I'm competing in a grammar "smackdown" (think spelling bees for Journalism students).
My team went last year and we placed second, but our real claim to fame was our award-winning team name: Thesaurus Rex (complete with caveman attire).
I need a name that lives up to Thesarus Rex's standard. Some other examples of other teams' names: The Comma Kazis, The Grammar Police (they dressed like cops), and the Grammar Gangsters.
Puns are awesome, and it definitely helps to be able to encorporate a snazzy costume.

Being a Grammar Nazi at heart (I'm a writer), I love your competition! The first thing that came to mind is the Grammar Grandmas - you could dress up like old ladies! You know how men LOVE to dress in drag when they can get away with it! Good luck!
