We just bought a new car last week.  Paying sixty-five bucks to fill up the tank gets old fast.  So - out with the SUV and in with a nifty little dark grey Toyota Prius. 


I'd been trying to figure out exactly how you would refer to Prius in the plural and hadn't made much headway, so when my wife was out of the room I asked the salesperson.

Me: So... How do you refer to Prius plurally?

Him: Uhh... Priuses, I think.

Me: Oh.  That makes sense... I'd been thinking maybe Pria.  Well... How would you refer to a gathering of Priuses - like at a rally or something?

Him:  I have no idea.

Me:  I'd like to suggest "Priupism" 

Him:  ...

Me:  That's "Priupism" - with a "u."

Him:  Your car is over there.

Oddly he did not walk out to the car with me.  He waited for my wife.

Having made the water cooler chat much more interesting that day my job was complete.
