- ButlerianJihad 2mo ago150 years ago, I may have asked for a bandage or first aid. Perhaps those terms helped give an idea to the marketing team. Being more accustomed to medical terms now, sometimes I call it a “dressing” which is also two syllables. “Adhesive Medical Strip” sounds one of those database categories someone invented for a store or clinic, once Band-Aid had competitors.
