Monty Python got some good alliterative mileage out of that term in their movie “And Now For Something Completely Different.” One sequence in the movie is a fake WWII British newsreel, in black and white, with suitably bombastic narration that includes the opening line “Yes, the war against the Hun continues – and as Britian’s brave boys battle against the Boche…” By the standards of genuine WWII newsreels, that’s actually not as over-the-top as it sounds to modern ears. And during a real WWII deception operation, the fake letter from General Nye to General Alexander which was the centrepiece of the “Mincemeat” disinformation scheme used such phrases as “We have had recent information that the Boche have been reinforcing and strengthening their defences in Greece and Crete…”
Name my puppy!

So the doggy of one of my partners had a litter of 12 puppies, and i was thinking of purchasing them.
These are purebred golden retrievers. What’s a good name? I like one with some meat on it - for example, i thought a good name for my aunt and uncle’s Bouvier (a regal French breed with an historic ancestry) would be Charley - short for Charlemagne (Charles the Great. Also a play on “Mangy”). I named my friend’s friendly, relaxed dog “Loki” (god of mischief, also because it was a “low-key” dog, and also because we liked the word “lochia” - look it up).
Any ideas? -
Jibbo, Canuck, Loafer, Rocky, Jerky, Chip, Libby, Napo…

BTW, goldens are incredibly smart dogs. Had one growing up, and have one now. Trained the first one to ring a bell when she needed to go outside. This one I can balance food on her nose and she won’t eat it until I say so (I can even leave the room).

The decision on what to name a dog should include this test…
If you would not be embarrased wanderign around your neighborhood at 2 in the morning yelling the name while you look for your lost dog, then it is probably OK.

Don’t forget the test that includes figuring out your porn name from your pet and street names.
How about Willie or Mays for one of the best fielders (in baseball) ever?

I vote for “Killer”, “Fang” or “Death”

“Orgasm”
Calling your dog then becomes…
“Come here Orgasm! Where is my little Orgasm?”
Yep, definitely one you want to be yelling in the neighborhood at 2:00 a.m. :mrgreen:
