flatiron > flat tire

There’s a notable building in Toronto that’s called the Flatiron Building (yes, I know there’s one similar in NY, and for the same reason of shape). I just heard my barber—originally from Italy but in Toronto for a good 30 years—call it the Flat Tire Building. And his barber shop is one block from the building in question.
