My 84 year old Granduncle calls a c0ndominium, a c0ndom.
Granduncle: They are going to build a c0ndom there ah!
lancerlady and I laughed as we were walking to the lift. Mind you, my Granduncle is nearly deaf. So when he speaks, he shouts. This is not the first time he mentioned c0ndom. I had tried to correct him previously to inform him that c0ndo is short for c0ndominium.
lancerlord: C0ndo! Not c0ndom.
Granduncle: C0ndom lah!
lancerlord: No! Connnnnn-Dohhhhhhh...
*Granduncle raising his voice*
Granduncle: Ya. C0ndom!
To spare us further embarassment, we did not bother to correct him this time. Cannot blame him. There were no c0ndominiums and c0ndoms during his time.
