I was trying to find out if there was a single word to mean the bumper at the end of a parking spot. [Sunny Brook Pressed Concrete] Parking bumper is a little unwieldy, and wheel chock seems to be more about airplanes or trailers than general parking spaces.
Teddy bears are, of course, named after US President Theodore Teddy Roosevelt. The name came about after a 1902 hunting expedition. The hunt had found no game, so at the end of the day someone brought out a baby bear and suggested that Roosevelt might like to shoot it instead.
The bear was Christopher Robin's inspiration for calling his own teddy bear Winnie... Winnie the Pooh (this teddy bear started out with the name of Edward Bear). The name Pooh originally belonged to a swan, as can be seen in the introduction of Milne's 'When We Were Very Young'.
