there must be a print shop called “Ampersands & Fancy Fonts”, but I haven’t found it yet, so this will have to do for now:

My wife and I used to have a running joke about "ampersand stores"/"ampersand restaurants." Whenever your neighborhood gets an ampersand store or ampersand restaurant, you know you've made it. Even better if they are two seemingly unrelated objects, as opposed to names, like "Forge & Canvas" or "Glass & Eagle"

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Wednesday, 30 November 2022 20:16 (three years ago)

for a while it looked like "+" might have been displacing "&" but I think "&" retains supremacy. Whereas " 'n' " has a different class connotation.

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Wednesday, 30 November 2022 20:19 (three years ago)

Ampersand manages to seem both classy and nominally hip.

ilx user ian informs me that this two-noun construct was originally used in the early days of pubs, where they would put easily identifiable images on the sign b/c most people couldn't read (i.e. pig and cow, hammer and anvil, whatever)

(citation needed!)

ILX is like synthpop Kerrang (sleeve), Wednesday, 11 February 2026 03:59 (two months ago)

Now it's back in fashion because lots of people can't read again

Josefa, Wednesday, 11 February 2026 04:16 (two months ago)

I suppose we don't always get the images anymore, but we'll probably be seeing more of them

Josefa, Wednesday, 11 February 2026 04:23 (two months ago)

originally used in the early days of pubs, where they would put easily identifiable images on the sign b/c most people couldn't read (i.e. pig and cow, hammer and anvil, whatever)
But this applies also for just as many pubs that are named with single nouns.

i mean, i think in the way it signals "we are trading goods on a more essential and socially good level" it was a new boost for small business and people with small business dreams. but maybe it got a little corny ;). still i would totally go into a store called "satchel & page" over barnes and noble or w/e. although there are a few good barnes and nobles in my area. tbh i could never run a small business, way too fucking hard, and i admire people who do it well and do it interestingly.

There's a tiktok account called "Thing and Thing" that gives the name of a real business and challenges viewers to guess whether it's a bar/cafe, a tattoo parlor, or a salon. On the weekends it can be any kind of business. A bit pedestrian but cumulatively hilarious and I respect her dedication to the form.
