English name for SOS-dan?

Post by RiXeD »

Hey, you.

Uh, so I have to prepare a lesson for english class to get a higher grade. I decided to make a lesson about SHNY (worse, teacher actually approved of that xP). Though there is one part with which I have a problem. I have to prepare a short excersise for my classmates and it has to have something with lesson`s topic. I thought that I might tell them to make an english name for SOS-dan without losing it`s true meaning and shortcut, but, the problem is, I can`t think of one myself.

Can you tell me some ideas? For the name or other excersises? My class is not too good with english so it has to be something easy.


Tkx in advance,
RiX

You can use the one from the translation, which is the "Official" North America version from what I understand:

Spreading Excitement All Over the World with Suzumiya Haruhi Brigade

Or you can use the one AFK Fansubs came up with:

Save the world by Overloading it with fun, Suzumiya Haruhi's Brigade

Making a name that won`t fit the short form is too easy. I need something more creative.


Smidge, thanks. But I`d need 1-2 more, if you can.

I still don't really get your point @_@
What's wrong with using the names Smidge suggested? Even if it's for the sake of creativeness, I don't think you can use more than one name for the Bridge in the whole series.

You're kinda being an ass right now. This is supposed to be your assignment. Aren't you supposed to be doing the work?

The whole point of an English class is to learn the new language. But if all you provide is the simplest terms, no one is going to learn anything.

I believe a.f.k.'s
Save the World by Overloading it with Fun Brigade is the easiest...

Probably not a good English translation for the SOS Dan, but someone should still start up this club. One of the first club activities can be removing all microwaves from Sethy's vicinity, and then we can work our way from there.
