Loki is back! ❤ 😢 Kleenex, anyone?
Показать описание
First, Season 2 of Loki is here! OMG, I’ve waited forever for it. Secondly, I learned something new about the word “jet ski”!
Jet Ski, Kleenex, Aspirin, Trampoline, Thermos… I didn’t realize how many product names are now used as generic terms. This word formation process is referred to as “deonyming” - when a common noun is derived or originating from a proper noun (different from “eponyming”).
