As a LEGO System bricks enjoyer, I also call them legos. When I need to blow my nose and the box is too far away, I ask someone to pass the kleenexes. If I have a headache, I ask for some asprins. I still watch movies on videotapes, and I own a few thermoses. I can’t wait to google some more genericized trademarks on Duck Duck Go after I finish typing this.
-I pick up a pail of water from the river-
“Look at all the rivers I have!”
-I pick up three intel CPUs-
“I have several Intels.”
-I hold up a radio-
“This bad boy can play so many Mariah Careys!”
-I open a box of chicken fingers-
“Do you want some chickens?”
-A single bolt falls out of my pocket-
“Oops, I dropped a car! Where did that come from?”
-I pull out my phone and look up where that type of bolt is used-
"Perhaps the internets can tell me where this goes. Maybe if I read some reddits or watch some youtubes I’ll know.
-After looking a while, I put away my phone-
“It doesn’t look like an engine, so it can’t be that important. I’m just going to go home and play nintendos. I hope I don’t slip on the snows!”
I don’t care if it’s a system. I grew up in the 1980s. If you have more than one, it’s Legos and the little people are Lego Men. Even the women. They’re Lady Lego Men.
Also, they are all supposed to have blank smiley faces. It all went downhill when they stopped having blank smiley faces.
We now have multiple lemmies discussing this. How many IKEAs do you have in your house?
How many Taco Bells have you eaten in the last month? I don’t care if it’s a restaurant, if you have more than one it’s Taco Bells.
Mostly agrees on the smilies though. Basic identifying features like masks or glasses can work, but expressions and likenesses to movies are harbingers of dooms. Just give me a guy, a few wheels, a few doors, and a few hundred bricks, slopes, and plates and I’ll be happys. I don’t need all the unique bits that only fit one way.
Dude, why do you care? It’s a giant corporation that only exists for you to shovel money at it. The whole ‘making kids happy’ concept ended when they started selling stuff for hundreds of dollars.
They don’t care about you, so maybe don’t care so much about them.
It’s not a problem unique to a dutch toy company, but that instance is by far the most common. Feel free to shit on companies as much as you want, but please don’t trample the English language as you do, it’s broken enough as it is.
One brick is one lego. More than one brick is multiple legos. I’m not going to call them LEGO™® Construction Tools or whatever the hell they expect me to call them now.
ASML shouldn’t have focused on Legos* in the first place. They clearly should have been making ASMR videos. ASML ASMR. It’s just so obvious.
*Bite me, they’re Legos.

I don’t bite clowns. It’s Lego.
How many bottles of Kragl do you own, President Business?

Bite my asses, LEGO is a system.

Call them lego, just like you call fish fillets “fish” and not “fishes”, or how you go to the mall despite there being multiple stores.
Or I’ll call them whatever I want and fuck corporations.
