Things that are mis-named.....eg not leaf blower.....should be leaf sucker

[CareBear50]

Exactly as in my title

Yabu - leaf blower is a totally appropriate name

Yanbu- the term 'leaf sucker' would make much more sense

Anyone else think if any more that make zero sense!?

But they don’t suck leaves, they blow them...

Hmmmmm my leaf blower is also a leaf sucker at the flick of a switch (misses the point of the thread...)

Blow job unless I’ve been doing it wrong!

What?

I’ve never seen a sucker... you mean like a vacuum cleaner for the outdoors?

It's a blower. Fucking pointless things.

@BobLemon yep. An outdoors vac.

I’m being educated on garden appliances!!

And @Thesearmsofmine 🤣🤣🤣🤣

But leaf blowers blow leaves...

A leaf blower is a leaf blower though

A trampoline should be a jumpoline 🤷‍♀️

Mine blows, sucks, chews em up and compacts them.
Allegedly, I can't remember the last time it was used.

Leaf blowers blow leaves into piles so you can pick them up with a fork. Some leaf blowers can be made to vacuum up leaves too. But mostly leaf blowers blow, so it is correctly named.

How odd - the only ones I've ever seen have blown the leaves (you direct them into a pile and sweep them up).

Blow job shock unless I’ve been doing it wrong!

Think you need to start a new thread for this

I've had a series of leaf blowers and they all vacuumed. I've never used the blow function on any of them.

Cupboard is neither a cup nor a board. I guess historically it began life as a board holding cups.

A leaf blower blows leaves.
A leave vacuum hoovers them up.

Granted there are some that do both but a leaf blower blows the leaves.

Trampoline comes from the Spanish word trampolin (diving board). Nb don’t use a trampoline for diving.

Near miss. I’ve never understood this as it usually means you nearly hit something?

Another here that's never seen a leaf blower that sucks. You could have used a better example, OP!

The term actually comes from victorian times and was known as a "below job " . True lol

Leaf blowers blow though.

The only leaf blower I'm familiar with is my one.....and it sucks......so thanks for the insight everyone!

It's one theory but not necessarily true, he etymology is unclear. There are references from the 17th century that indicated 'to blow' meant bringing someone to orgasm for example.

Working from home is totally miss named for me. I now sleep at work.

Are we talking leaf blower or blow job, now, Queef?
