What do you call McDonald's? Eagerly seeking contributions! The first four I collected from folks. The next few are from Nationmaster
That this list even has a reason to exist makes me sad.
Anyway, my mom calls it "Yucky McDucky's".
That fits.
However, when I'm in an alien land, like California, New Jersey, or Canada, the sight of McDonald's comforts me. Like a big American footprint in the sand.
Or a big steaming American turd marring the landscape. You know, however you want to view it. I personally found the playing of Eminem at the bars enough of a taste of home for me.
Talk about your big American turds.
Ha, fair play! Like I said in another thread, I make no effort at defending him.
