Should the BFT/BTT be renamed?
I was reminded of this earlier today and thought it might be a good topic to discuss here, as we are still attempting to revive the comm.
So. Bad friends trio. For those of you not knowing what that is, it's one of two common terms for France, Prussia and Spain. It is also the official name for the three.
Anyway, the other common name, and the one I see more often in fanworks, is bad touch trio. This has caused some controversy because, well, it supposedly refers to the three of them being perverts. More precisely, it may or may not refer to them molesting people (and even more precisely, in Spain's case, some people point to this choice of words to claim... things. Don't even make me say it - if you don't already know what I mean, you don't want to know x.x).
So a fellow member from another comm had the idea that instead of bad touch trio (BTT), it would be better to call them big brother trio (BBT). And I really like this idea, because it doesn't have any twisted meanings and it just fits nicely. Of course, Spain referred to himself as Romano's boss rather than his big brother, but the way he interacts with him is close enough in my opinion. What do you say? Do you agree or disagree, and for what reason? Should everyone just stick with the official name and drop the substiture terming altogether? Do you have other ideas for a good name?
