The people in charge of naming kitchen stuff are either not very imaginative or else think people are stupid.
They seem to state the obvious:
ice cream scoop soup bowl
potato peeler tea spoon
butter knife ice pick
lobster fork coffee cup
dinner plate salad tongs
frying pan sugar bowl
drinking glass salt shaker
pizza cutter rolling pin
I’m glad they aren’t in charge of naming other stuff:
driving car money wallet coloring crayon hand pen communication phone cutting scissors
note: I’m all for “dundancy” and against “redundancy“. To reiterate, I am “anti-superfluous” and “pro- regularfluous”.
double note: if you hang knives and forks on a christmas tree are they “utinsels“?
triple note: if you hang knives and forks on a christmas tree are you cutting edge or just forked?
quadruple note: image from here.

Amazing thoughts and observations! I want some of what you’re drinking. You are so clever.
If you are anti-redundancy, why do you reiterate?

Maybe it’s an intelligence test?

No clever comment here. Just admiring your talents. Things that make you go “hmmmm”.

“Where’s the thingamajiggy” is what you’d hear in my kitchen most days.

You forgot tooth brush. But Toilet paper should be bum paper. I’ve never wiped the toilet with it, just my bum

Oh I didn’t take enough notice, it’s Kitchen utensils, bum wiping in the kitchen is not good, especially if you have visitors
