the transformation of words	by stoft	2006-09-14 06:32:37
Invented brand/product names have a tendency to become a part of the vernacular: - Sony Walkman -> walkman - TeVa flip flops -> teva's Whereas brand/product names taken from the vernacular have a tendency to disappear from the same vernacular. Unfortunately I can't think of any examples in English right now (Swedish e.g. Lätt & Lagom). In other words, we can always hope that the word pimp actually disappears from the vernacular as it gains popularity as a brand.
