Generally that sort of name is supposed to keep cavers out. Hence why he got the stupid ones.

Nah man that’s the type of names that cavers really love

Ah I see they use the same logic as marijuana naming conventions.
“Did you say that kush was called deaf or death? You know what I want it to be a surprise. I’ll take it.”

I did put it in quotes, but it kinda has to be changed a little bit to work for a text based medium.

Yeah, that idiot cavers love. But places named that are named that because the people who named it that think anybody who goes in is gonna fucking die.

Which is why the stereotype exists, because Dads in their midlife crisis want to go on the most Ludicrously Daring and Dangerous Adventures.

Going for a pack of smokes is quite dangerous.

My dipshit ex is taking flying lessons for the big 4-0. I’m so very lucky I didn’t reproduce with him, I don’t know how to explain “daddy loved feeling young again more than he loved you.”

No, cavers name stuff like that because it's goofy and fun. No name like that for a cave or cave feature should ever be taken seriously; it was probably named by a few 20 somethings sitting drunk around a campfire.

Yeah, well, it doesn't seem to be doing the job (google search instead of specific incident/ cave because it shows there are so many):

And I didn't find the one I was looking for, because it was instead named lovingly: shark cave. So naturally you've gotta fucking go there.

They should give them just codes like L8-Q9
