Not really a trade name, but whatever fuel is used in an engine started by compression gets named after the engine's inventor, Rudolf Diesel.
Herr Diesel himself used coal dust or vegetable oil, but these days fuel derived from petroleum, gas or wood all gets called diesel. |

Then there's Amelia Bloomer, the 19th century American feminist, and Antoine Sax, the 19th century Belgian musical-instrument maker.

Anusol. Cream relief for your 'chalfonts' I have always referred to suppositories as bum pellets. The other half was going to do the shopping a year or two back and I told her to get me some bum pellets whilst there. So she got to the pharmacy counter at Sainsbury's and couldn't remember the real name of them as she was only used to what I call them. "Can I have some bum pellets please?" she had to ask, very embarrassed. Fortunately they understood her. |
