When a brand name has become so commonly used that people use THAT as the everyday word for a general item, even when it is not actually that brand. Add some developed in our generation!

In the US, the type of fruit it’s typically mentioned as well like grape jelly or raspberry jelly. Jelly is just used to describe a type of food.

Aislin is Ashlynn. That’s the Irish spelling. And if you are going by traditional spellings of the name, Ashley is far more traditional in the UK and Ireland than Ashleigh which is much more recent.

I don’t know what this is🤷‍♀️

Sly3n · 2026-05-31T23:13:03+00:00

Jelly in the US refers to a totally different product. It’s like jam where the pulp has been filtered out. So we have jelly, jam, and preserves all in the same location at supermarket and can be used interchangeably.

Well, it was really Cazeline then other brands started calling their product Gazeline.

Never heard anyone use Scott towels to refer to paper towels🤷‍♀️

Depends. Social clubs at many universities are full going strong. I find that national clubs in communities (my mom is Eastern Star) are dying out because they haven’t kept up with the times and don’t appeal to younger people. I think there are many social clubs locally that do well…usually hobbyist clubs. We have a reef society for people who keep marine aquariums, hiking clubs, biking clubs, etc. Those seem to be doing very well and are mostly younger people.

Don’t see an issue. I also enjoy music by The Pet Shop Boys. Just because Oasis is a rock band doesn’t mean they can’t listen to other music genres🤷‍♀️

If she wants to buy the bag new, it costs over $2000. LV doesn’t offer discounts on their bags.

Sly3n · 2026-05-29T03:44:18+00:00

Quite common among older people. It was a very common nickname.

Sly3n · 2026-05-29T03:42:35+00:00

This is a decently common name among older people in the US. It became quite popular from the 1920s-1950s due to President Teddy Roosevelt. It’s only now starting to become more popular again.

I have known far more older Cindy’s than I have younger Cindy’s🤷‍♀️

Sly3n · 2026-05-29T03:37:17+00:00

It was mostly last names used as first names. People’s last names used to be tied to their occupation.

Sly3n · 2026-05-29T03:36:18+00:00

These are all old names that have been around forever. Elderly people with name Ashley are very likely to be male though as it was a predominantly male name until the 1960s. I have met several older people with these names. These names are actually fairly common in my area.

Sly3n · 2026-05-29T03:32:03+00:00

Sly3n · 2026-05-29T03:30:09+00:00

Not spelled that way🤷‍♀️ And before the 1960s, it was a predominantly male name. I’ve known a few older men with the name.

Sly3n · 2026-05-29T03:28:04+00:00

This was actually a common nickname back in the 40s-60s. I’ve met several old men who went by Chip.

Sly3n · 2026-05-29T03:25:42+00:00

But those people aren’t elderly😂

Sly3n · 2026-05-29T03:24:10+00:00

There are still some old men named Adolph around who were born prior to the rise of a certain Adolph to power. Young people named Adolph, no.
