The most perverse, cynical name for a product I have ever heard

[DFW]

That highly toxic stuff BP used a million+ gallons of to make the gulf oil spill look less awful on the ocean's
surface, but only made the whole stew more toxic, more dispersed and less visible to the naked eye from the surface?

Corexit. I doubt the name is a coincidence.

PR problems with an oil spill?

Corexit "corrects it."

Maybe the name has something to do with the stuff's chemical makeup, I don't know. But even if it
does, they could have named it something else. I think it was named by some smug paper pusher at
BP who thought they were being clever.

Corexit does NOT "correct it." It doesn't correct anything, apparently, if what it has done in the gulf
is any indication.

To conform with American Truth in Advertising laws, I hereby propose an immediate re-naming of their product: Fuxit.

4. It corrects things like Delbert Grady did.

Delbert Grady: Perhaps they need a good talking to, if you don't mind my saying so. Perhaps a bit more. My girls, sir, they didn't care for the Overlook at first. One of them actually stole a pack of matches, and tried to burn it down. But I "corrected" them sir. And when my wife tried to prevent me from doing my duty, I "corrected" her.

13. Asiphex

Pronounced "ass effects" for the silver?

[BanzaiBonnie]

14. Oh gawd, you're right

Filthy bastards. Dirty, rotten, low down, filthy bastards.:mad: :grr:

15. Well, to be fair to BP

"Son of a bitch! Pour this in the water and hurry before they can prove how much is coming out!" was probably already taken.

[marions ghost]

16. "corexit"

is going to become a synonym for "anything you want to hide by dirty and devious means."

Got a problem? Just Corexit.

[Vinca]

17. Apparently it should be called "Cilzit."
