Now this is a name change I can get behind!
I would definitely prefer The Gulf Of Fucking Conan, or The Gulf Of Fucking High On Fire, but if someone sails me out to The Gulf Of Fucking SLAYER I’m still going to enjoy it.
They still haven’t actually updated it on all the government sites though.

It’s fucking embarrassing, honestly. I hope whomever is president next reverses all of the BS executive orders. Like, day 1. You could argue that there’s far more important things to be doing than changing the Gulf of Mexico back to being the Gulf of Mexico, and you’d be right, but doing it on day 1 (along with everything else - just write one executive order that undoes every EO from the prior admin) sends the (important) message that there was nothing of value done by the prior admin, and the legitimacy of the administration is not even being entertained for a moment.
Some people will argue that reversing everything would set a precedent for future governments.
Fuck those people.
It has already been proven that the republicans have no intention of honoring previous decisions. There is no high road any longer. Everything must go.
Yeah… “We can’t undo all of the unprecedented shit the previous admin did because it would set a precedent for future admins” is just about the stupidest argument I can think of. Tear it all down and start from scratch, clearly what we have isn’t working.
day 1 should be a revocation of all his executive orders.
day 2 should be applying some new ones. like Epstein Island being called pedoisland. and Maralago being renamed the Donald J Trump Library of pedophilia.
day 3 should be a round up of all the assholes that have allowed this shitshow to continue, and summarily tried, charged, and publicly executed.
“from this day forth, all toilets in this kingdom shall be known as “donalds””
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Although, it’s a good change from Shithouse.
how about dirty donalds
Eh, pedoisland is too conservative.
Make it be called Pedo Land.
No, rename it to the gulf of Barack Hussein Obama, just to troll him. Same with the Kennedy center. And the East Wing crater or whatever they’re pretending that’ll be.
Guys I named this the Gulf of Your Mom like six years ago. That’s its name. Get with it.
Gulf of Egg Prices is pretty good.
Maybe Gulf of Epstein?
Can’t believe it’s been renamed for a year now!
It hasn’t.
This feels like it might devolve into a discussion about where the legitimate authority to name things derives from. brb popcorn.
it derives from me. fuck all y’all and i ain’t decided to change it. my ego is bigger you can tell because i ain’t slathered in orange clown grease.
Not really. It’s just that only a lunatic fringe in the US calls it the Gulf of America. They can also call the country the Uber Stupendous Amazingistan, if nobody else ro-ro with that, it’s as good as nonexistent.
Point being, while there is no legitimate authority, usage is what makes it official.
About 30 years ago, a local company paid for the naming rights of the county arena and event center. The amount was so absurdly low that I found it insulting. I decided that it didn’t pay me to call it that, but I’m open to offers. In any case, everybody knows what I mean when I say “Coliseum and Expo Center.”
So for years now, I’ve been thinking that we need to create a web site or app that we can use to reach consensus on what places should be called. None of this corporate name claptrap. If we the citizens pay for a pro sports stadium with our taxes, then we can call it what want! If enough people decide on a place’s name, that’s common usage, and that simply becomes what it’s called.
not really
discusses the issue
Given how many places here in Europe have had several names throughout history depending on who occupied the territory at the time, and that country usually still calling that place that today regardless of what it’s officially called today by its current occupier, the answer is that everyone can do whatever they want. Language differences mean you often have to translate the name anyway.
Like, Mexico City is about as wrong as Gulf of America from a Mexican perspective, it’s not exactly labelled Ciudad de Mexico is it.
I mean there’s a merit to translating names that still keep the original meaning, as with Mexico City/Ciudad de Mexico.
The better question is why is it not called Tenochtitlan.
Yeah, also it just fucks harder to say Tenochtitlan is the largest city in North America. Mexico City sounds so new despite it just being the continuation of the Aztec city. But it’s nobody’s business but the Mexicans
