I was just looking for a birthday gift for my future son in law and ran across a novelty mug with the rock by the name of “ Cummingtonite”. Did no one from Cummington, MA see a problem with that name?

Is there a picture of the rock on the outside of the mug? What does it look like?
ETA - Doh! Googled it, it is a real rock, and it was named after the town by the same name in MA, where it was discovered in 1824.

Oh my!
I don't know if this was national or not, but there was a company here that played a million ads on the radio called Cum Dumpsters.

Yes, one of many mineral names with unintended meanings. Then, there is always kinoshitalite which can happen if you have a parisite, and of course, that might be accompanied by an episode of enflamed pyropissite, which can be allieviated by ordering some pastries from the cinnabar (if you have an apatite) or marmite (if you brought it from OZ - tho you'd have to sell your berthierite to find a jar around here), then throwing the wrappers into your samsonite and taking them to the eurekadumpite, which will be to the ramsdellite (though they'll eat just about anything).

I thought I heard most of the rock puns but, boy, was I wrong.
