Well, this is truly one of the strangest word stories I've ever read on AWAD. What you are saying is some sneaker company looked at its sneakers and someone there said, "Hmmmm. These sneakers look like monster ticks." And someone else agreed and said, "But we don't want to call them ticks because that is very repulsive." So someone else said, "I just happen to know the Gaelic word for 'tick'--it's 'ked.' Why don't we call the sneakers 'Keds'?" Someone else said, "Very good. We'll call them ticks, uh, I mean, keds." And somebody else said, "Why, yes. Keds are for kids. And we'll know the truth: these sneakers look like monster ticks."
Now, wwh, you've really grossed me out because for the rest of my life whenver I look at black sneakers, I'm going to think that that person is walking, running, jumping around on monster ticks, quite disgusting.
