    Not sure there's much we can do about it. Strange that, as communication becomes more written (for the moment anyway), it becomes less literate at the same time. 'The future is certain, give us time to work it out', or something. I currently have a cat at my feet hassling to go out, he understands that last sentence. Strange times. Just getting old, I guess. Rage against the dying and all that.

    1. Replace Puma with Pi, in the tradition of ghetto slang for quality products. Or maybe Pumi, for consistency's sake? Not sure yet, but thankful for suggestions.
    2. Replace all instances of Coti, Thurri, Nani, Coti, Filli with "Yo Mama!"
    3. Ensure complete consistency across all shaving related products by ghettoising them, too.
      1. Dovi
      2. Böki
      3. Zwilli

    4. Also managed to identify some problem cases. Still looking for sensible solutions:
      1. Wadi or Butchi?
      2. Thiersi, or Ti?
      3. Eki or Tuni?

    5. Lacking proper sociolectal background, but shouldn't that be Thuri and Fili? Or are violations of grammar required to ensure authenticity (or "honester credibility" as I prefer to call it for lack of a better epithet).

    Thanks for your input, gentlemen,
    BeBi
    My votes:

    Pumi, Thuri, Fili, Butchi, Issi(?), and Tuni. Conversely I'd go with the double letters for "Yo Mamma!"

    On a bizarre tangent, your signature reminded me of Bébé's Kids which was created by a comedian named Robin.

    I think Filly would be more fitting, though: Filly Fairy.

    Isn't Filly Fairy the antropomorphic personification goes around waving a chorizo sausage disguised as a magic wand? It goes pling and a new batch of Fillies pop up in ebay and the price shoots through the roof. In its spare time it hyphotises people with shiny objects and collects milkbottles (even antropomi.. Atmop.. Amtrop..... those things need hobbies).
