Name?

I just decided to use the name 'Guitar' since I didn't know if it had an actual name. Does anyone know if it has an official name? Should we leave it at 'guitar'? Should we change it to 'EL KABONG!'? --André the Accelerator 01:57, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Kabong would be awesome IMO. OluapPlayer 02:02, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Since his other taunt is affectionately named 'Organ Grinder' I think that 'Kabong!' or 'El Kabong' would fit better, so can we get a name change?--André the Accelerator 02:06, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Kabong! would be good.--Piemanmoo 02:31, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
So uh, what name you guys want? --Vi3trice 02:32, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Oh! How about Death Note?--Piemanmoo 03:09, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
No. Really, just no. You know why I'm saying that. I'd rather call it Sonata of Death. --Vi3trice 03:12, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
I like Kabong! — WindPower 03:13, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Then Kabong! is it. --Vi3trice 03:29, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Not Kabong. That's horrible. Makes NO sense. I'm thinking of a better name. -- Smashman... (ts) 10:42, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
You don't get the reference then, the move and sound are from Quick Draw McGraw's [1] alter ego "El Kabong"[2] which was a cartoon made from 1959-1962, it was also later a professional wrestling move[3]. Regardless of what people like, that is the reference. "El Kabong" would be the correct name for the move. --Xeroproject 18:58, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
How about something more guitar-related like TWANG! -- SgtWoodsy 11:15, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Have any problem with Quick Draw McGraw, punk? OluapPlayer 11:20, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
To the guy who said it made no sense: EL KABONG! Song! 12:22, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Twang! I like Twang! -- Smashman... (ts) 12:12, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

NOOOOOOO... I'd even prefer "Kabong!" (It sounds so weird!) over "Twang!" (It's even weirder!)The Neotank 12:15, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Fine, but Kabong is awful. Something to do with Guitar smashing? -- Smashman... (ts) 12:17, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Frankly, I'd just go with "Guitar." It's boring and plain, but it works. The Neotank 12:21, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
How about "Honky Smash"? -- Smashman... (ts) 12:45, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
I HAVE IT! "Honky Konk!" Play on words with Honky Tonk and Konk means knock out. It's perfect. -- Smashman... (ts) 12:51, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
How about "Six String Sting"? Siphidatalk 13:01, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Or, Honky Konk? -- Smashman... (ts) 13:03, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Isn't 'Honky' a racial slur? Siphidatalk 13:05, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Against white people, yes. Mind you, white people don't exactly have the best track record for preaching racial tolerance. Anyway, I think Kabong! is better. I mean, the homage is there and everything! Noizeblaze 13:15, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Honky Tonk is a type of bar in the South USA. No racial slur there. Kabong sounds like some weird drug thing. I truly hate it. -- Smashman... (ts) 13:35, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
I think "Guitar" got the point across, at least until we have a proper name. Kabong! doesn't make any sense. --Janitor 17:22, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
I say keep it as Kabong! It makes perfect sense if you get the reference.--EDF 19:33, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

THE CASE FOR KEEPING IT AS KABONG--- This is why it needs to be Kabong! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmemBa1HAzU ... I'm willing to bet the devs were at least inspired by this. - Goose511th 21:18, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Good to see my choice is still holding strong.--André the Accelerator 05:53, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm all for "EL KABONG."
