I like this one. The memes coming out of his Nazi salute were pretty good.
X = xitter, said “shitter”
I say Twitter because Elon deadnames his children so I will deadname his platform.
Someone is trying to take over the twitter name to start a new platform: https://www.twitter.new/
I want to see Elon lose the Twitter name and be stuck with X. It's going to be so much fun watching that happen.
Oh, I use "Twatter".
It has been the toiletbowl of the world for years. Never was a "townsquare".

The classic Ford -> Fix Or Repair Daily
My favorite is
Found
On
Road
Dead
Fucked
Over
Rebuilt
Dodge
Whole foods -> Whole paycheck
We used to call it whole booze. Because for some foolish reason, the one in our colege town used to put giant displays of wine (like a full wall of cases of the cheap stuff) in the automatic door vestibule.
So it was pretty common to see a car zoom up, and a couple kids jump out, grab a couple cases and then peel out driving off.
Bookface. It's not even that clever it just stuck with me for some random ass reason.
Fascists
Which company or product are you referring to?
that would be a long list
I found some for Apple. They aren't all "pejorative" but still
- Fruit Company (or Fruit Store)
- i.... --> iSheep, iOverprice, iGreed, iLies, iRot
- Apfel von Braun (Apple sucks up to fascists and authoritarians, Hiterl's wife was Eva Braun, Apfel = Apple in German)
- Malus - Latin name for Apple
Kemically Fried Children
Dead Lobster
Pizza Slut
Windoze
Pizza Slut actually sounds like a friendly nickname.
Could be name of a dang good pizza place actually.
I'd eat that triangle. :P
Lol a trucking company I worked for in high school was called "Cheezik Transport" or something like that but all the workers called it "Cheese Dick"
Windows, with it's numerable AI and cloud integrations, has morphed itself into a "Sloperating System" and I refuse to call it anything else.
Idk about pejorative but I call TikTok reels "tiktokies". Kinda makes them sound a little silly which is what I'm usually going for, lol.
Still refer to stop and shop as stop and pee sometimes. Its a callback to an old joke from when I was little. The joke was that the 2 grocery stores in town, stop & shop, and A&P were going to merge.
For years my grub entry read rWindows, it doesn't make sense in English, but "Ruim" is portuguese for bad, so it sounds similar to badows.

Not companies, but "N*STINK, Backstreet Girls, and 98 Disease" lives rent free in my brain.
Please tell me that the Backstreet Girls exist now as a badass parody/cover band.
If Wikipedia is to be believed, the Backstreet Girls are a Norwegian rock band formed in 1984. Which means they predate the Backstreet Boys by a long time.
But I have to take Wikipedia at its word, since most sources are in Norwegian.
Microsoft -> Mrkvošrot (slovakian for "carrot scrap")
