Which would be better? Running out of ideas and going with "this, that, and that other street" or letting the internet name them "Streety McStreetface III"?
I think Canada made the right call, but also, "Streety McStreetface" would be awesome.
Why do we always vote for somethingMcSomethingFace when asked to name stuff? It's funny, but i never understood why we do that.
It started with BoatyMcBoatface, as far as I know. The winner for naming what became the Sir David Attenborough.
Iirc Boaty McBoatface actually won. The people holding the contest quickly learned asking the Internet to name your boat is a bad idea. Just like when Taylor Swift did a survey for folks to name where she should have a concert and the vote was overwhelming at a school for dead children.
But to the boat people's credit, they named one of the life boats Boaty McBoatface.
Amazing typo.
Ngl I didn't notice it.
I'm not changing it. It still works.
Took me longer than I care to admit.
