I've unconciously conditioned myself to think about rabbits with nukes each
time I think about monads. "Warm fuzzy things" "launching the missiles"

I usually go for names that don't have to do anything with the

Custard... saves me from having to think of "

Do they walk out when you mention it or when you explain it?-)
