Alright WotC, fess up...who came up with "Emerald Frost"?

[Kunimatyu]

Alright, whose fault is this one? C'mon, fess up -- you came to that design meeting drunk, didn't you?

 

[Reaper Steve]

Hey, you got your ice in my acid!
No, you got your vitriol in my frost!

 

[Sir Brennen]

Everyone keeps calling the proper names in the article "cheesy", but seriously, what would examples of non-cheesy fantasy monikers be?

(Assume Latin was never a root language for the fantasy world in question.)

Someone just drank too much "caipirina" in the Fluffy Dep.

 

[Glyfair]

It's a pretty specific color. Maybe an artist was at the meeting. That or maybe someone was reading a Marvel comic book at the meeting and was almost caught by an unexpected question.

"Smith, what should we call this magic style?"

"Huh? Ummm...Emma Frost?"

"Emerald Frost...that's good. Keep that!"

I suck at chemistry. Is there any type of acid that is actually green?

Lime juice.

Yep, and even that isn't green because of the citric acid...

 

[AdmundfortGeographer]

I don't get the umbrage over the name. *shrug* A big ol' non-factor to me.

 

[F4NBOY]

Lime juice.

I think that's artificially coloured.
Anyway, Emerald Frost sounds like a refreshing drink.
