We call it DC more or less so you dont have to specify the city or the state, and also because theres really nothing else in the District of Columbia.
I dont know much about poetry so I could be wrong, but ive never heard anyone refer to the US as Columbia.

Quote:New Zealand Happy Hobbits: I love the idea of a team in New Zealand, and I love the Lord of the Rings. This is such a nice team name proposed by the cheerful Tesla, but I don’t think it is appropriate for a football team
Fair.
Genuinely though I love the work that went into this as I really dig media pieces that dig into point tasks to analyze them. Fantastic job friend!

A few reactions:
1) I learned that my friend has an unhealthy obsession with Malamutes…didn’t see that coming…
“After talking about sled dogs at length, the author went with Mush instead of Anchorage Malamutes, the beautiful dogs that are closely related to Huskies…Malamutes is a much better name than Huskies though, as I feel Huskies is already overused.”
2) A few great new catch phrases emerged from this article:
“Russian farm animals don’t appeal to me at all”
“Blue Penguins are cooler than regular penguins.”
And my personal favorite: “Why are the Mammoths mean?”
3) RIP to these submitters and your dreams of getting the affirmation you were craving from Mith:
Slough Grays: This submission went for bland and forgettable
Antarctica Mosquitos: One of the worst submissions, period.
New England GOATs: A butthurt Patriots fan living in the past
Portland Thinkers: Just terrible. Wikipedia lists 100+ locations of copies of the Thinker statue featured on this team’s logo. None of those statues are in Portland.
Helena Jalapenos: The tackiest of alliteration. So bad. No connection between the pepper and the city. Not even the best hot pepper to start with an “h” sound, though Helena Habaneros would have been only marginally better.
Hollyweed Suns: Just dumb.
Overall a fun read – nice work!

Why let a few human right violations get in the way of a good team name?
