    Like soap that you use for dishes?

  • Brovid HasselsmofBrovid Hasselsmof [Growling historic on the fury road] Registered User regular
    We don't really call it "doing the dishes" here

    Wikipedia suggests the correct term is detergent.

    It is, but that makes me think of laundry soap.

    Words are weird.

    Words are very
    Unnecessary

    But without words we would all be mimes

    No I did my American accent for you that was enough, no one did a British one in return.

    I was in an improv troupe for a while that did educational skits for kids, and one of my recurring roles was as the "Skit Policeman" who would intervene when things got too silly

    I've been told my British accent there was particularly impressive

  • WeaverWeaver Who are you? What do you want?Registered User regular
    Ok, I have detergent for laundry, clothing/bedding only. I have my shower stuff, which is obviously not the same as what is used on dishes. Dish soap is usually harsher and has grease dissolving agents. Some brands make a more gentle version so they can advertise it as "dual purpose-Also for hands!" but it will still dry your skin. It's for dirty dishes. It is dish soap.

  • WeaverWeaver Who are you? What do you want?Registered User regular
    I guess it's just referring to an item by the act it is used for, washing something, so washing up, against a naming convention that relies on the specific purpose of the soap type.

  • Brovid HasselsmofBrovid Hasselsmof [Growling historic on the fury road] Registered User regular
    I know what dish soap is. I am not arguing that dish soap is not a thing.

    You said the term washing up liquid "gets" you. I'm just saying... That's a valid term for liquid you wash up with.

    I always thought it was interesting that sometimes people call things by their brand name and not what they are.

    Like tylenol instead of pain killers. Coke instead of pop.

    do people say Tylenol for anything besides acetaminophen? I've never heard it used as a catch-all for pain-killers before.

    I've always said dish detergent and laundry detergent because my family believes in specificity.

    Fridge isn't short for refrigerator, it's short for Fridgidaire.

    So that can be on the list of brand names used as common names.

    I never use dumpster anymore because I have to be specific re: garbage or recycle bin.

    Weaver would then probably complain we aren't calling it alpining or something.
