By Naming a Thing, You Define That Thing

There’s been some discussion on the open threads of the site where we all met and fell in love, currently known as The Place That Shall Not Be Named (TPTSNBN).

(TPTSNBN) really isn’t a sexy acronym, is it? It needs some Don Draper spin, something easy to type, easy to remember, and of course it must reflect seventh-level black belt snarkitude, for which this site’s commenters are renowned far and wide.

Now that the gauntlet has been thrown down, let’s get to the serious business of renaming the old place. Some ideas to get us started:

  • Uncle Nick’s Trailer Park (UNTP)
  • Tea Bagger Trash Talk World (TBTTW)
  • Can’t Read For Comprehension (CRFC)
  • Not Up On World Affairs (NUOWA)
  • Content-Free Zone (CFZ)
  • Denton (see this video for the reference)

And my current favorite:

  • Peasantville (now with less Reese Witherspoon)

Now that the ball is rolling, let’s see what other names we can come up with.
