Can We Please Stop Using Euphemistic Names for Lightsabers?

[Psab keel]

It's essentially shorthand.

 

[Tan Djarka]

Some are a little witty. Some are just dumb. Ultimately, I don't care one way or the other.

 

[Psab keel]

Honestly this whole thread is just a mild gripe that really needs to be merged into the Venting thread.

 

[NakedMoleRat]

Don’t. Don’t even get me started.

I don’t dislike it.
I don’t hate it.
I LOATHE IT.
I think it is the absolute STUPIDEST GD GARBAGE I have ever heard. I literally feel like I’m getting stupider every time I see/read them.

Trash lightsaber names I would feel ashamed and embarrassed saying if I ever actually used in conversation are but not limited to:

Skinny-flex
Rey-flex
Obi-flex
Creepy Uncle
Broken-flex
Youngling Slayer 9000
Ani-flex
Faux-flex
Reforged-flex
ROTS-flex
Stunt-flex
RAF-flex
Etc…

It isn’t that difficult. Just use the character name and specific movie/show, and add detail if necessary; Anakin EP3, Rey EP7, Rey EP9, Anakin EP3 stunt, Luke TLJ, Luke Mando Season 3, Luke BoBF, and so on.

You forgot the Dar Krey saber! Lol

Time for my annual apology for adding "Creepy Uncle" to the lexicon. I was mad at TLJ. I'm sorry.

Regional Manager is my favourite product name. Maul's TPM and an obscure reference to Bad Lip Reading.

 

[Luuke]

Yes, outside of this forum, call em what you want. Here on the RPF please for the love of Crom just reference the character, source and maybe makers name. Is it a few more words? Yes. But at least it’s more accurate as to who they belong to.
Eg: Luke, ANH, Romans or Maul, TPM, Master Replicas or Dark Rey, TLJ, EFX, etc, you get the point. Just please stop with the corny names here.

Youngling Slayer 9000

This one especially annoys me because I feel like it reduces an important scene and a lightsaber with a LONG history into "tehee lol". Could just be a random pet peeve of mine though

 

[TheWolfhound]

I'm quite interested in the Bluke Starfluber Laser Stick. Anybody got one to sell?

Pssh "Creepy Uncle" was a stroke of genius. And I like TLJ. Lol

No, but I have a genuine Luke Skywealker from SLAW WARS made out of actual LAGO bricks.

It will always be the creepy uncle.. I don’t care what anyone says

 

[Treadwell]

I thought at first you said "I will always be..." and I'm sick enough to find that funny.

The Youngling Slayer 6000 is canon, if I’m not mistaken.

Oh, it was totally justified. You deserve a medal.
