[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9181687, member: 7006"] What's the point of trying to come up with a new name here? It doesn't matter what gets voted on... you would need that word to be incorporated across hundreds of different articles, blogs, and stories that reference the terminology for it to ever hope of sticking. And least Justin HAS multiple dozens of articles and such that reference the technique and anyone who goes searching for it (using either 'Jacquaying' or 'Xandering') are going to get pointed to his work... all of which will now use the 'Xandering the Dungeon' phrase. But even more to the point... who gives a rat's ass what term is used? Or who it's "named" after? If the term becomes ubiquitous, most people who end up using it will have absolutely zero idea where it came from. I mean heck... I see the words "face" and "heel" used as descriptors over every possible thing being discussed nowadays, and I guarantee you most of the writers who use those words only do so because they've been added to the English lexicon and they no idea that they were originally [I]professional wrestling[/I] terms. And how many people know when they say "going to 11" that that is actually a reference to Spinal Tap? Sure, a lot of us Olds know that... but everybody else just use it because it's a standard descriptive phrase now. And eventually 'Xandering the Dungeon' could reach that status and no one will know where it was originally from. So why care so much about it that you want to somehow try and force a change?
