I've said it before and I'll say it again. Walkie-talkie is such a silly name for an object. Imagine if we let that person name other things: sitty-watchy (a telly), brainie-rottie (internet), sittie-travelie (train), drinkie-chokie (boba tea but only when white people drink it for the first time), lickie-freezie (ice-cream)
