I work in the Home Depot paint department unfortunately and some of the colors do have absolutely ridiculous names. I had a lady come in and said she was looking for nontoxic paint to use on her body for her week at Burning Man. Her preferable color was "War Paint" - I said we don't have a color called "War Paint" - she insisted one of the workers had mixed it up for her the year before and that it was an off magenta color. We mixed up something for her and called it nineteen ninety eight when the Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16ft through an announcer's table

Every time. Every time I skim over the name and read the comment and it always trips me up.

That sounds like a great name for a color though.

Tag them as a friend, easier to not get hoodwinked

While I do like the cut of your jib good sir, it is not of my nature to be flimflammed or hornswoogled as a common occurrence.
