Any non-bjd words/things that makes you think of BJD?

SD card. Like for a camera. Every time, my brain hits a snag on that one haha.

I find that the opposite is more often true, that I end up wanting to use BJD-related terminology for other situations and then people just end up confused. Like when my mom was acting really high-strung and snappy, I warned my sister she was being "kicky." Haha and the other day when my husband wanted to buy a side table that would have been too small for what we needed I said it wasn't to scale.

 

Earlier this month, I was at a Warhammer shop. I drooled over the displays and asked what the biggest scale their settings came in. The answer: too small to turn into houses for my BJDs.

 

I work at a postal unit and I giggle every time this one particular customer comes in and ships things to her family in Florida. They live in Lutz.

 

Less related to BJDs; I'm a former lifeguard and we abbreviate Emergency Medical Services as EMS. I'm always reminded of the shipping service whenever I go back through my textbook and vice versa when I'm paying for overseas shipping for a doll haha

 

Just imagine

Mine would have to be in the opening theme song for friends "my love lifes DOA..."
Would that make Den of Angel's a dating site for people, or for dolls??

 

When I got my first BJD my friend choked on their drink. Their mind had interpreted it as "BJ" Doll with the BJ standing for a sex act. Hence a major misunderstanding about the nature of the doll in question.

 

My friends all thought that too when I first told them lolol...

 

Yep, had the same situation over here! I just refer to them as "art dolls" to prevent any misunderstandings.

 

Not sure if I'm on the right page here... I just followed an Instagramer who has adopted about 7 teacup size toy poddles and maltese dogs. Watching their vids really put a smile on my face. They were beautiful and cute in those little pet costumes! Makes me want to own a puppy and a persian cat one day. When I did a search on the price, i was surprised that the price for a teacup is about $5000. For a toy poddle it's about $1800-$2000. This made me feel less guilty having a SOOM bjd and an Iplehouse dolls. At least owning a bjd, i dont need to buy food or take them to a vet (bjd doctor) - so that's some saving for me. Having said that, I still want a pet one day. This feeling reminded me of when I was young I was desperate to own one bjd.

 

Check your local shelter! A lot of people end up giving their pets up for adoption once they realize that a pet costs so much more than the initial purchase cost-even and arguably ESPECIALLY purebreds, teacups, etc. We adopted our teacup chihuahua for $80. She's actually smaller than my doll is. Pets at a shelter will usually require a lot of time, energy, and love (mine had some serious abandonment issues when we first got her), so that is one thing to keep in mind.

 

For me its theres a thing at work. I work at a deli/bakery and everytime I make the sheets up to pull all the bread for the next day, I abbreviate sourdough to SD. Makes me smile every time>.<

 

At the non-profit where I work part-time, there's a job title of MSC. It stands for Medicaid Service Coordinator (basically a social worker). But I knew MSC as a face-up sealant first.

 

The tire machines at work have CP written on the side. I think of « CP chiwoo/woosoo/etc. »

 

OMG! I live close to Lutz and never thought of that! I will never think of it the same way again when I hear it on the news!

 

When anyone talks about "unnecessary things that cost way too much"

 

I tend to do the opposite I think. I tend to measure things by BJD standard and confuse people. But definitely if I see SD or many other abbreviations we use.
