shop opened in my neighbourhood with the name Deli Bellyz.

SO MUCH WRONGNESS.

Fat Willys is a shop in Cornwall
BUM equipment make clothes in Australia.

My mum and I were discussing the weird brand name in Fat Face once. The assistant heard us and came over to explain its 'Fat' as in epic/awesome and 'Face' for the face of a mountain.

Still, weird.

And I wouldn't touch that bed shop with a bargepole no matter what it was called!

I know a hairdressers called...

Kurl up and Dye

I shop in FatFace, the name suggests it was meant for me.

I remember years ago I used to be quite embarrassed about Virgin stores.

I would never in a million years set foot in, or buy anything in FatFace. Such a horrid name. Fortunately for me, the clothes they sell do not appeal to me at all.

Sweaty Betty - It just sounds very grim.

There used to be a clothes shop in a town near to where I grew up, called Super Tramp. Such a vile name. I know there was a band with the same name, but please, you do not want your clothing associated with being a tramp (in the UK or US interpretation).

Fat Boys - This is the name of a Thai restaurant near to where I live. The food may be delicious, but I just won’t eat there.

Dirty Burger - no, just no.

I was visiting Paris when I was 15, and our coach passed a shop called ‘Wanks @ dot fone.’ We were all so busy staring at the name to check we’d read it right, that we didn’t notice what type of shop it was. I don’t think I want to know!

I'm not too keen on the name Shaken Udder milk shakes, they taste nice though

Gosh, I really want a baked potato now.

What does the shop sell OP?

'Fat' as in epic/awesome and 'Face' for the face of a mountain.

Shouldn't that be Phat then?

Somehow I cope with that - I used to go to breakfast at a place called.. Phat something.. in Vancouver when I lived there, and I didn't mind.

What about the shop CEX, is it pronounced SEX.

*I've always called it KEX

There is a Spud U Like in.a shopping centre in Cardiff.
There is a restaurant near us called Bullies.
Neither I or DH will eat in there.

What about the shop CEX, is it pronounced SEX

I've always just spelled it..

Also, SuperDry. It sounds like an incontinence brand.

Bench - just stupid.

I’ve just looked through and noticed some that I’d forgotten about:

Definitely agree with Fat Willys. People in my area used to have car stickers with this emblazoned on - it really confused me as a little girl.

Virgin - I used to be too embarrassed to set foot in there as a teenager.

I think it’s very strange to not go into a shop because of the name. Especially Fat Face. Fat is not a bad word. It’s not making fun of fat people.

I also hate "dirty" for food, it just makes me think of mud and floor scrapings. I saw a "dirty fries" ready meal in M&S the other day and it was so wrong! M&S should not be associated with dirty fries!

For some inexplicable reason I snigger whenever I pass 'Fat Willy's'...conceited shop owner...

It's not that "fat" is a bad word, it's more that it somehow makes me feel like they're telling me their clothes will make me look like i have a fat face.

Is this shop in Bethnal Green? I bought a bed in there years ago! I quite like the name, actually. Makes me giggle!

I won't go anywhere with fat or greedy as part of the name because I'm fat. So Fatsos - no, Greedy Pigs - no, Fatface - no. Also definitely nowhere that spells their name incorrectly.

In Johannesburg there is a large shop in an upmarket shopping mall called CUM books.

It actually means Christian United Ministries and sells bibles and related religious material.

We see stormtroopers regularly in Scarborough, quite often waving from the top deck or our seafront open-topped buses. There's a group of them tour holiday resorts and events raising money for charity.

Buster72 Someone should tell them. I nominate you.

This is why I've never ordered a fillet-o-fish. I hate the name. What the fuck is the 'o' doing?! Is It a big 'oh' or a little 'o' as in time o' day? Do we pronounce the T in fillet or are we being French?

Is it:
Filleh OH fish
Filleh o' fish
Fillitohfish
Fillit o' fish

Forget it. Fucking Big Mac thanks.

I know of an animal shelter place called Happy Endings. Wrong on several counts......
