WTF? Oh, you naughty Spirit!

Ok, now that the title has gotten your attention.....

This thread is about the naughty acronyms that Spirit Airlines uses to name their sales. There was actually an item on the news a few weeks back about Spirit's "MILF" sales -- which Spirit claims stands for "Many Islands, Low Fares" but which apparently has a sexual connotation (which I had never heard of before reading the news article, by the way.)

Today's sale is called "WTF" which Spirit claims stands for "World Fare Traveler." I'm not sure that name evens makes sense! Clearly, Spirit is doing this deliberately. I don't know whether I find this amusing or just sleazy! (What is sleazy, though, is how Spirit nickels-and-dimes passengers for everything. Charging to check even a single bag? Charging for a soda on board? Sheesh!)

I've got it! They can call the next sale "So Many Big Discounts." It'll be the S&M/B&D sale.

Do you think we can get Spirit to give us a commission for coming up with their next naughty sale name?

That was good! They can always do South Of the Border sale.

What's really scary is how fast I thought of that, like 30 seconds after I saw your "S&M sale" post. (Note the times on your S&M sale post, and my post.) What does that say about my thought processes???

Well, I got a $39 DTW-NYC round trip on the WTF sale, so I guess I'll fly Spirit even if they tell me, "Here's your f&*#*@# boarding pass, you $%&#@."
