"THEY" don't get to name anything-

They being the stupid ass weather channel. The national weather service isn't using their stupid ass names and I don't think we should honor them by every referring to the storm as the "name" they designate.

Don't use it the meme won't stick and maybe they will stop trying to be some reality weather tv show and go back to telling us what the radar is showing-
