Recently someone chose looksmaxxing as their last place subject, and quite against our will, we had to find out what looksmaxxing is.

Going to extremes to optimise your appearance is bad enough. But apparently the maxxing trend has spread into other area. Healthmaxxing, fibremaxxing, gymmaxxing, they’re all fads that some people are taking way too seriously.

For your team names this week, we want you to come up with something else people can max.

Sleepmaxxing

Sarcasmmaxxing

Legomaxxing

Bookmaxxing

Weebmaxxing

Lazymaxxing

Anything people could take too seriously and turn into a trend will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.
