another word for fork
The term was invented in a conversation at Clinton Dining Hall at SUNY Plattsburgh about the arbitrary nature of an object's assigned word.
Dave- Why is a fork called a fork? Why isn't it called a stangle?
Justin- Uh, because it's a fork?
Dave- But it's so arbitrary. All right, from now on I'm going to refer to any fork as a stangle.
Justin- Dude, you're weird.
