Ideas Wanted!

Hey Blogosphere!  I posted this on Facebook yesterday and got a great response.  Feel free to add your own ideas in the comment section.  I LOVE ideas!

~Thanks!

Ok, FB friends. I need your input in a story I’m writing. I need a fictional name for a store/shop that means “retaliation.” I was thinking “Tit For Tat” but that has all kinds of naughty middle school boy smirkiness attacked to it. So other options might be “Quid Pro Quo,” “Pay Backs,” “Turning Tables,” “Serves You Right,” and “Measure For Measure.” What’s YOUR preference, and/or what other names could you come up with? HELP!

• 

  Cement Shoes.
• 

  Would you shop in a store called Cement Shoes? Maybe….
• 

  What service does the store provide?
• 

  Karma Kafe
• 

  “Re-prize-all Used Toy Store”. Where all toys are a prize to be re used.
• 

  I didn’t read your post correctly. I thought you said it was a toy store.
• 

  never-the-less, I like reprisal
• 

  outwardly it sells one-of-a-kind items, but it’s really a Twilight-Zone kinda store that dishes out what people deserve – for good or bad.
• 

  IforNI, Something Karma
• 

  Karma Kitch
• 

  Does the winner get royalties?
• 

  or an honorable mention on the acknowledgment page????
• 

  Retailiation. No?
• 

  Okay, if it gives out good as well as bad… The Winnowing Fork.
• 

  you might check anagram web sites to for some of these words. Or mythological sites.
• 

  Dang it! I was just typing “Retailiation.” Great minds and all that.
• 

  Too funny! Great minds, indeed.
• 

  If it’s an ice cream shop… “A Dish Best Served Cold.”
• 

  The Sauce and Gander. Although that sounds like a pub.
• 

  Teak Jar Music. Anagram of justice and karma
• 

  Themis Retail Tea. Or Old Bailey’s Retail Tea.
• 

  I4NI
• 

  Comuppins
• 

  U Hadit Comin
• 

  In Greek mythology, judges were called “servants of Themis” or themistopóloi. Using “themistopoloi” at Wordsmith, you get this list:

  Reciprocity. Strangely I just took a Stanford course at work this week called “managing without authority” and reciprocity is one tool to use!
• 

  You Asked for It.
• 

  You guys ALL rock. I’ll let you know what I go with soon. And the Moirae are going to play a big part in this store.
• 

  And thanks so much for the Chicago earworm. “He had it comin’….He had it comin’….”
• 

  That was sort of the idea.
• 

  OMG, I could waste SO MUCH time on the anagram site. It’s interesting that an anagram of “retaliation” is “A Entrail Trio” because my Moirae will be doing some entrail divination…..
• 

  Ack, get it out of my ears!!!
• 

  I like his suggestion. It works for the one-of-a-kind-items shop as well as for the actual purpose of the shop. You Asked For It seems like the perfect name. And, btw, I LOVE the Cell Block Tango.
• 

  If it is a fabric store it could be Reap what You Sewed
• 

  Keep ‘em comin’…you’re on a roll, sir.
• 

  “Eye for an Eye” or “Serve the Same Sauce”
• 

  Ooh,  I’ve never heard of the “serve the same sauce” expression before.
• 

  Or it could just be “The Same Sauce”….
• 

  Thai Restaurant.
  Pai Bach Sab Ich
• 

  That took me a moment. Geesh!
• 

  Tee hee
• 

  It’s a bit of a stretch but you could do Zeke’s 25/17. Referencing Ezekiel 25:17 better known from the Sam Jackson’s speech from pulp fiction
• 

  Lemme go look it up….
• 

  Oh, wow. That’s heavy. But I really like the Bible verse idea. There’s a religious element in the story and the store, actually.
• 

  

  WebSpawner – ezekiel pulp fiction

  ezekiel pulp fiction
• 

  I’m also thinking of R&P….which stands for “rewards and punishments” but could be an innocent-sounding name of a store on any main street in America.
• 

  Not Your Girl Next Door…….
• 

  Oh a dessert shop. Karmeringue
