AutoErotic

In case you haven’t been paying attention, I’ve been studying for the GRE recently, and one of the areas of study is vocabulary. While flipping through the pages of my 36 study guides, I realized that half the words in there were also car names. Then it hit me; that’s how they name cars. Just take the company (e.g., Ford) and then flip to a random page, and throw in a 5-dollar word (e.g., Seine- (n) a large net hung out and dragged in to catch fish); thus the 2010 Ford Seine is born! Go ahead and try it. You’ll quickly see that that’s exactly what they do.

Here are some other grrrrrreat examples:
  • "Come see the all-new, redesigned Dodge Insipid"
  • "FOR SALE: SLIGHTLY USED 1998 KIA NADIR"
  • "That girl with the deformed foot drives a Nissan Solipsism"
  • "A 2004 sea-foam green Chevy Fracas? What am I, a soccer mom?"

And don’t worry about using the correct part of speech; these words are so obscure you can just pretend everything is a noun! Go ahead, so go ahead- check out the new Daewoo Vituperate.
