Are you sure about Giant Bomb? AFAIK Jess, Jason, and Bailey were all laid off by Fandom. The GB crew even spoke about being caught off-guard both times, and how bad they thought those layoff decisions were.

They’re word pairs from famous sayings about things being the best: “Cream of the crop”, “pick of the litter”, etc. The first word of each pair is in the top half and the second in the bottom. It’s a fun little twist.

I grew up watching a bunch of Looney Tunes and got the theme pretty quickly, but I’d never heard of Foxy. I was shocked how much of a Mickey Mouse ripoff it appeared to be (and as I’m now finding, close enough that Walt Disney himself stepped in to ask them to stop).

I didn’t recognize one of the terms, and wow… try looking it up. That’s pretty blatant. No wonder that’s not used much.

Everyone pokes fun at that number, but it was about planning for every possible scenario, including getting trapped in orbit for much longer than planned. Think about the astronauts stranded by Boeing right now. Should’ve been 1 week, and now it’s looking like 8 months.
