Every week, wannabe namers from around the world stumble upon our Dream Jobs page and take our naming test to see if they have what it takes to be an Eat My Words namer. (So far, only 5 creative geniuses have passed.) The test is simple (at least for us)… “Send us 20 names for a sleek new external hard drive that stores an enormous amount of data.” While we certainly have seen our share of hideous names that appear to have been created by our old-school competitors, at least the people that send them in are usually quite humble, sometimes even begging. But today, a wannabe Name Boy had a little attitude. Here is the email he sent:
Subject: Just one
To: dreamjobs@eatmywords.com.

new external hard drive that stores an enormous amount of data:
Drive Outside
Go on and play with this . . .
Just one? One bad one? Don’t quit your day job, Name Boy. Or as Mik says, “Hey Name Boy, go drive off a cliff.” For more bad namer test submissions, check out this previous post.
