Imagine you have a new design for an encabulator and want to come up with
a name for the product. The following terms are already used:

Turbo: Someone used it many years ago on a product that turned out to be
a real turkey.

Super: We used this as an adjective years ago and the new one is ~10
times better than this product.

Ultra: Someone else used this as a name of a product.


Extra: Will translate as a spare in some cases.


Is there another obvious adjective I have missed.


--

Hyper.

Or how about quantum? Signifying that a "quantum leap" has occurred, and the old stuff can't
even compare?

Or just give it a letter. For example, 'M' or 'RS'. These seem to be cool
letters right now. 'X' is also cool.

Hello Geodanah,


When I drove through Spain for the first time I couldn't stop laughing
for a while. They had these "Hypermercados". Probably the next step up
from "supermarket". Thing is, many of them were hardly bigger than a
mid-size house.

Regards, Joerg

Thats one of the nice things about Spain

The encabulator redefined.
The final encabulator.
The encabulator period.
The encabulator Pro.

Or renaming existing encabulators -> encabulator Classic
Oh, you're still fiddling with the Classic encabulator?

Or a different name altogether, the tribulator.

Hello OBones,
We also have them in France:

Supermarché
Hypermarché

And there is a difference in size, I can tell you.

Well, in France, yes. I haven't really seen anything as big as a
Carrefour yet. Maybe the Walmart Supercenters but we don't have those
around here.

Now I am hungry again, craving a real Camembert and not the pasteurized
stuff.

Regards, Joerg

Hello Martin,

It's a nice country. Friendly people. Sometimes a bit too urban or
modern for my taste which is why I felt more at home in Portugal.

Well, go tell your congressman that bacterias are a good thing and that
cheese should not be sold in an hemertically sealed plastic package
stored at 3degrees Celsius ;-)

Hum... I'm assuming you're in the US, but you might well be in Australia
as well, they have similar crazy laws about what they think is good or
food...

Ah, memories of the Sinclair QL (quantum leap) that revolutionised
British home computing in the 80s.

How about reviving some of the Victorian terms, acme, paragon, zenith, crux?

You are obviously in superlative overload. The only thing you can do is
go back to the basics and call it the "plain old".

Isn't that usually postfixed "classic"?

From Microsoft it will be "Ultimate SE".

I was watchin the linux loosers at work the other day. WE all got new
PC's with 2 LCD's. MY PC, XP Sp2, i used the default HP graphics card
plus the on-board graphics card. I plugged the monitors in and they
both worked, first go.

The linux loosers, well, first they googled for two days, then they
ordered new expensive dual-head video cards, then 2 weeks later when
the cards arrived, they fucked around for another two days to get it
working.

Yet linux is a commercial success they tell me?? Pffft..
