Douchebags, Sluts & Boners: The Origins Of Some Of The Most Well-Known Slang Words & Insults.

- Boner. It hasn't always referred to a penis, you know. In fact, in the early '80s, there was a sitcom character named Boner, that had absolutely nothing to do with erections. But for those of us born in the '90s, the term will likely be linked to hard ons.

There are quite a few words like this -- words that may have started out innocently enough but are now "not-ready-for-prime-time" terms. We thought it'd be interesting to explore where words like douchebag, twat and cunt came from. It's not always where you'd think!

9 Of The Worst Product Names Ever.

They called it what?

Getting consumers to pluck a product off the shelf is a tough task on its own. Convincing them to take a chance on a product with a name that makes them recoil in horror is an exercise in masochism.

Companies are obsessed with "trial" -- the moment in which a consumer is so swayed by marketing, packaging or product claims that they drop their guard and try something new. It's the reason Costco(COST) is littered with sampling stations, 7-Eleven is rife with colorful point-of-sale displays andNetflix (NFLX) offers the first month for free.

But even Netflix couldn't convince customers to buy into a DVD-by-mail product called Qwikster. Not only did it sound dumb -- and co-opt that "-ster" suffix that Napster considered edgy 14 years ago -- but it was selling users a service they were already paying for at a higher price through a proposed splinter company they had no experience with. The name was the least of that idea's problems, but it didn't help.

Still, Netflix got off lightly. Other companies have been subjected to ridicule or worse for their unfortunate or downright offensive product names. Here are nine examples of names that not only don't sell items, but send consumers laughing or running in the other direction.

Rant: Cell Phones.

High, so you know what I don't understand? Cell phones. I don't understand how so many people have them & I don't. I mean there is a phone that I can use but it is a cheap Motorola tracphone (like who uses tracphone?) I feel like I am not apart of this elite club of cell phone owners (not like I'm ant-cell phone or anything) Like I really care, but I rely don't have a use for one. Like who am I going to call? I only know people that I know of are my 2 close friends & 2 family members. Besides I really don't want the hassle of a plan anyway with it being so expensive. And what is with these places that do not allow cell phones? When I was is secondary school there was a no phone policy & that did not stop people from texting on there phones. If you got cough your phone would be taken away & you would have to beg for it back. Most schools do not even allow cell phones, like wtf are you insane? That goes with businesses as well (at least where I'm from) Like just today at my job I was minding my own beans while out of nowhere  my cell phone rang. I was not aware the first time that my phone went off but it was indeed me. I answered it then hung up. My co worker got stern & told me that cell phones are not allowed & are to be kept at your locker. Like nobody fucking told me that I could not have a cell phone with me. I explained that I mainly use my phone as a watch for mainly to keep track of time if I'm outside working. The person told me that there was a phone inside I could look to to keep time like okay thanks for telling me now! Honestly if you have a fucking problem with cell phones go fuck yourself seriously if they are such a huge problem why not ban them? Let's get the federal government to install a union wide cell phone ban. Would that make a difference? Would there be world peace? I'm not going to hold my breath. Oh & if you are in any way offended with me using a cell phone for whatever reason I really don't give a flying fuck, I will use my damn phone when I want! So ja that is about all for my bizarre rant until next post; thanks for reading.
