Can we collectively retcon an unencumbered replacement name for such things? Odoromop?

  Sounds like a naming idea for a cleaning implement that came up in Mr Clean marketing meeting and was immediately dismissed.

    I think it's probably a mop that spreads odors instead of getting rid of them.

      Actually "mop" is just a metaphor cooked up by the marketing department. Odoromap uses advanced catalytic technology to convert nasty odors to pleasant ones.

I thought common words were free use...? You don't need a license with Apple to make an apple shaped pomodoro timer.

  If you make shoes and call them pomodoros I guess that’s fine. If you make an app that competes with and implements the same idea and you call it the same that doesn’t sound like “free” or “fair” use.
