I do call my little men Hasbros!Originally posted by JediTricks
Calling them "Legos" is like calling your Star Wars 3 3/4" action figures "Hasbros". Both are company names, not product titles. Would you call video game cartridges or discs "Nintendoes" or "Playstations"?
Tommy, close your eyes.

LEGO watches? I had no idea...
I'd buy a LEGO watch. Would it have curved "Y" shaped hands on it? Or a yellow happy "face?" 
"May the 4th be with you?" "Why yes, thank you for asking."

LEGO: The company name and brand.
A LEGO: A LEGO piece, singular.
LEGOs: Plural, more than one LEGO. Example: "I like LEGOs." not, "I like a LEGO."

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

Then what would you call them if you saw a giant lot of LEGO bricks? Lot-o-Lego?
A LEGO brick: a brick from the LEGO brand toys from the LEGO company. So... take off the brick, you get a LEGO; a LEGO brick, piece, sword, helmet, whatever. Take off the A and make it plural; LEGOs, LEGO bricks, LEGO pieces, LEGO swords, LEGO helmets, LEGO whatevers.
I didn't fall asleep enough in english...

Not to be a punk, the only reason I brought up the "LEGO/LEGOS" issue, is that the company itself has mentioned in the past that LEGOS is not a term they prefer. "LEGO bricks" or "LEGO blocks" are fine. That's all.
With another toy, I used to call them "cars," not "Matchbox" or "Hot Wheels." Is that wrong?"May the 4th be with you?" "Why yes, thank you for asking."

Nah, as long as it isn't a boat or something you're calling a car.
