Panzer Leader Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 I mean the name of course. I was thinking maybe something along the lines of "Whatzitz" or maybe a fancy "Razzamatazz." Doodads, it just sounds, I don't know, kinda Gomer Pyle I guess. How about a battleworthy "kampfknacker" or "ground-breaker". Or we could go technical-like with something along the lines of "terrain micro-feature" or "Enhanced Terrain Errata (or ETE)." Perhahps artistic: "Foreground Visuals" or "Style Element" or the edgy and inquistive "Terrain Type Visual Clue." Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rleete Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 How about non-interactive, visual terrain enhancement graphics? Then again, doodad doesn't sound that bad after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, doodad doesn't sound that bad after all...OK I posted about this very issue sometime ago also objecting to the phrase "doodad" if we go with this: "non-interactive, visual terrain enhancement graphics" JUST make it an acronym = NIV-TEGs Thats what they are now..... they are NIV-TEGs !! forget Doodads we now have NIV-TEGs (I think it sounds sort of military like don't you?) -tom w [ May 16, 2002, 03:40 PM: Message edited by: aka_tom_w ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 DOODAD is an acronym: Done Out Of Demand and Desire. We wanted them, they wanted to do them, so they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very creative! nice way to retro engineer DooDad into a snappy explanation of an acronym. -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltie Lad Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 AND... for any of you radio listeners who might remember "The Greaseman" show, he used the word "Doodads" as a synonym for, well, balls. Every time I see the word, "Doodads" on the forum, I have to smirk. hehehehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
