Today, I was warning a girl in my art class to be careful with a Stanley knife, as she had managed to cut her finger quite badly. Just as I said it, I sliced my finger open with a Stanley knife. FML

You deserved it

Well, warning her after the fact was redundant to begin with. You still don't deserve it - nobody does. Ouch!!

^This is what we call a brandnomer (a genericized trademark)This happens when a brand name product becomes a colloquialism and is synonymous with a type of product.

Some common brandnomers are Kleenex (facial tissue), Popsicle (ice pops), Band-aid (adhesive bandage), Jell-o (gelatin desserts), Bubble Wrap (inflated cushioning), Clorox (Bleach), Photoshop (photo manipulation), Rollerblade (inline skates) U-Haul (box truck), Crock-Pot (slow cooker), AstroTurf (artificial turf), etc.

*rainbow appears* - The more you know...

Well the girl had already cut herself, so it was a reminder to be extra safe

This sounds like an ad for Stanley.... Was the company really important?

It's just what we call them in Australia, even if they're of another brand.

22 - you totally forgot all about the phrase "Kodak Moment" to describe something that's picture perfect!

#22 Also the phrase 'to Hoover the floor' meaning to vacuum it regardless of whether your using a Hoover or not.

SandI was obviously listing just a few examples. My dissertation was long enoug as is. There are thousands of these, but I do not possess the time to type all of them... Nor do I care, really.

Stanley? I prefer Martha Stewart, cause there plagiarized and when it comes down to it there blunt.

Stanley knives to an Aussie is what an Xacto knife is to an American... Hoping this helps some in understanding.

Stanley knives are really easy to get injured with, especially if you're not paying attention (or getting distracted with the art project). FYL OP, watch out for those things instead of telling others to.
