What The F…

SZ Home. Happy mother’s day to mum. Happy birthday to my sis. My family must be having steamboat for lunch and dinner again tomorrow just like what we used to do all previous year of Mother’s day. I miss them.

People in my SZ office commonly know a brand name without really care how to spell it.

They know Vodafone verbally but not knowing how to spell it in word. One of my colleague who was English educated playfully announce in office pointing to the Vodafone logo, and say, this is Vodafone, W-h-a-t-t-h-e-p-h-o-n-e, “WHAT THE PHONE”.

This made me think. Was the name of Vodafone retrieved from What The Phone? Both of them rhyme.

I googled and found on out it was actually Voice data fone, chosen by the company to “reflect the provision of voice and data services over mobile phones.”.

My colleagues are creative sometimes.
