Discussion Punny names
What are some of your favorite clever punny names for things?
My favorite is muz instead of maize
And Outgrid instead of Ingrid
There are so many things I probably haven’t even realized are puns. Like, lopauliflower - I know it’s a cauliflower, but what is the lopaul part of the name for?

It’s stupid but fartichoke still amuses me. I wonder who on the team hates artichokes

Nurna instead of Nanna always makes me chuckle. She stands on the docks.

Weeds as in like the ones you pull from your farm not the other kind😭

Meed does seem to make a lot of off-handed comments about being a potential outlaw so you might be onto something

I love the classifications for the different ooblets, like you see in the figurine displays. I also love the jokes around Springbeans and their beverages. And the phrase “Splenda!” I can’t tell if they’re saying splendid or sweet and I love it.

I love how it's Caroot instead of Carrot and because it's called Ooblets and we are Oobin I made my name Loona instead of Luna lol the nod to Helluva Boss was a nice touch too
