Many years ago, a chap of our good acquaintance had a stroke which sadly left him with some cognitive and speech issues.
He kept asking his wife to rent him a vulture much to her dismay. It took a while for the penny to drop that somehow his brain had confused the words "video" and "vulture".
In our circle of friends, to this day, videos and subsequently DVDs are referred to as vultures.
This confuses those who don't know why.
