    “Computer Science” is a terrible name for the field. I know it’s called something like “Infomathics” in German and that’s yards better.

    Londoners have it right: Underground rail should be called as such and “subway” reserved for passages that go under roads.

    Koalas aren’t bears, and we shouldn’t call them bears. I propose “Koala Monster”, like the Gila Monster, or Cookie Monster.

    And finally, I’d rename anything named after Andrew Jackson, the most genocidal US president. And if they let me keep going, anything named after William Henry Harrison, our second most genocidal president.

      In dutch physics used to be called “Nature Science” (natuurwetenschappen). I always preferred that over “physics” :)

    I’d call wasps “terrifying vindictive pain machines”.
