[QUOTE=yougetthesmiles]I was reading the thread "want teacup" and I would like to know what the difference is between a teacup, teeny, tiny, Yorkie? It's just a word, right? why can we say we have a "tiny" yorkie but not a "teacup" yorkie? They both mean the same thing IMO. What is it about teacup that people dont like? [QUOTE]
I am with you -- a rose by any other name...... I also think some people have different ideas of what a teacup or tiny is. I am not sure what the general consensus is on what size constitutes a tiny. Is a 3 pounder a tiny? Or is it under 3 pounds, under 2 pounds? Since there is "no such thing as a teacup" how do we know what it is anyway? Did that make sense? Maybe we need a scale: 0-1 pound (ultra-tiny) 1-2 pound (tiny) 2-3 pound (teacup), 3-7 pound (standard), 7-10 pounds (teapot), 10+ (teakettle). Now wouldn't that make it all easy?
Just a little tongue-in-cheek.
