O-Matic

Yesterday while having a quick look at the equipment the custodian at work was using to buff the floor of the office, I noticed that one of the cleaning machines was called the “Floor O-Matic”. I’m not sure what the O-Matic means – but I know I’ve come across many O-Matics. My friend Caterina has a cooking set that is called the “Cook O-Matic”. A coffee shop I used to frequent used a “Bunn O-Matic”. Elroy Jetson used to have an “Expand O-Matic” bag which he used to keep all of his nifty toys. So I guess an O-Matic is anything that helps you get your job done. And here I thought it meant the item was an Irish descendent of an automatic gadget.
