Manisnowba

Slang for the province of Manitoba, Canada. A portmanteau of 'Manitoba' and 'snow', as Manitoba has a reputation for long, cold winters (as do the other Prairie provinces). Often heard together with 'Winterpeg', the slang word for its capital city (Winnipeg).
A: Where are you from?
B: Winnipeg, Manitoba.
A: Oh, Winterpeg Manisnowba? Cold enough for ya there?

genericide

A unique marketing predicament where a particular brand of a product becomes so common or dominant, its brand name becomes the generic term for the entire product category. Examples include Kleenex, Vaseline, Xerox, Windex and WD-40. Some trademarks have actually lost their legal protection in the U.S, including Aspirin, Thermos and zipper.
#1: "Hand me a Kleenex, would you please? I'm all stuffed up."

#2: "These are Puffs. Shouldn't you say 'facial tissue'?"

#1: "I just say Kleenex for all of them. The brand has committed genericide. Now just give me the damn Kleenex already, my nose is dripping!"
