      Looking for a name for a project. If I search a possible name and the first hit is Urban Dictionary, that's probably not a good candidate... (No I'm not elaborating :))

      Even if you find a good name and manage to be on the first page of Google, someone can always come and make a Holywood film and push you to page 17. Right @Azumanga? :)

      I don't care which page I'm on, I just don't want to accidentally name it something filthy :)

          In a number of years, you'll write a commentary paper about your extremely successful project Podshaver and mention IanG as the source of the name. This twitter thread is history in the making. (I warn you, he has done it before: https://freuder.files.wordpress.com/2019/09/shaw_cp98.pdf …)

          I had exactly the same thought! I'd prefer to get the credit in the original paper though so I don't have to wait 20 years to make sure my memory was correct!
