How do your customers spell "coroplast"?

[GoodPeopleFlags]

We have one regular customer that has spelled it "chloroplast" for years.

Another one today asked for "cor plastie"

Hee! Anyone got any other good ones?

 

[TheSnowman]

Spell it? They can't even pronounce it let alone know what it is. I got caroboard, poster board, ribbed stuff, plasticky, and "ya know that stuff".

 

[omgsideburns]

we hear "waffle board" a lot.. i don't even know where they get that from.

Isn't chloroplast an algae?

 

[CanuckSigns]

Customer: Just use that corrugated plastic stuff, what's it called?
Me: Coroplast
Customer: right, now I feel dumb lol!

"that stuff for inside hampster cages"

god, I don't know where that started but we get those calls all the time. We have a bin of scraps that we just give these hamster freaks, that's our way of recycling. I want to charge them but they're all so freaking weird I don't want them hanging around my shop any longer than necessary...

Ha, just had one of those calls this morning.

Had an employee once that pronounced and spelled it "corplass". It irritated the shite outta me.

There's a highly ranked website for making your own hamster/guinea pig cages out of coro. Hence all the calls. We sell them whole sheets, thanks for the markup, next!

Here we have gerblers. Something about a running start.

I prefer the British term "correx"
But I have customers call it all kinds of stuff. Corplast that plastic cardboard stuff corroboard plasticore.
And yes I get the hamster freaks too.
I get so sick of people calling asking if I do vinyl signs, I say yes I do vinyl lettering but they say "no I want the vinyl signs" then I don't know whether they want a banner or a corosign or what.
Love....Jill

Just had someone stop in 5 minutes ago..."Can I get some of those plastic things like out front? And how much?"

[oldgoatroper]

If someone wanted to dig through my email archives, you could find dozens of different spellings...

If I had known years ago someone would have started a thread about this, I would have been collecting all the variants just for this occasion...
