Seriously, can we leave this in the late 90s where it belongs?
I'm talking about calling things you don't like cutesy misspellings or nicknames that are supposed to make you sound clever, e.g. Micro$oft, NASCRAP, IndySNORE, Pierce & Dismantle (for Pearson-Fremantle) and a whole share of political ones I can't mention.
It's one of the things that causes me to immediately disregard any argument someone may have had, because it's such an immature approach to talking about things. It's seriously like, a seventh or eighth grade level of debating things, and it never makes you not look stupid.

Pretty sure I had an aneurysm when I found out people were legit using "Ikki Bellugh" in referral to, surprisingly enough, Nikki Bella. Like, you could tell they were like "YES, SO CLEVER", but it was just the worst.

Random anecdote about Kesha: I seriously had no clue on how to pronounce her name until I saw a "text this number to buy ringtones" ad that was selling Tik Tok. Also on-topic, calling Kane "lame" and trying to make it rhyme. Not only does it clearly not work at all, but it's not even clever.

Around 2010 I remember many people calling Miz "the Piz."

Around 2010 I remember many people calling Miz "the Piz." I still see him referred to as "The Jiz" from time to time.

Good thing she's Kesha with a proper S, cause she's all growed up now! Pierce and Dismantle? Someone else reads old alt.tv.game-shows posts and the like? ??
