We give names to things around us almost all the time in a way that is totally random. The word cat, for instance, has no clue in itself that can help us guess what it refers to. But what if we took the task of naming things in such a way that you could guess almost accurately what they refer to merely by the combination of the words involved. As a funny attempt at this, Twitter user @CorrectNames rethought the names of 45 everyday things and man are they accurate! Please scroll through them and let us know what you think.

As an amateur linguist, I have found some of your observations quite interesting, informative and often amusing. You are definitely “srcaping the barrel” with this one; sorry.
