However The Edsel is pretty catchy as well.
Title: The leading proposed new name for the F-35 JSF
Post by: Replicant on June 01, 2006, 01:31:48 PM: Since some variants of the JSF will hover I'd choose something that demonstrates the aircrafts capability. The forerunner of the Harrier was the Kestrel and that's what I'd call it. Perhaps another falcon type of name for the conventional aircraft?

The F-35 Pothead

I've still to come up with one that addresses the vertical takeoff capabilities of the Marine model, but I'll get back to you as soon as I have a candidate.

Hacker Slang

1. [TMRC] v. To attack with an inverse heat sink.

2. [TMRC] v. To travel, with v approaching c [that is, with velocity approaching lightspeed —ESR].

3. [MIT] v. To propel something very quickly. “The new comm software is very fast; it really zorches files through the network.”

4. [MIT] n. Influence. Brownie points. Good karma. The intangible and fuzzy currency in which favors are measured. “I'd rather not ask him for that just yet; I think I've used up my quota of zorch with him for the week.”

5. [MIT] n. Energy, drive, or ability. “I think I'll punt that change for now; I've been up for 30 hours and I've run out of zorch.”

Post by: Chairboy on June 01, 2006, 04:37:01 PM: Wait! I have it!

This is the answer.

As the F-35 is designed to be a relatively inexpensive, modern fighter, the obvious choice of the name becomes clear.

The F-35 Zergling.

That is all.
