Endless Synonyms

Apr 16, 2024

This week we are again giving people a chance to come up with more automotive synonyms. 

This is a word puzzler with many, many answers. So we are letting people continue to figure out good answers for this. We thought that we didn't give everyone sufficient time to really get some good answers sent in. 

So we are restating this word puzzler again. 

As we all know there are 1000s of automotive terms, words associated with automobiles, like car parts, car names, car lingo. And what we're looking for are pairs of car related words whose non-automotive meanings happen to be synonyms. And the example we gave last week were 'tire' and 'exhaust.' 

There have been a few good ones sent in over the past week. We want to see how many we can get. 

Good luck all.
 

Answer: 

Okay here are the best synonyms we have. Here they are. 

Pairs of words who are automotive, but their secondary meaning are synonyms. Like 'tire' and 'exhaust.' 

Here are the best ones. 

Pump and shoe.

Hood and muffler.

Strip and flash. 

Fuse and weld.

Seat and rear end.

Shoes and boots.

Hose and shaft.

Head and dome.

And this one is great. Juice, as in battery juice, and V8. We love that one. So clever.
