We aren’t getting any more Parks and Recreation (bye bye, Lil’ Sebastian), but why stop giving new names to things? @CorrectNames was conceived by 19-year-old Mark Dempsey from Manchester, England.

He told US Weekly, “I was talking to my mum and I forgot the name of an object I was trying to identify for her,” he continued, “I still can’t remember the object but all the various other names I came up with were quite amusing.”
The Twitter account has renamed nearly two hundred common things since this past April. Some of the new “correct names” were dash clever:
