Yes, that's it exactly -- both my mom and I remember my asking her "steen or stine"? Also, with "stain" there'd be some jokes we would have made, but we didn't (e.g., "berry stain", or, some bathroom humor).

She found the books in my sister's old room, and they read "stain" -- she was quite freaked out about it. I also observed "Sex In(And) the City" and "Interview with A(the) Vampire" -- the latter, I distinctly recall the poster which had the words in white apart from the large "A", which was in red.

My parents have owned Volvos since before I was born, and I have always associated the logo with the symbol for male, the circle with the arrow pointing out, so I didn't experience the only-round Volvo logo.

Which is not to say that others haven't experienced it. I'm also certain the adult diaper used to be "Depends" (now missing the "s"), and that "Febreze" used to be spelled "Febreeze" (a play on words, "breeze" was part of the word).

Anyway, enjoying this conversation -- upvoted and followed!
