Are you good to call things by their new name?

freshpopcorn

I've always said Opal Fruits and not Starbursts, I'd still say Pound Shop.

However I've nearly always said Euro, Debenhams(When it was here).

Stuff like Facebook, Twitter, etc will always be the same to me.

Please don't derail the thread.

Gregor Samsa

I call things by what they’re called. I’m not sure if that makes me good or not, but it means that other people know what I’m talking about when I say things to them.

Jif. Tayto park. Don't see those ever changing in my head

Eir. 3Arena. Might as well keep up with the times or I'll never get credit and a taxi to the point will take forever

Debenhams in Galway will always be roches stores to me.

im slow to change and sometimes I do it out of nostalgia I think

agreed.

it may have a sponsor, but its location hasnt changed.

Why anyone who isn't being paid by the sponsor calls it by the sponsor's name beats me.

Statoil bought BP in 1992 or so, Esso still exists.

I remember when that housing estate was a field. Actually, I’ve decided. That’s not a housing estate, it’s still a field and I’m still going to call it a field and anyone who says they “live there” are actually homeless and don’t have houses at all.

I’m using cablelink to surf the World Wide Web.

gazebo......in reference to a structure built to employ the impoverished natives in the Great Famine. About the most significant phrase that the ring of kerry bus driver used with emphasis on the bus ride.

I was one of the youngest adults on the tour. 2003. I had the audacity to utter the phrase " folly " to the bus driver, and it was as if I swore out loud to him

Still use folly myself.

We've a housing estate in town and it would be one of the more well to do ones. It would have been built 99/00.

It was the dogtrack and is more commonly known as the dogtrack still.

I still say the dead house when talking about a funeral home.

Brian CivilEng

I watch The Simpsons on Sky One!

I'll still call it Twitter, X is a stupid name.

I'll call Turkey by its new name the minute they acknowledge they did a genocide.

I'll never acknowledge "product placement" names, so it'll be Lansdowne Road and the Point all the way.

Collie D

Lansdowne Road or the Aviva are interchangeable for me. Old stadium was a kip so I’ve no particular fondness or romantic memories of it, just a place I go to watch Ireland be shite.

I still go to the Point for gigs though.

'3Olympia' is my most hated one. Not for a ****.
