Found this post on IG and I’m wondering what this community’s stance is. With winter now officially here*, I think it’s a valid question.
Edit: *where I live
You can melt and solidify metal but that is considered a rod, not a stick
You can melt and solidify water
That is a rod of ice
Bread sticks
Stick of butter
Stick of dynamite
Carrot sticks
Stick shiftI feel like there’s enough precedent to allow the Ice stick, given the circumstances
Disagree. In each of the cases you’ve cited the term “stick” describes the form of the subject, and no better term exists.
If small shafts of carrot were commonly called carroticles, then you couldn’t call one a carrot stick.
Clearly the object pictured in this post is an icicle. It is not an ice stick.
This is why there are 12 types of Christianity. No it’s not a stick and I will crusade against anybody who claims it is.
I just realized there is an entire continent where there are no trees, and thus no sticks.
And it isnt a small continent either. it is larger than all of Europe and also larger than Australia. We arent talking about an island or archipelago or even some random landlocked desert. It is a continent.
the fact that there are no sticks that naturally occur there at all… it confuses and concerns me.
This is deeply unsettling to me.
