Aw, I remember from that one clip... I think where they were brainstorming a slogan for their survival show? One of them mentioned "stay, don't stray". Cute

i ranted on twitter about this but this is literally the worst fandom name i've ever heard

all english words (especially nouns or verbs) sound weird af as fandom names, regardless of whether some are appropriate or pretty (e.g. melody, universe & insomnia are lovely in context, but sound utterly ridiculous as words being used for fandoms, and army and shinee world are just baffling in all contexts). but this is a verb masquerading as a noun. and it's not even a nice noun.

some meanings of "stay"

as a noun:
a stay of execution
a stay of proceedings
a stay in poker
a corset
a standstill
a temporary residence

as a verb:
to halt
to detain
to suspend
to satisfy cravings
to head into wind (on a ship)

this is...not a good meaning. do you really want to suffocate and freeze your idols? i'd sure HOPE you don't.

(also it's lazy af; jype just removed the "r" from "stray".........)

don't think i don't like stray kids. i do. i just think this is legitimately the worst fandom name there is.

also "where stray kids STAY", the slogan they came up with, is not grammatical or logical.......particularly if you're using "stay" as a noun :|
