So I saw the Facade yoyo when it came out to yoyoexpert. Seemed pretty cool and looked like it was great for your money. But when I had my tutor over to quiz me on vocab terms, you will NOT believe what facade means. It’s not innapropriate or anything, just funny and stupid. So, it means: fa·cade/fəˈsäd/ Noun: The front of a building that looks onto a street or open space. An outward appearance that is maintained to conceal a less pleasant or creditable reality. A yoyo that’s the front of a building, or a yoyo that looks good on the outside but sucks on the inside. I’m not saying bad things about RecRev, but they should look up the definition of a word before giving it to a yoyo. ---

I’m sure Alex Kim knows what the word means. I mean, sometimes it’s not even about the definition of the world. It’s just…the use of the word itself. I’m pretty sure you didn’t pick up an Avalanche and expect a large mass of snow/ice sliding down a mountainside. Or picked up a Supernova and checked the outer space with a telescope if a star exploded. It’s just a name. No need to OMG RECREV FAIL!!!1111111111ONEONEONEONE1eleven over it. ---

Sometimes, don’t judge a book by it’s cover. Similarly, don’t judge a throw by it’s name. I mean, the GSquared Albatross. The Albatross is a big, clumsy bird(while on land anyways). Yet, the yoyo is an amazing player. A friend has a Facade he got at BAC. I wish I had gotten one. It’s an amazing player. Don’t judge the looks. It’s got an unconventional profile with the cut in it, but it’s all player! BTW, I have TWO of the RecRev Sharps and they are NOT sharp. I’ve never once cut myself. Another fail? No, not at all! They are sweet! ---

I have friends who are architects and the word “Facade” is constantly falling out of their mouths. Words can have more non-traditional or non-dictionary use, especially today. Think of all the words we use daily that are not even close to their meaning. Facade according to my architect friends is simply used to describe something that looks pleasant such as the “wall’s facade” the “buildings facade” stuff like that. Not all words have to stick to their technical use. I’m sure RecRev considered the name before using it. ---

So I guess that means all of CLYW’s yoyos (Chief, Sasquatch, Bassalope, Arctic Circle, Gnarwhal, etc.) are either Native American leaders, a geographic location, or fantastical creatures that would either kill you, or sing an annoying song about Gnarwhals. ---

I have always wondered about certain companies naming their product and the influence from where it is from. I know recently Onedrop named the “Cascade” due to the mountainous region. Bapezilla and Viszilla are from influence of brands of clothing companies out in Japan. BSP…well…those initials are swear words apparently that I can’t say on Expert. We should look more into this. ~Z ---
