Rename the Kudo

About six months ago, when Fridaycities was just a twinkle, Paul was asking for suggestions for the name of the a London-based currency.

My suggestion was the Stephen Pound.

Whilst this is obviously slightly shit, I maintain it’s got one up on Kudos. So – nice Londoners – let’s decide on a better name for the currency.

And then we can stage a coup.

Jesus, Adam, you really are, aren’t you? You really are.

Kudos stay. As does their newly-coined singular, the Kudo. Now shush.

Kudos – the naff company car my ex boyfriend (an area sales manager, eurgh!) drove in the early 90s. but guess I can’t complain as I seem to amassed stacks of the (so far so mysterious) things

Off on a slight tangent, I once had a dream – seriously – that the Euro was ditched in favour of the new European currency: the bumble bee. Only live ones were valid currency. Everyone has special bumble bee purses, except that you opened them, and your cash would fly away.

What a cracking dream! I wish mine were more like that, last night I dreamt I was being imprisoned in a dingy public toilet by a bunch evil gypsies.

Oh my word! That would be my idea of a nightmare.

I have a bee/wasp phobia so bad, that I had to walk out of the X-files film at the cinema. How was I meant to know there would be bees in it! Argh!

I like the idea of getting karmic points for our contributions. (Right now I’m headed towards reincarnation as an amoeba, so every little helps.)

Blast from the ‘90s… What about bringing the ECU back? Exchangeable Crap (talking) Unit?

This joke was rejected by the Telegraph’s leader page in 1997 for being both too shit and too right-wing.

I like Karmic points – Fridaycities could join forces with the Karma Army! One point for every random act of kindness! All of a sudden the world has turned from a dark, Grey building plot into a land filled with pleasant, helpful people wishing to come back to in the next life as god.

I didn’t think kudos was a bad name as I discovered it’s important use here but then I heard myspace was using the same name. Myspace is the source of all evil (anyone who is good with CSS and has ever tried to code a myspace profile will agree with me there). Copying it makes Fridaycities look like a wannabe with less creativity.

There are so many other words we could use in the dictionary – let’s pick one that no one has used before. Let’s be…. (duh duh daaaaah) CREATIVE!........

I know it’s difficult in a world where every piece of technological equipment we own must have a name beginning with a lower case “i” but think; this could actually make people use their vocabulary a little better. Amazing don’t you think!
