Rims vs Wheels
 
I just wanna throw this out there. The fast and the furious is over. It's 2012.

Toilets have rims, cars have wheels. Use the right term, spare yourself the eye rolls you're gonna get.

Edit: Since the tongue-in-cheek wasn't apparent enough in using the term "toilet" in the post as well as The Fast and the Furious...

I just want to throw this out there, for you.

There's different words for things. Slang exists. It's not really confusing. Use discretion and spare us having to scroll through useless threads like this.

A snarky facebook status would have sufficed for this one.

Sincerely,

A guy who says "wheels" and not "rims" but isn't offended.

The post is satire on the slang term... I asked Ichi to move this to the Off Topic section, which he did. My fault for putting it in the wheels section.

I say 'poop' instead of 'feces' or 'excrement'... don't get mad

At work we just say "I'm going to take a (insert co-workers last name)":bellyroll:

It works better with some names more than others.

I was selling some wheels on Craigslist a while back and a guy emailed me saying, "Your title of 'Wheels for Sale,' is misleading because they're just rims. Wheels are rims&tires together. You should change your title." It was a level of "Wut?" that was hardly comprehensible.

It's annoying, but oh well, people are ignorant. Annoys me when people say "tints" too.

That would have been quite the touche-moment.
