popmaize

Where it comes from

From pop + maize, after popcorn.

noun popmaizes

rare, uncountable Synonym of popcorn (“snack food”). It is called “maizypop” because the Londoners call what we term corn maize and refuse to call it anything else. Therefore it is necessary to name our popcorn “popmaize,” or, more euphoniously, “maizypop,” on that side. Under any other name it would be just as palatable, but might not be as easily ad
Similar: popcorn
