Why do they keep saying carmageddon????
- wpietri 7y agoI think you could call that moderately popular at best. 20+ years ago. They keep calling it that for the same reason the game got that name: it's a cute term that quickly conveys "giant automotive disaster".
- yCombLinks 7y agoThey're not talking about the game? The game didn't create the term, the incredibly simple adding of the letter C to the word Armageddon?
- vinylkey 7y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_405_(California)#%22Carmageddon%22 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_405_(California)#%2... There's some other precedent for the word Carmageddon other than an old game that a lot people haven't heard of.
