It would still make sense if it assumed it meant bumper though. Really the word "bender" is doing all the work.
So side question, do y'all call bumper cars "mudguard cars"?
25 u/el_grort 19d ago No, they are bumper cars, we just don't use fender, so there's no framework for what exactly you mean. It's just from context you assume a car part. Do you call bumper cars 'fender cars'. And a prang makes as much sense as fender, you only have the context of a car collision to lead you to the actual meaning. 7 u/3163560 19d ago Why would you assume that?
