Drunken Scrabble [Sponsored]

5 February 2013

How did Vooza get its name? It involved a lot of tequila, a linguistics professor, and a strobe light. Hmm…maybe we should have gone with Frunjé. (If you need a name for your company or brand, Eat My Words works with companies to create unforgettable brand names and taglines.)
