It's like people calling powdered drink mix from Flavor
Aid, "Kool-Aid". I'm sure we've all heard the expression,
"Drinking the Kool-Aid" when talking about someone who follows
something or someone blindly. Well it came from the Jim Jones
tragedy in Jonestown, Guyana. They drank poisonded Flavor Aid
but most people still call it Kool-Aid.
They just wrote me an essay trying to explain why some
people call them soldering pencils and soldering guns rather
than irons. I've heard those expressions before, it's just a
matter of the person's background and doesn't really mean much.
