Most pages in this set build something new out of parts, and show you the parts, so you can keep the half you like and change the rest. The call sign page pairs a descriptor with a noun, and the lists under its tool say how each half was earned.

More about these tools

The code name page puts a prefix in front of two words that give nothing away. The gibberish page stacks sounds into nonsense you can say aloud. The handle pages mix their own word lists into usernames, and they say plainly that no page here can check whether a name is taken. The mascot page deals a trait, a subject and two team colors; its lists say why each part works and give the hex codes. The adjective and noun page deals pairs to start a sketch, with a drawing cue for every word in its lists. The band, artist and server name pages mix words sorted by feel, and the funny name page adds a nickname to a silly full name. Every word list is printed in full under its tool.
