Yeah, and maybe Gecko or XULRunner, too. (Not sure about Mozilla
itself, though. :-)

Geckomacs?

Xulmacs? (We would get a Ghostbusters reference for free! ;-)

Mozmacs? (Sounds horrible in German: motzen = grouching)

Firemacs? (No, it's no Firefox anymore, so not that one. :-)

"webmacs" seems quite obvious, that name came to my mind yesterday
when the discussion started again, too.

But I still prefer something funny. Conkeror has that
Nature/Beer/Game/Children/Winner allusions and I would like to keep at
least some of them. Not easy together with

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conkers has some other names for the game
Conkers and those were already mentioned (I wouldn't write "suggested"
;-) on IRC:

+ Obblyonkers
+ Cheggies
+ Cheesers

If we choose one of them, we should probably go for the singular
version and call it Obblyyonker, Cheggy or Cheeser.

CINK? Conkeror is not Konqueror? ;-)

Hmmm.

EMACS FTW! Ehm. No, not "Emacs for the win", but: Escape Meta Alt
Control Shift for the Web. (SCNR and forget that suggestion quickly
again! ;-)
