Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 9 March 2025

You may have heard the story that the Trump administration has been so keen to eliminate DEI from government that it flagged a picture of the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshim for deletion because it was called the Enola Gay.

So for your team name this week, we want to know something else they can get rid of just in case comes across as too woke.

The Department of TRANSportation has to go

No more Christmas, because Deck the Halls has “gay apparel” in the lyrics

The All Blacks have to change their name

Rain is banned because it leads to rainbows

Museums shouldn’t have exhibits about homo sapiens

Any proposed bans will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

You’ve got a lot of strange addictions (some of which are quite understandable, and some of which are just odd)

Warm paper

Plucking my nose hairs

Hoof trimming videos

Doomscrolling

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team complained about not getting credit for an answer with the argument “but that’s what we meant”. Uhhhhhh… no.

When we have to explain at length that NRL and AFL are different, we don’t hold out much hope for you getting a lot of correct answers on a sport question.

If we ask you to think of words that end with OOPS, complaining us that some words don’t end in OOPS is not a great criticism.

And we’ve had a change at the top of the table of our quarterly tournament.
