Have you ever had that moment mid-conversation when you are trying to explain something but can't think of the word? Have you ever gotten so frustrated by it that you considered all of the ways this situation could be avoided? If things just had more logical names, they wouldn't be so hard to remember. You know what I mean? Now, I know there are several threads out on the Internet about this topic. The following name changes, however, are ones that I have personally wished for in my life — whether it be for convenience in remembering or for pure entertainment. So, without further ado, here are 17 things that could have had better names.

1. Frogs: Ribbit lizards

2. Breakfast burritos: Egg envelopes

3. Glue: Sticky milk

4. Zebras: Horse criminals

5. Lips: Smoocher flaps

6. Hippos: Leather bears

7. Socks: Feet huggers

8. Ducks: Quack chickens

9. Napkins: Face mops

10. Snake: Nope rope

11. Sheep: Wool cow

12. Toaster: Bread smoocher

13. Neck: Head-estals ... you know. Like a pedestal. For your head.

14. Pants: Leg jackets

15. Kettle: Water whistler

16. Worms: Friendly noodles


17. Sloths: Exhausted college students


Now, I know we have all frequently forgotten the name for "duck" and "sock," but hopefully these helpful name alternatives will help avoid future embararassing situations.
