Ducati Monster Forum

Hello Duc Friends!

I'm based in the states and am working with a client on a one-word name for one of his new products that will be offered globally (as are some of his current products).  

Rather than using just Google translate, Etymology.com and late night conversations with friends with tasty beverages, I thought I'd ask to see what kind of terms (proper or otherwise) you use for a bag, a pouch, satchel, etc.  This will be for a companion product that is compatible with all his other products.  (I've been researching "companion" and "bag" in other languages but thought I'd ask if you have any other words that you use.

Many thanks!    [beer]
Stella

luggage bag, then there is brand names like Ventura or Kriega bags if this is what you are talking about.

Man Bag.
Man Purse.
Fancy pants nancy boy bag.

Perfect!    [laugh]

Looking to create a new name, preferably one word but thanks for the suggestion! 

Would you buy a "Murse" ?    ;)

Swag
Kit

That would be well received in Australia, especially from a foreign company >:(

Stella, what type of things would be carried in this thing ... I am unfamiliar with what you carry in a 'Fancy pants nancy boy bag'.

I need a bit more context.

If this "Bag" is for both sexes you could call it a "THINGO"

A bag to put your  things  in.

There you go! I even came up with the slogan.



Other option is you could call it "wife" for the blokes bag. (just thinking out loud) he he

....And the ladies could call their bag a "Sack". The blokes could call theirs a "Man Sack".  [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

The "Swag" is huge, and you also sleep in a swag. Could give people the wrong idea.

Good luck with it.  [thumbsup]

P.S. The "Thingo" sounds like a good idea. Very clever.  ;D

From my friend:  "What's a 'companion bag'? Like a boyfriend?  Or wife?"    


Some people....    [roll]    ;D


The bag is being designed to fit a laptop.  This laptop bag will be fastened to the outside of a commercial-grade, larger (companion) bag.  What differentiates these "bags" are the construction, fabrics and purpose for the relatively small number of consumers in a particular sector (non-moto).  Sorry but I can't give much more than that.

Preference is one word, without any preconceived, negative connotations.  We've been playing around with several Swahili words but I don't want to limit ourselves to that language.

How is "swag" considered negative.  Our definition is basically free, cheap merchandise.  

Thanks again!   [thumbsup]

Not negative at all. When my husband goes away off roading he sleeps in a "Swag". It's like a roll up mattress with canvas exterior like a small low tent. Probably not relating to a satchel for carrying a computer? This could confuse people a bit.  ???

lapsack
stashit, stash-it, sta-shit
bagit


Do I get royalties if you use one of them.  ???

 Man sack a.k.a. lollie bag

"Comsac"  (Computer Sac).

I think if you watch some Seinfeld episodes you could surely find an American word for such a bag.

good example is the "Manzier" that Georges father Frank came up with. (for the man who needs support) [laugh] [laugh] that still cracks me up.


Like the Comsac idea [thumbsup]

Piggyback - That's essentially what you are doing?

Pillion ... c'mon it had to be said

Piggyback pretty good, piggybag maybe?

BTW 
   Q.What do you put on a pig's back when it gets sunburn?


   A.Oinkment.

^^^ [laugh] an oldie but a goodie^^^

I think our definition of swag pre-dates yours (I am often wrong) so was concerned that from an Aussie viewpoint the term may appear to have been ... ummm ... borrowed for the commercial gain of a foreign entity.

Swag is not just a 'sleeping swag' it can also be used to refer to the way/means you carry all your worldly possessions. For example a shearer or drover may move from place to place with only a 'swag'.

Call it a 'laptop leach' cause it sucks onto a surogate bag!


Yes I am still here! ;D

Lucky I was sitting down when I saw your name pop up.

>Thread jack<

You coming out on the 11th, it's in your backyard?

>end thread jack<

Call it "The Scrote"
  ;D

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Brilliant. Even rhymes with tote which could be the main/parent bag.

So now that all the ... umm ... appendage synonyms are coming out, I am left to ponder: 'is that why Stella posted in Ozmo-land?'

Sad Sac  :)


on a more serious note:

Remora.

 :D


Wiki: A remora (pronounced /ˈrɛmərə/), sometimes called a suckerfish or sharksucker, is an elongated, brown fish in the order Perciformes and family Echeneidae.[1][2][3] They grow to 30–90 centimetres long (1–3 ft), and their distinctive first dorsal fin takes the form of a modified oval sucker-like organ with slat-like structures that open and close to create suction and take a firm hold against the skin of larger marine animals. By sliding backward, the remora can increase the suction, or it can release itself by swimming forward. Remoras sometimes attach to small boats. They swim well on their own, with a sinuous, or curved, motion.

hhhmmm isn't that a bit rude Super

Which one?

Sad Sac?


How about Cupcake?  :-*

aahh that the Super i have been missing, thanks for the cheer me up [thumbsup] :-*

'cos we know all about pouches and hangingon to stuff, we have marsupials.

(http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/willow/marsupial-info0.gif)

There you go, I accidently created the word "hangingon" or "hanginon" 'cos it hanging on to the big bag.

You can send me bling as payment Stella, sorry, I don't accept personal cheques.....  ;D

What about Back Sac and crack  (you may need to leave the & crack bit out )

how about a "willknot" you could market it like "will not leak, will not damage your pooter etc.


paul.

maybe loony has just come up with another name without realising it.

"Pooterpouch"  (stole the pooter bit) will share royalties with ya loony!

hmmm, royalties!!!!

hmm..., ill settle my terms of payment up front, I accept local or foreign 1198's BOD only  ;D

how'bout;

totebook or booktote

mochila (means back pack in spanish pronounced mo-chi'-la')

cajone (another spanish one, its a single big drawer, as in big cajones, but singular, so its tuff and manly and ussually matched up/paired :D)

i-bag 2.0, that should sell like hot cakes! >>> I know, Ill go sit in the corner now

He's just following the theme of the thread ... no fun without a double entendre.

pooter (puta) is a spanish slang word for whore.

Refer to my last comment [laugh]

Yea just been busy doing home additions, work, kids ect.

Ride in my back yard! Hell yea!

I will check the ride thread.

yeah cmon mate, and bring the duke this time.... it was killing me watching you hold me up in the twisties up the pass

Nick you have nothing to worry about. How do you think I paid for the home additions! [moto]

 [laugh]

Well I s'pose we have shown Stella how things work in Ozmo-land. Odds are discussion will fly off on a tangent and include plenty of sexual innuendo ... it just happens that they are not related in this case ;D

Strap on? ;D

 [clap]  [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

We could cut to the chase and call it "whore bag"

 [thumbsup] [clap] [thumbsup] Don't forget the word BLOOD SUCKING ;D

AND THE WINNER IS..........................
