I mean microslop is pretty dang good
Less good but also M$
Micro$lop

I bet they wish people had stuck with "Micro$oft"
I usually call them Microshaft
There's a gas station chain called Kum & Go but it's also referred to as Jizz and Jet or Ejaculate and Evacuate.
Skeet & Yeet
Bust & Bounce
Nut & Bolt
Nut and Bolt is fucking great!
Nut & Bolt is getting added to the repertoire. Something about how the double meaning relies on changing them from two nouns to two verbs tickles something.
With a name like that you could say they were screwed from the start.
There could be a whole thread just on the variations of that concept, but the most obvious for a gas station has to be "Pump and Dump"
Swasticar
And their premier vehicle, the CyberStuck
I have a queer friend that calls his GMC Yukon his Gay Man's Chariot. When we go places in it he usually initiates by saying something like "to the chariot"
That is both awesome and the best acronym for GMC I’ve heard. The best one I’d previously hears was Get My Chequebook.
When I had a Samsung TV, I hated it intensely and printed a label that said "scamsung." That TV eventually went to the recyclers with that label still covering the Samsung one.
McDonalds→McDicks→McPenis. I'm mature.
Found On Road Dead
Just Empty Every Pocket
Fix It Again Tony
I prefer "Find Immediate Alternative Transportation"
And wanted to add "Acutely Unreliable Despite Investment"
I prefer "Find Immediate Alternative Transportation"
I haven't heard that one before! That's good!
Drips Oil Dirt & Grime Everwhere (or everyday)
Ive heard Fix Or Repair Daily
The American embassy for McDonalds
There’s a trucking company called Swift that gets a lot of flak for hiring inexperienced drivers. One of the nicer ones is So What I Failed Training. The rudest one I’ve heard ends with Toddlers, you can probably work out the rest, but you probably shouldn’t.
Stevie Wonder Institute For Trucking is my personal favorite
See What I Fucked-up Today is another good one
"Home Despot" is one of my favs from Joey Santore of crime pays but botany doesn't.
I've heard "Home Desparate" before
Nintendon't on account of their rabid intellectual property protection and litigious nature.
Works as both what they might say to would-be infringers as well as advice to avoid them. (Which people ignore because Zelda, Mario and childhood memories.)
Sega started that. “Sega does what Nintendon’t.” Going back to the 80s. Maybe 90s.
Always remember that Microsoft literally means small and limp.
Ford = Found On Road Dead
Dodge (n.) - To avoid
And, Fix It Again, Tony.
Samsung --> Samsucks
PlayStation --> PayStation (Not a company name, but relevant enough)
Edit: more names I came up with (I don't use all of these but they are reserved in case I have to):
Roblox --> Blowblox
Discord --> Disscord
Apple --> Crapple
McDonald's --> FakeDonald's
Dunkin --> Bunkin
Sam's Club --> Scam's Club
Fiat: Fix It Again Tomorrow, Lotus: Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious
Food court near me named Choices gets called "Chances".
Pontiac stands for Poor Old Neanderthal Thinks It's A Cadillac.
When I grew up it wasn't neanderthal 🫤
Cock-a-Cola
Pisspi
Dr. Pecker
Shitzza Hut
Little Weiners
Mountain DooDoo
Ball-Mart
Worst Buy
Shams Club
Panda Sex Press
Sub-standard Way
Pizza Slut for Pizza Hut
Some friendlier ones. There was once an expensive camera brand called "Exakta" but Exakta owners affectionately called them "Approxima".
I worked near a slightly fancy Chinese restaurant called Royal East but my coworkers (who went there often) liked to call it "Royal Eats".
There was a nearby supermarket called Purity Supreme but people called it Poverty Supreme. That was waaaay before Whole Foods.
Amherst, Massachusetts was sometimes anagrammed to "Hamster". I mean you could address letters that way and they'd get there.
McDoogles and Brogger Krog for mcds and burger king. Not sure why..
Delta
Don’t Expect Luggage To Arrive
-or-
Doesn’t Ever Leave The Airport
Accidenture.
Idiots Become Managers
Broadcum
But I've also just seen IBM and broadcom be used a verb for price hikes or rug pulls.
I still call it reddit. It is already the name of a joke of a corporation.
In our household McDonald's is nearly universally McZargald's, based on the Calvin and Hobbes strip. They're not much good for anything except a reliable place to stop and take a leak when you're on the hyperspace bypass anyway.
Similarly, I don't think anyone in my circle has referred to that Baja Blast, chalupa, and fried chicken establishment as anything other than "Cluckin' Bell" for several decades thanks to the early 3D GTA games.
Before they became Microslop, they were Micro$haft in the IT world. The double entendre is self explanatory.
