Slang to know you have a Genesis

[exbimmer]

What do you think a Genesis will be called in ownership slang?
For example: BMW - Bimmer

For us, it’s a Genny. Nothing else has ever stuck.

I wanted to call mine Phil.......................... but the drum set wouldn't fit in the trunk.

This is what I call the ones I have/had:

2009 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 - Kimchi Mercedes

2021 Genesis G70 - Kimchi BMW

2019 Kia Stinger - Kimchi Panamera


Some might find them offensive. Because I love these cars, to me they are terms of endearment, not disparagement.

In general, I agree Genny or Gennie is probably the most commonly used nickname. FWIW, I prefer the feminine spelling with "ie", which also helps to differentiate from the "y"-ending, which a lot of folks use as abbreviation for generators. But that's counting turtle hair.

Calling it a "genny" just sounds to soy-boyish.

I know you're waiting for someone to comment, but it appears that there's no reply at all.

But it's nice to know that some can read behind the lines.

On a related note... most of us have one Genesis in our garage. What to call them if we have two?

Geneses?

Genesises?

Genesis's?

Genesii?

I call mine a car. If I had two, would say "cars". If I want to show off and be more formal, it is my "automobile".

I had a teacher in 5th grade, Ms. Gates, who referred to her au-to-Mo'-bull. Mobile pronounced just as in mobile phone. Not au-to-mo-beel'.
We thought she was weird and this was just one of her pedantic curiosities.
