Rename: Shlubb And Klump English

Reasons for renaming Shlubb and Klump English:
1) The trope name is fandom specific.
2) The trope is named after two characters. (And minor ones at that.)
3) The current name is hard to spell.

At the very least, this probably needs a redirect or two. It is impossible to figure out what the name means without knowledge of Sin City or reading the trope page.

Delusions of Eloquence is a possible new name for the trope. (The name was suggested in a previous discussion which expired.)

This name is hideous. I've seen the Sin City movie and still didn't remember the names of the wannabe-eloquent Those Two Bad Guys. And if you don't know the source, the name is vaguely misleading ("Shlubb and Klump" sound like two comedy cavemen who speak in single-syllable words, not Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness).

Delusions of Eloquence is very good.

Delusions of Eloquence works for me, like it did when I suggested it in the other thread.

I agree with everything above. Delusions of Eloquence is fine. Plus, we don't need to give further credence to Frank Miller at this point.

Wow, I Thought It Meant broken Germanic/Yiddish English of the type made popular by the Katzenjammer Kids; a subtrope of Funetik Aksent.

Although Delusions Of Eloquence is a little hard to spell, it's better than the current name.

[awesome] indeed. I've never especially liked this title but we didn't have anything better. Delusions of Eloquence is perfect.

I object to renames on general principle and I still like this proposition. Delusions of Eloquence ftw.

After three days at +25 with 0 dissent, I'm locking the crowner and starting the rename to Delusions of Eloquence.

Discussion is moved. Go to town on the rest of the move.
