    There must be a fair few that have made it to production over the years.

    For starters – Kona’s Muni Mula (produced 1997 – 2002) named after aluminum spelt backwards. 🙂

    Anything by Cove obviously. The legendary wit of calling a bike “Mung”, “Donkey-Felcher”, “Cockring”, “Jism-spattered-tits” and indeed “Viagra Hard-On”. Always cracks me up. 😉

    All the Voodoo frames are named after Voodoo deities – I spent quite an interesting lunchbreak finding out what they all were.

    Wasn’t there a challenger for the DOGSBLOX called a DONKEYSNOB?

    Or was that just teenage wishful thinking?

    No, I can’t remember what DONKIS NOB meant!

    Of course! Roberts. They were quality at the time. I wonder how many are still around.
    Yates was the poor relation really. Bloke at work had a Yates Diabolus in red/black fade. Looked nice.
    Good name too.

    The Cove stuff makes me cringe, ideal for teenagers but I am over 20 thanks.

    I do like the old SBC names – a certain naivety and innocence to them.

    I’m sure there are some genuinely witty component names but I cannae remember them.

    Whyte PRST-1

    explain?

    Means ‘finger’ in Czech? Doesn’t strike me as particularly witty…

    TBH I’m not big on such names.

    When Humphry Davy first isolated the element he called it aluminum. However as many other elements had the suffix -ium, this was also applied to aluminium on both sides of the atlantic. In the early 20th century the Americans reverted to calling it aluminum, and both descriptions are now accepted by the official body which oversees such things. So neither is right or wrong, and in fact it could be argued aluminum is more correct as that’s what Davy called it.
