I will say there is a difference. minigolf doesnt have any windmills, or things moving, or extra holes to hit it in, its just a green that is really curvey, with water or sandtraps.

putt putt has windmills in the way, clowns, multiple holes that lead different spots, things to hit through etc.

(jmo, whats yours?)
also which is more fun?

o and btw minigolf rapes putt putt in terms of a googlefight

Putt Putt is what my aunt from NC calls it so I'm guessing there is a minigolf chain by that name...

Or Kleenex for tissues.

What about when the English say 'Cellotape' for adhesive tape, huh?

Kleenex is probably the most common brand name that's used as a generic term. Xerox used to be used when referring to a copy machine when they were the only ones as well. Kind of like the morons in the South that use Coke to mean any soda even though Coke is a specific brand of soda.

I would say band-aid or scotch tape are as common if not more so.
