No, it’s LEGO bricks. LEGO is the brand name. If you want to be pedantic AND correct, you should be referring to them as “LEGO Brand construction bricks”, though if you’re referring to a boxed set, it’s “LEGO brand construction brick playset”.
Or you could just not be douchey about it. Either way there is no connection to dice/die.
I suppose the correct pedantic way to say it is “Lego bricks” even in the plural. But brevity in titles is a thing I strive for. Less so in the comments section. Also marbles. Marbles feel surprisingly sharp for spheres when stepped upon.

I mean, i just say legos and don’t get all fucking judgy about what other people say.
I do also get all judgy about other people getting judgy about what people say in this case, but i feel justified in that behavior.

You could also just say legos, because the only reason the company cares about it is to prevent genericization of a term that makes them money.

That was what was implied by my “don’t be douchey about it” suggestion :)

The average peasant (so all of us) has 4hp. A lucky d4 roll can instantly kill a peasant in game. An unlucky d4 roll (i.e. going off the table) can instantly kill a peasant (D&D player) irl.

So you’re saying that not even a D4 likes to use itself for a damage die?
