    Why don't they trademark a real word instead of one that makes you look like a douche.

    Who wants to give me money so I can trademark the word 'Kungfoolery'

    If you are going to trademark a made up word, at least make it a badass awesome one not one that makes you sound like a cunt.

    If they trademarked it, would that succeed in lowering its day-to-day usage?
    Would it also make them look like colossal assbags?

    Assuming either of these is correct, I have no qualms, other than a general distaste towards companies claiming legal ownership of words.
