Unsame your ceiling!
urges the paint company Craig and Rose.
Unsame it?
You mean...change it?
Repaint it?
Renovate, update, transform, or restyle it?
It's fine to make up a new word if you need to sell something (not that Craig and Rose do need to make up a new word) but for heavens' sake make up one that makes your product sound attractive.
Unsame??
What do you think of our new kitchen?
Um, well, I suppose it's...unsame.
It's enough to make one's host spit in the soup.
I'll give you flipping unsame.
Word Not To Use Today: unsame. The word same goes right back through Old Norse sami and Greek homos to the Sanskrit sama.
