Does anyone know if there’s a name for the local, seemingly spontaneous names of things? For example, in the town where I grew up, there was a one-block-long street that everyone called “Cruddy Street.” But its official name was 11th Avenue. Near where I live now, there’s a flight of city steps whose official name is (I think) the 214th Street City Steps. But everyone calls it “Wine Alley” because of the mulberries that coat it in June. What do we call these names?

“Believing that inspiration outweighs everything else is, I suspect, a sign that someone is unfamiliar with the medium.”

I just remembered that I had EvB’s fish stickers in my phone. I can’t remember when he made them or how I got them, but anyway 🐟
