Parsey McParseface is a great name.
- chubot 10y agoYeah I noticed that :) Is this a Simpsons reference? Can't quite place it.
- koide 10y agoGoogle for Boaty McBoatFace
- chipperyman573 10y agoNope, Boaty McBoatface[0] [0] http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/05/boaty-mcboatface-parliament-lessons/482046/ http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/05/boa...
- UK-AL 10y agoHavent heard about Boaty McBoatface?
- worldsayshi 10y agoI kind of feel that it dates further back?
- QuercusMax 10y agoDefinitely; I think it's originally from Friends (possibly in a slightly different form; Xey McXerson). Haven't tracked down the exact reference, but it's well over a decade old. http://www.duetsblog.com/2016/03/articles/trademarks/namey-mcnamerson-what-happens-when-you-crowdsource-names/ http://www.duetsblog.com/2016/03/articles/trademarks/namey-m...

- dharbin 10y agoXey McXface is a canary for detecting naming contests within an organization.
- jdright 10y agoAnd also a good template for naming things! Thanks.
- throwanem 10y agoNot only that, but now you have a solid natural language parser to tell whether you need the optional 'e' before the 'y' in the first word!
- vinceguidry 10y agoSomeone write a Parsey McParseface-backed JSON API that does that.
- infogulch 10y agoA reference to the new polar ship that was publicly voted to be named 'Boaty McBoatface', but the science minister is too stuck up to roll with it[0]. [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11642618 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11642618
- djsumdog 10y agoThey did name one of them Boaty..the tiny one / unmanned sensor drone. :-/ Vote for boaty! He's keepin hope afloat! http://shirt.woot.com/offers/vote-for-boaty http://shirt.woot.com/offers/vote-for-boaty
- TeMPOraL 10y agoI wonder what's with that X McXface thing. Yes, I've heard something about Boaty McBoatface (whatever that is), but is the Boatface thing original, or is it some kind of obscure American meme?
- ChrisClark 10y agoIt wasn't the original, and yes there is a sort of meme like it. Not always -face though. I've heard Beardy McBeardson, the pattern is usually X-y Mc-X-somthing.
- solipsism 10y agoSince Boaty McBoatface is a British ship, why would you assume it's an obscure American meme? Just kidding! As an American, I can say it's a decent assumption :D
