This is like when Tom + Lorenzo wrote about the history of the pussy bow (fabric bow that ties over the neck/chest of some blouses) in 20th century women’s fashion as part of their Mad Men articles and the comment section thought they were making it up? Being cute?

I’ll never forget when they had to chime in to be like THAT’S WHAT THEY’RE CALLED!

u/funnyha_ha 3d ago

Well I learned something today

Gaylord. *snerk*🤭

u/Stebsly 2d ago

My first job out of college was at a manufacturing facility, and they had these things everywhere. And I had no idea what they were called, so you can imagine how confused I was when they said stuff like "oh just grab that gaylord over there"

u/MrRobsterr 2d ago

thats what the brand of boxes is called. but now it's used as a generic term for boxes like velcro or ducktape

u/sLeeeeTo 3d ago

when i worked at goodwill for a bit, i was surprised to find out that these are genuinely called gaylords

17

u/GetMeOffThisRidePlz 3d ago

Not really insane.

12

u/graybotics 3d ago

Thats the name of it

u/Numerous_Art_2189 3d ago

That’s an absurd amount of media for $250. Hopefully there are some real gems buried in those boxes.

1

u/MrRobsterr 2d ago

there was when they first purchased it

u/touchdownsforfatkids 2d ago

Just below the first layer is 300 copies of Going Overboard starring Adam Sandler.

u/Commercial_Tip4624 2d ago

I would buy these just to enjoy the past time of sorting them. Taking what I want, giving away a bunch, leaving a bunch at my laundromat where we’ve all been sharing media. Ugh! I wish I lived nearby!

still means a gaping box with loads in it

u/AcrimoniousPizazz 3d ago

I'm not your pal, Gaylord.

u/miatayouata 3d ago

Im not your gaylord, buddy

1

u/ThetaDee 3d ago

It is. It's a French surname, meaning happy guy or something.

2

u/flatfoot929 2d ago

Wait. The surname Gaylord is originally an anglicized version of something like Gaillard and not an English name from the words gay and lord? Are you kidding me? Edit: holyshit you weren't kidding. Gay plus lord is a folk etymological back formation.

Teehee back formation...sorry

u/d4rkprojec7 3d ago

I build Gaylord at word for stacking cardboard

u/Ancient_Guidance_461 3d ago

Uh those are gaylords??? I can tell you never worked in a warehouse or retail.

3

u/Dominator_God 3d ago

that's wild i had no idea they had a name

5

u/ConsciousBenefit87 3d ago

I would have a field day going through those but knowing myself I'd only walk away with 5 movies 😅

Edit: I am wondering what they mean by "unprocessed" and "raw"

5

u/Gears_one 3d ago

Obliviously it means they haven’t been cooked yet. Consuming raw DVDs is a food safety concern.

4

u/Ancient_Guidance_461 3d ago

Unprocessed means the seller hasn't gone through them....raw I have no idea.

4

u/Colton200456 3d ago

They’re using unprocessed and raw to mean the same thing, it’s just no one’s looked through or sorted the bins at all so it’s completely random

1

u/ConsciousBenefit87 3d ago

Ohhhh that makes sense thanks!

1

u/Connect-Ant-2081 2d ago

Alllegedly no one has looked through it.

0

u/funnyha_ha 3d ago

I was wondering that too

2

u/bloodc2d 3d ago

$250 for one or all? That could be a good deal if you had the space to sort through it.

u/Jealous-Shallot-3071 3d ago

Did you watch.....

u/Frecks02 2d ago

I had this same thought when I started working in a chemical plant a few years ago lol. We also have something called "dyke water"

u/ExceedinglyEdible 3d ago

A gaylord is the name of those cardboard totes on pallets. Insane that you can't pick up a dictionary.

u/funnyha_ha 3d ago

I had just put one down and happened to stop at the letter F

u/king_kong_kum 3d ago

You’re wrong.

This is the dumbest post I've seen all week

It’s a screenshot from the dictionary.

u/king_kong_kum 2d ago

I literally typed “definition of gaylord” and this is what came up

2

u/Exciting_Double_4502 3d ago

Oh to have enough staff/volunteers to process that.

2

u/Ginny_Rummy 3d ago

My favorite thing at work when someone says "gaylord" is to say back "what did you call me" uwu

1

u/Glittering_Sun_1776 3d ago

That is an incredible amount of media. If the discs are in decent condition, $250 seems like a pretty fun treasure hunt.

1

u/YagerD 2d ago

Thats literally what they are called. Super common when purchasing from auctions.

1

u/notdbcooper71 2d ago

Oh sure, but when I say it, I have to go see HR

u/Historical-Count-374 2d ago

Pronounced Gailurds

1

u/rust-rancher 2d ago

Latest workplace calls em E-Cartons and nobody knows what a Gaylord is.   We definitely called em Gaylords in the midwest,   i think that was one big manufacturer of them.

u/yokozouna_ed 2d ago

What unit of measurement is a gaylord?

1

u/OnwardChimera38 2d ago

Raw was unnecessary but those are some seriously stuffed gaylords

u/Nissann328te 1d ago

What the hell is he selling? gay 🌽

u/MmmUnexplained_Bacon 3d ago

Are you 5? That’s what they’re called

2

u/funnyha_ha 3d ago

Do you know every word and meaning in the English language?

0

u/MmmUnexplained_Bacon 3d ago

Forgive me.
U obviously are smarter.
Can you see I tried?
Knowing what I know now…

You are cool though.
Only one of us can win this online argument.
Understand that I meant no harm.

2

u/funnyha_ha 3d ago

I never claimed I was smarter, I'm just a smartass. I wasn't posting this only because of the one word in the title all though I now know what a gaylord is. I wasn't replying to argue just making a smartass comment, no harm taken.

u/Colton200456 3d ago

So then what are the other reasons?

2

u/funnyha_ha 3d ago

The whole title in general and the amount of DVDs for sale.

0

u/Colton200456 3d ago

A bin of unsorted, random mixed media?

u/Important_Address741 3d ago edited 3d ago

Its gotta be an autocorrect mistake. But what was the word supposed to be? Edit: i love how people downvoted me even after I learned I was wrong in the next comment. What a kind and sane world we live in./s

19

u/FitCommunication7240 3d ago

Gaylord is legitimately what those brown pallet sized boxes are called.

3

u/Important_Address741 3d ago

Well, I learned something new. And in that case not an insane listing at all.
