Diarrhea: Soupy Poopy.
- Gas: Pooty Booty
- I literally started chuckling alone in my parked car.
  
  Should I add parked car ? Not browsing while driving 💥 🚗
"Maybe baby" definitely needs to be a thing.
- It actually is, at least in Germany you can buy pregnany tests of a brand called "Maybe-baby".
  
  Does it also rhyme in German?
- It literally is
bites tongue

I GOTTA BE 'WELL ACTUALLY GUY'. I can't help it.

A defib would actually be the Hearty Less Retardy.

Edit: And if that offends you, sorry. But it's literally accurate.
- Instead of pedant maybe we can say (and I don't actually mean this as an insult)... picky pricky?
- bitey taster?
- Maybe... Hearty Re-Starty?
  
  Ticker Re-jigger?
  
  Pumper Bumper?
  
  Despite what happens in movies, defibrillators are used to stop arrhythmia and don't jump start hearts back up. Arhythmia is when the timing/pace is out of sync, which is also known as timing retardation. Although we usually use that term for engines, it's essentially the exact same thing.
Air conditioner: Freezy Breezy
- @threelonmusketeers @panchzila. Oven: heaty eaty
Traffic circles are "Twirly Whirlies"
- To non-Americans they’re already “roundabouts”, which is close enough already really
  
  Roundy abounty
  
  Americans mostly call them "oh, fuck? What do I do?" We have the best drivers.
Cats would be furry purries.
- Uno, dos, meow, meow, tres, cuatro!
  
  Pretty little kitty chased a thing she saw.
  
  Had a pouch of catnip and a feather boa
  
  Furry purry, furry purry.
There is one for bra that's close: over the shoulder boulder holder.
- When my son was really young he called them “boobie connectors“. XD
I had to really laugh at "screamy dreamy"
Where is that greentext when you need it?

With the british naming things?
All I can see is Law and Order.
- Chung-Chung!
  
  Dungie Chungie?
- I knew I couldn't be the only one who noticed the type face.
I'm actually ok with all of them.
This is actually a common pattern in urdu, though not for names.

Like "chai" means tea so :

"chai shai" = tea and related stuff

"khana wana" = food and related stuff

"paisay waisay" = money and related stuff

etc.
- it's the same in hindi.
I will be calling bumble bees fuzzy buzzys from now on. Thanks!
It comes from WWII soldier slang, so it's more like if US soldiers named everything.
What I took away from this is that we urgently need to find the person in question and let them name everything. Alternatively the person who came up with the names in the post.
Although a group of hippos is a 'bloat', hippos don't float. Surely a floatie bloatie is a life vest!
Seeing this meme always remind me that they decided to translate "walkie talkie" in French to "talkie walkie"... I mean... Why?
- Guessing adjective noun ordering? 🤓 idk
Lenny: Edit Reddit
feetie heatie actually sounds good
The sub's name just clicked for me. Lemme shitpost! Hah, that's brilliant
It's called German.
- I don't get it. Care to explain? :D
  
  The German language is known for having many compound nouns.
And if he named Teletubbies, we'd have...

Another point: why when shortened do they call them “walkies”? “You got your walkie on?” That’s the less description-of-use part of the name

This reminds me of Andy from The Office US.
But don't defibrillators do the opposite of starting the heart?
- I think the gist of it is that it alters the heart rhythm rather than starting and stopping it.
