How about onomatopoeia? :) You could tell people to spell it just like  
it sounds!

In all (ok, slightly more) seriousness I like the action/comic book  
action naming scheme. How about something like "crunch", "crush", or  
some action using C? (I'll suggest we avoid "crash") Then you could at  
least make the statement "Clang something or other, we just need the  
rest of the letters explained".

I do like smoosh though :)
