Who's got a funny Pub Quiz name for me?

[DaveGoddard]

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Beef Curtains was one we used a few weeks ago.

[Shakermaker]

If all else fails then just go with comedy nicknames for dick and balls or that general area?

Winky and The Sausagemen
Meat and 2 Veg
The Beefrods
The One Eyed Snakes
The Gloves of Love

"Flueless Cookers"

Haha, I think that might even be a first for the turtle.

After dark up the road looks like it might be closing down - RIP. But, the turtle have purchased the building next door to make a bit of a live music venue, micro brewery etc etc!

Pedants

At some point you will be referred to as 'The pedants'.

Correct them, adenoidally.

If the quiz announcer is using a microphone then we have used 'I wish this microphone was a penis' before.

Being Welsh I would propose Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogochpubquizteam.

How are pub quizzes still going in this day and age of smartphones? Surely cheating is rife?

Not in a proper pub.

The quizmaster is legally allowed to carry a bolt gun. It is to use on those utilising a smartphone during the most sacred of British things - the pub quiz

We foolishly entered a pub quiz (didn't know it was on, we got there and decided to give it a go); there were six or seven teams, one of which was Googling everything. Of course, they won the £50 cash prize. They were all on first name terms with the question master (well, mistress) so I expect she "didn't notice" their cheating. Oh well, we'll not be returning; their loss.

We sometimes go as "The purple headed yogurt slingers" always gets a snigger the ladies in the team aren't so keen on it tho

I run the quiz at my local and have found that you get groups of youngsters in who think "great I will Google everything" but they are usually let down by:

i) The answers they think they know so don't google they get wrong.
ii) I do a mid quiz marking break so don't give much time to google everything.
iii) I will knock a few marks off to make sure they don't win if I catch them, as they know they cheated they never argue.


Very difficult to police as people are generally perma buried in their phones these days.

What I suspect is much harder to police is the clever teams sending one member to take a mid quiz poo and googling the one or two things that team don't know.

As part of my day job I have made mobile phone jammers and have considered bringing one with me to the quiz, but then I couldn't read PH between questions.

p.s. Quiz Ackabussi is a favourite of mine.

"Sleek sheet slitters"

Meaningless, but very tough to pronounce without "slitters" becoming "sh*tters"...

Thank you all for the replies.

Shout out to my favourites of "Quizteam Aguilera" and "I wish this microphone was a penis" which were my favourites from this lot. As it happens we were blindsided on the night by a Christmas themed quiz requiring a Christmassy name so we came up with "3 wise men 'virgin' on the ridiculous" and won the prize!!

Re those asking how a Pub quiz happens with smart phones, this pub is in the middle of the countryside with no mobile signal around so no advantage to anyone there. We came 5th but had a good laugh.

Thank you all for your help here.
