Or imagine that all condiments are relabelled "mayonnaise", because that is
the only legally allowed condiment and no one admits to wanting to break
the law - so you have "spicy mayo" (curry), "salty mayo" (salt), and
someone who wants actual mayo is at a loss for words to even accurately
phrase their request (since even "actual mayo" gets coopted).
