Why are these things called "smartphones" and not "palmtops", "pocket computers" or "handhelds"?

They used to be just phones, you 18 year old fool. Then they added cameras, then mp3 features etc until it came to the device you now call a "smartphone".

Americans have always been retarded when it comes to naming things.

Rugby with padding and periodic rests

Just call them plaster, tissue paper, and lip balm instead of some brand name

>>American "Football"
>Rugby with padding and periodic rests
Comes from "rugby football" which is the full name of rugby.
>>automobile
>It's a fucking car
We call them cars, too. I don't know anyone who says "automobile" in everyday conversation.
>>"Band-Aid", "Kleenex", "ChapStick"
>Just call them plaster, tissue paper, and lip balm instead of some brand name
Plaster is the cast you get when you've broken a limb; how the fuck does it factor into adhesive bandages? Tissue paper is the stuff you fill gift bags with. What you're talking about are just tissues.
