That's Interesting ;-) I was sort of joking. I remembered them because of a Memrise note. Hope we can come up with better name. Edited by benbassist on 11 December 2012 at 9:04pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I kinda started to like the sound of 悟り.

Tamagotchi might be a step too far, but how about 卵 - since we are all eggs hoping to hatch into fully fledged Japanese speakers, right? Or is this just a continuation of my previous food filled post?

Some ideas for team names:
Kakkoe-! Kimo-kawa Kizuna Wabisabi Onsen Wa (harmony) Seyanen! (Osaka dialect) I'm half-kidding with that last one. Edited by kujichagulia on 12 December 2012 at 1:30am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Team name...
Harakiri and Kamikaze are instantly recognizable but unfortunately the suicide thing may send across the wrong message. Same with Seppuku. Katana? Well known, powerful, and even a bit menacing ;) Fugu, as the fish you better don't mess with? Banzai, or "togeki-raigeki" (torpedo attack!) in the short form "Tora!" (how famous was Fleischer's film)? Now, TSUNAMI is powerful and even if it's not ultra-short it has become almost a synonym of ANNIHILATION as a loanword in every language -- I can't think of anything that summarizes better the spirit of the TAC. What do you guys think? Would that make the other teams pee their pants on sight or what? Edited by mrwarper on 12 December 2012 at 5:15am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I don't think the name has to be ultra-short, just short enough to leave room for a few more words in the log-title. Tsumani is fine by me. Everyone knows what it means and it clearly fits in with the idea of annihilation.
Tsunami gets my vote. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I kinda agree with 津波 as well.

Tsunami is not bad but I am worried it could be seen as somewhat insensitive by Japanese
people. I wouldn't want to say to a Japanese person, "I'm on Team Tsunami". It does fit with "annihilation" though, that's for sure. I guess my vote stays with the Satori/Zen theme. I was thinking of changing my desktop wallpaper to reflect the Team name, which would be quite easy to do with Zen. 1 person has voted this message useful |
