My cake of MWF shall now be referenced as "Mischievous Wool Fat".

 

I'll contiune to use my puck of soap. And I'll have a slice of cake after dinner.

 

It doesn't taste like cake.

 

You can't play hockey with it either. Hmm, I wonder if shaving soap tastes like rubber?

 

I say 'puck' even though I know better. I have this Victorian trade card from I guess around 1860-1870's of an old Richmond soap company and the nomenclature is indeed 'cake'.

 

Isn't language a funny thing? The way the naming of objects and the meaning of words and expressions changes over time never ceases to amaze me. Maybe I'll retreat to the use of 'cake' as well. If only for the fun of it.

 

Thank you. But then, I still say "Redskins"............

 

While I agree that your use of cake for a "chunk" 0f soap is correct. I like using the term puck to differentiate between "shave soap"(puck) and "hand/bath soap"(cake). Both are chunks of soap but they're use and to some degree manufacture is different.
A good or even bad puck(shave soap) will make a good/decent hand soap, but a good cake(hand/bath soap) won't necessarily make a good shave soap.
Of course like "Bobcat" I also still say "Redskins"...

 

wonder where "bar came from"

 

I'm Canadian. Everything looks like a puck to me. That includes my shaving soaps and my flask. Starting to get cold around here

 

Who really cares?

 

To me, VDH is quite bitter. Not acidic like grapefruit, but bitter.

 

Cake or Puck?—use whatever you're comfortable with. We'll know of what you speaketh. 'Cake of soap' does sound somewhat archaic, but if the name fits…

Now, cake or Pie is easy.
Pie…everytime!

"Old men?" I believe the politically correct term for them is "Old geezers."

 

I was just sitting here thinking. What would you call a croup?

I may be "OLD", but at least I'm still here..

 

Unless you're having one of these…um …pucks of cake? Cake pucks? A cake of cake? Cake cakes?
