Do Our Work For Us - Naming contest
17At some point in the near to distant future we’re going to be having events where we sell something and when that thing sells out we sell something else, like a relay race where they hand off that baton thing but the baton thing is a piece of crap we're selling.
The problem is we can’t think of a good name - Mehxtravaganza is too hard to say and stupid, so don't suggest that.
Another problem is that we’re lazy, old, and sleepy so we figured hell, why not just make you do all the hard work?
Submit your ideas for what we should call this thing, vote on your favorites and we'll pick the one we like.

A meh-rathon?
Let's be honest. We have our winner right here.
a meh-rathon, or 'mehrithon? it would seem more patriotic.
@saramwrap So good. First comment, winner.
In that other thread where this came up I suggested it be called 'A Day Of Mehxcess"
How about a (Meh)scapade?
MehPalooza?
Meh-ny sales

schadenfreude - pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. This word is taken from the German language. The literal English translation is 'Harm-Joy'.
schadenfreude.com. someone call Larry, it looks like mediocre has their new experiment.
plaatsvervangende schaamte - Feeling a sense of shame on behalf of someone else, usually for someone who seems oblivious to his failure

I suppose we can't call it a Woot-Off, huh?
Or a Meh-Off, I guess...
No, but we could call it a jack-off. Then the shirt "detour" could be a circle-jerk.

@marklog CWAP it is:)

Big Fat Honkin' Meh.
Meh-rathon seems solidly in the lead, so I'm gonna stop making up names. However, I do think that if/when you guys offer up a Bag of Meh the place people who didn't get one can go and complain should be f.meh.com :)
I take pride in making other people lose hope.
Meh. ;)
ha! I really like the idea of the f.meh.com domain. @dave, can't you do something creative-y with that?
f.meh.com sounds like the perfect place for the forums
or just an email domain: gratuitousorderconfirmation@f.meh.com, support@f.meh.com...
How about a Jack-Meh-Off instead of the familiar w00t off?
This could work if you name the Cool Troll Jack!

Aside from all the other good suggestions, it could be called a Meh Fest, or meh-fest (all lower case seems fitting, actually), mehfest, or even mehfestoff.
In the spirit of 'meh' then wouldn't the next step be 'bleh'?

How about: Lame-a-thon
Or a "Lame off" to sound like some other site.
Lastly a combo: Meh's Lame-a-thon lame off
Whatever.
A more enthusiastic "Meh." that takes a little more work to get out.
I love the Meh-rde idea submitted by previous poster (too lazy to scroll up & find his/her name). Or "Much Meh-rde".
I'm going with Mehlanomad because it's completely nonsensical and quite frankly we all know the first entry won.
Mehltdown
Damn I'm good
Random Circus of Meh
Meh-ja vu
Literally Meh deal Déjà vu...
The more I think of it, the more awesome my idea becomes. I wish I could star it another time!
Mehrathon is pretty good, but here are some reasons Mehltdown is better:
1) It's only 2 syllables; easier to make a clever jingle with!
2) The theme is easy; banner could read "It's a Mehltdown!" and have a mushroom cloud with "meh" in it. The percent remaining could be styled as a temperature gauge. "We have too many crappy items to sell, so we're having a Mehltdown!"
3) Marathons are tedious and boring. Meltdowns indicate imminent danger and excitement. 'splosions!
What a great idea. Self high-five!
I think a meh-rathon implies the sale will keep going, whereas a mehltdown sounds like they're headed for failure... or overheated servers.
@saramwrap Then mehltdown is more accurate.
and what...they have images of runners going towards a finish line? Or people standing by the phones for donations? Nah...'splosions!
@patti Server mehltdowns seem like the hallmark of that other site. Meh perseveres.

"several people were hurt in the melee"
I like this one.
It kind of fits.... cause we'd be Mehlee-ing the poor servers for Fukubukuros.. ^.^;
I like that it's a thing so we can say "it's a Mehlee" or "they're having a Mehlee" similar to Woot-Off.
Most of these you can't do that.

It shouldn't have meh in the name. That's dumb.
You want the name to at least hint at the fact that you are selling junk. Mehrathon or Ambivalanche do not do that.
It should be called either a CRAP-A-THON or a SELL-A-THONG.
I like Crapathon.

You should sell naming rights to it. For example, "Meh Sale presented by Shiner Bock" -or- "Delta Air Lines American Express Credit Card Sale". Why avoid the inevitable of Meh selling out for millions of dollars a few years from now--followed shortly by the third rendition of an awesome deal-a-day site?

One flaw in your Meh plan...you have been SOOO Meh, that I believe you have only sold out of one item. A Mehrathon is useless if you can't sell out of the first item. :)

MEH-off
its not like you are copying anyone else seeing as you inventing this idea
Ambivalanche is good. Maybe too good, too slick for the likes of this place. But it also doesn't evoke quite the sense of chaos I'd expect from the event. Has anyone suggested "mehnado" yet? It has the added benefit of sounding like that weird soup.
The more I've considered it, the more I think calling it a "fuck-off" would be awesome on many levels.
But if you selected "mehrathon," could I come to Texas and ring the bell on first opening? I'll bring confetti.

Since you have so many speaker docks, and had those Beats by Dre headphones.. How about you call it a "Beat-Off"? (it's all about the music!)
Shameless bump. Wonder if this thing is on the horizon?
@KDemo My cousin, who knows a gal that works in the meh warehouse, says it's slated for Q7 of FY 2017.
@medz sounds legit
@medz - I'm gonna need a copy of your calendar - wait - are you saying it's like @studerc's prize and it gets postponed every time it's mentioned? Touché.
@KDemo stupid fucking "prize" haha
It shall be called. Meh-knee items for sale in succession.
I'm am little late to the party and I'm not going to read all 100+ posts but what about "Perpetual Disapoint-Meh-t". Meh-rathon is still the easies to say.
