Things you refuse to call by their new name

Histo
History & Heritage? I have none regarding the borough of Trafford.

I was meaning the NHS, Government Inc. Local. Trafford General is just swallowing up something we should be so proud of. The FIRST NHS hospital.

Not a new name thing, but I refuse to say skinny when ordering a coffee with skimmed milk.
Just being petty I suppose.
I say "skimmed milk latte please", they say "skinny latte yeah" and I say "yeah skimmed milk latte mate"

I refuse to say Americano. Its a black coffee end of.

I'm the same. Just for some reason hate the name Czechia and never use it. None of my Czech friends use it either, though perhaps the younger generations do.

Your Czech mate?

No no no, Park Hospital was the very first NHS hospital in the UK. It looked after me many times as kid when I split my head open.
It's now Trafford General Hospital. Talk about forgetting your history and heritage.

Didn't it become Davyhulme Hospital in between Park and Trafford?

Why do you have to be so awkward and obstinate, the marketing guys spent forever and came up with a sexy, mysterious and exotic name and can you use it?
No of course not, let's just all be Victor Meldrew eh..
