For some reason I am frightened by the name of "JIF Peanut Butter." It probably means something, make your meal in a jiffy or something like that, but when I see those three letters I wonder if this peanut butter didn't come from another planet. Jif! Jif!

Same thing for the shortened version of "mathematics"--"math."

Say "math" over and over again while looking at the word "math." It will soon have no meaning to you, just a sound, a weird noise your mouth makes. Try it, it's fun! Well, actually, it's not.
