Change Holocaust name

[Buhbuh]

It's in jest, I'm sure, but the etymology of the word didn't start in 1939. It's not called The Holocaust. It's a word, and I've heard it used plenty of times outside of WW2 use.

Although you should see our banner in TS. It's tremendous. Lol.

That was probably the greatest phone call to Moe's bar ever.

But there's room for doubt. Sort of. I mean if you know the players, there's no room for doubt, but it's an easily defensible case if GMs came after them over the name.

"The Holocaust" would just be blatant.

A clever play on words describing this type of shirt

No shit, it's been attributed to the events of WW2 for 7 decades. Notice the Wikipedia link telling you it has Greek origins?

Read a book. It can be used in other ways. It's just delicate and sparsely used now because it's difficult to extricate its literal meaning from the events of WW2.

I'm not defending my guild necessarily. They aren't the delicate types. But if you want to get into semantics...
