The Scumback Attenuator name thread and giveaway...

Post by Scumback Speakers » Tue Feb 04, 2014 9:45 pm

As some of you may have heard, I've bought the Alex Attenuator product from Alex Ortner, Metro member 908SSP. I'm going to rename the product if I can find a good one for it.

Obviously we can't name it something too nasty...Psycho Muzzle, or Turn Down That Amp, some will be offended.

But it ought to be some fun...right?

With that I've decided not to put names up for you to choose from. I'd rather see if some of the Metro members can come up with a name that is memorable, catchy, and descriptive.

I've got one of my own...the Scumback Silencer, but I imagine the rest of you will have ideas as well.

No, you can't call it the Scumback Bitch Slap...I'll hear about that forever. And that also means the Wife Pleaser or Panty Twister is out.

But here's where it gets fun. I'm going to give away an attenuator to whoever comes up with the name I go with.

So there it is. Try to be creative and marketable.

You've got 2 weeks to fill in your answer before I close the thread...unless I hear a name that wins me over earlier.

I think you should somehow reference the original name since it has a well built up reputation. How about...

or...

The Wife Pleaser

edit: I see now you ruled that out already in the intro...and here I thought I was being creative and original, when it was just subliminal regurging... :what:

Let's go with the Alexuator then.

Scumback Alexuator

Totally agree with this :thumbsup:

If Alex is ok with it that is.

His product is well respected and already known in the market place. Sometimes when a product is successful you have to run with it and it's reputation, anything else is a step back.

Great names, sir...but...uh...it's Leveler (not two LL's) and I already came up with that one myself on the TGP thread.

But Pacifier and Shhhh! are definitely in the running for names.
