Does anyone else get extremely annoyed when people says something like:

 

"It's a Bread o' Lantern!"?

 

I do. The name of the original Jack o' Lantern is not Pumpkin o' Lantern, so why do you name it by what it is? It's just a Jack o' Lantern made out of bread. 

 

People also do this with Inception. Like, a game within a game is "Gameception". That is not correct! The film wasn't called Dreamception, was it?

 

Jesus. Why can't people get this through their heads?!

I feel like you're a few months late on this rant.

I think that was a purely fictitious example, but if it wasn't I would be interested to know thought of that bright idea ;P

But to answer your question. No. I don't believe anyone else gets mad over this.

Well, I looked and couldn't find actual "bread o' lanterns" :( However, I did find these jack o' lantern bread bowls with chili instead of fire inside of them:

Soo, plausible but not practical?

 

I don't think it would annoy me if people were calling them bread o' lanterns, but I wouldn't call them that XD

I'm just imagining burning bread. But nope, petty things like that don't get me mad.

Did you go to a film studies class? Cause another person hated the Inception joke as well or same person, and I don't see the fuss its just a meme now that is nowadays less used

It sounds like a lame seasonal special at Panera Bread or something.

Right? I want new people to do this from now on. Come in, state their name, then start to rant about lizard people controlling the world or how the word 'funtertainment' is overused when it clearly is used the correct amount.

This should become a tradition.

Speaking of Inception, is anyone else planning on watching it soon? I am really craving a rewatch.

This is just like Branjolina, or Bennifer, or any other number of ignorant things people think up.
I say meh. Ignore the twats and if someone says something stupid in your presence just shake your head and walk away.
Or you could tell them...."So sorry, but I refuse to recognize your superfluous stupidity at this time and any time in the near/far/distant/infinity future. Buh-bye."

I love those things.  I don't get annoyed by much anymore.  Except economic illiteracy.
