Alternative BFG names

I think with the list of "alternative BFG name expansions" we're in danger of ending up with a list of every single expansion that someone once made up in school one day. It might be a good idea to find citations for the existing expansions to determine their notability. Fraggle 08:14, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

A few are mentioned in the BFG FAQ, although AFAICT the concept there is "here's a few representative examples" and not "we searched Usenet exhaustively and these are the three/four most notable expansions we found".    Ryan W 18:00, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Citations for "homages" section

The wikipedia article creates a bibliography by simply linking to its own articles about the works cited, so I'm not sure we need to do more.  The last item I copied seems to be obscure, however (at least in English-language sources), so here are a few links: [1] [2].    Ryan W 23:34, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Big Fucking Gun

While we all know what BFG stands for, I think that "technically" it's Big Fraggin' Gun, as that's the acronym mentioned in the Official Doom FAQ. I don't think the term used in an internal design document should be considered the "real" name any more than the Doomguy is named Buddy Dacote or something.
