I hate these mid-level pencil-pushers that "aren't personally offended" but terribly fear others might be.

There's an airline named Virgin, a morning-after pill "Plan B", one of SpaceX's vessels is called "Of Course I Still Love You", and the Secret Service uses a weapon called YAR ("Yet another rifle"). Insisting everything should be named "Widget X2000-F1" is the telltale sign of mediocrity.

Every time I see "The Boring Company" mentioned somewhere, I crack a smile. The business world needs more fun and liveliness, so I'm appreciative when someone names a product something neat.
