Alright ya'll (I'm not southernbut I can still say that word), I've decided to launch a new thread series. I do "Reviews by the Walrus" occassionally around here, but now I'm going to start posting more casual things that (hopefully) can cause some good hearted laughs in all of us. My brother in law, sister in law, and myself have all simplified this generations Nintendo handheld name to something, well, simple.

We call it either the Two dis (2ds) or the three dis (3ds). We don't bother with the other adjectives. My wife, in her adorable and wonderful gaming ignorance, continues to call it a gameboy. I've given up trying to convince her to call it by its proper name; the Nintendo New Three D S X L or the New Nintendo Three D S X L. Why do you say I've given up? Because I realize how terribly inconvenient it is for me to say that massive mouthful all the time. It's so annoying. I just let her get away with gameboy but I think she is coming around to "three dis" because it is much easier to say and pretty fun to say. Anyway, that is my example and I'm curious what you actually call the stinking device (whether you own one or not)?

Try 3-dis out for a day. You'll fall in love. It's the perfect combination of adborable, addicting, easy to say, and efficiency.

I'm not sure, already used to just saying 3DS. Only one syllable difference so not much big deal :/

3-dis? As in "Hey man, why you dissin me?" Not sure if I could get used to that. I just call it by its normal name.

Funny thread, though. lol



It'll be awhile before I figure out how to do one of these. :P 

I just call it the 3 D S, lol. It just rolls off the tongue.
