ShriDurga Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 My students had a listening passage in which someone suggests the gift of music for a friend with a Walkman. I wrote it Walkman the board. The students still didn't know what it was. An age has passed. One student asked, why don't they call it a Walkwoman? (I teach at a women's college.)

KJ_Palmer Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Probably just as well, I've never liked the term and have never used it, Sony or not. Personal CD (tape, MD etc) player/recorder seems to cover it adequately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
