My brother insists on calling Roblox "Robots" to his kids. This appropriately infuriates them. I'm workshopping Fork-knife to bug my step kids.

Fork-knife sounds like too much out of the gates, ya gotta pick one

Start small with Forknight or Fortknife, workshop some more if that doesn't get the desired reaction

Fort Fight, pronounced as 2 words. It works because it's plausible.

I've been calling Fortnight Forknife for at least 15 years now. We're pretty progressive around our house.
