I just cleared out a bunch of examples that did not fit the page's description - not a single one was for a long overdescriptive name! The most arguable one would be [[The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck in his Craw]]/"Strong Sad Wets Yonder Bed" - both are actual names, unlike everything else I removed, but the latter isn't all that long and neither is particularly overdescriptive. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:46, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

== Overlap between [[Overdescriptive nouns]] and [[Nondescript nouns]]? ==

== Commando Name ==

Is that even possible? Because "As Seen on TV Low-Fat Cooking Device" is also a non-descript noun, considering it is just as descriptive as "That Paintball Place Down the Street", except the latter is one word shorter. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 05:16, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

How about exactly what is said in the description- "Unusually Long Names" or alternatively something like "Overdescriptive Titles". {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 02:41, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Maybe The Cheat was going to make this longer, but I'm not sure it fits among the other examples here. Just because Strong Bad thinks it's too long (Clanky) doesn't mean it's overdescriptive. Thoughts? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:06, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

:It's long, but not necessarily overdescriptive. Strong Bad is the owner, Strong Badia is the place, and pizza is the food, so none of it is unnecessary. It's like if there was restaurant called, say, Homestar's American Burgers. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 05:29, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
