Contest to rename "PF Lounge" category

[fresh_42]

I vote now also explicitly for Eigenlounge

Reasons:

• It fits, as one of the most frequented forums is QM.
• It fits, as the "eigenworld" is THE essential part of physics: from classical resonances to QFT
• "eigen" is probably the most used word on PF (common language out of consideration)
• It fulfills the requirement that "Lounge" is still a part of it.
• Edit: And "eigen" means "belongs to", "is property of", "is invariant of self". Sounds perfect.
• It's fancy.
• It's short enough to make no problems fitting on the site.
• EL is a short cut we don't use otherwise.
• And last but not least: I can pronounce it correctly!

The forum at the end of universe, because it shows up at the bottom of the webpage and has a bit of pop culture. It's where we go to relax, not dive right back into physics.

Does not roll off the tongue although I like the Douglas Adams connection.

I agree with @Tom.G and @phinds. PF Lounge is I think the best and is what it is.
It reminds me of great looking women that have found their perfect type hair style ... and they insist on getting a new one! (for a change! ...). When they suddenly (with no warning) they finally do get it ... the disaster happens! and e.g. that's when marital and relationship problems begin ! ... (so to speak)

The category will stay how it is, but maybe we can be creative in its name. I refuse to believe I lazily came up with the best name possible

But you did!

However, if you really insist, I think "PF Lounge Cafè" is perhaps ideal.
The more complicated the more lame it gets, IMO.

 

[Stavros Kiri]

Perhaps we can keep the word "Lounge" in the title but can we make it a little more creative?

If it's the PF part you really want to replace then perhaps "Non-crackpot Science Lounge" ...
[That reminds (a small part of) PF rules as a handy echo, so that people don't foget in the lounge one of the main PF directives (and get really carried away) ...]

How about "Zero Kelvin Lounge"...cause its a chill relaxed place ?

A name is just a name. PF is not in status quo ...

How about "Zero Kelvin Lounge"...cause its a chill relaxed place ?

So chill that the threads won't even move!? ...
That would indeed bring "PF status quo"! ...

Ok I am feeling playful and going to make an executive decision! For the next 12 months I'll change the category name each month. I've picked out 10 so far. We need two more good/clever names. Keep it up!

And after 12 months? Back to square one?

Just maybe that's it: We should call it "Square one".
