I saw something the other day that referred to Harbor Freight tools as "horror freight" which felt like a lame stretch, but it reminded me of people calling K-Mart "came apart" which for some reason always made me lose my shit.

A friend of mine used to call Wachovia "Walk-All-Over-Ya," I always liked that. I don't think she had any particular beef with the bank, she just liked the idea of having a derogatory nickname for it.
