So we have a company whose brand name has become a household name for a style of product trying to deter that trend.
Not the first time. No doubt not the last time either.

Aspirin is a classic case of course 🙂

Joe, they’re only a regular clothing item for bogans (our equivalent term to “rednecks”). In my experience, “uggs” only refers to the loose, low-cut style of boot that’s usually worn around the house like slippers.

So in Australia, “Uggs” are more of a clothing item such as tennis shoes or flip flops? I’ve never been a fan of the boots to begin with.
