I should have known I wouldn’t be the first to think of this

One would see it as a wall, one would see it as a tree trunk, one would see it as a snake, one would see it as a rope, one would see it as a spear.

It would make sense in context, if you’re talking about a video or video tape. Otherwise it would get confused with a cassette tape player.

Literally no one called them VHSs. They were just called video tapes. The players were called VCRs.
