Man, Ikea has some mighty fine names for product, but lately they've been getting slack.

I mean: Sultan (matresses), Bonnett (mirror) and Index (curtain rods), that's slacking

mind you they still found time to come up with Bumerang (clothes hangers) and Skubb (organisers) but I think we can help them do better

I'm looking to see Sploof toilet seats and I would certainly buy a Molk chair. And where is the Ünk bedside cabinet.

You do realise those are also words in Swedish?

As for toilet seats, my friend Maren discovered that the product that shared her name at Ikea was just that. She was thrilled.

"Fugli" is a name that could describe a bunch of Ikea products. "Krappi" could be used as well.

I put up a wardrobe once that might as well have been called Hälvete
