One that comes to me is "sista-friends" but it doesn't quite roll off the tongue.... I also like "Baby Angels", as someone suggested, just not sure it's a good fit.
I never liked Little Efffers, so I'm excited to see where this goes!

I never liked Little Effers either. I like names based on the show name "Wake Up" more than being Taylor-specific. For example, I like "WuWu Crew" better than "TayZees". What about just going back to the original "Fun Kids Club Squad Team" ?

I like lil Effers. I'll always be a lil Effer no matter what they call it. It's a perfect description of how I feel sometimes, I'm a baby angel to some, I'm totally a fun kid so I could be in that club squad and sometimes I'm a Effer for realz, Usually in my head, but yeah.

Is this a topic of today's show? I didn't listen yet...... Effers was originally FFFers right? Standing for Fun Fearless Females...From the old Cosmo realm. Again, I didn't listen today so maybe this was all covered already. Forgive me and disregard if so!

Yep, their reason for changing is it's spelt a few different ways so makes it hard as far as tagging, and now it's a lot to explain because the aren't really affiliated with Cosmo anymore.

I don't really see a need for a name, (not just in this case, I think it's weird with shows and bands as well) and should be more organic if it's gonna happen.

WUWU crew I like!

Or the hey girl heys...

What would be the purpose of a new tag when Taylor doesn't even use social media?

That's exactly what I was thinking...

WU Girls (whooo girls)
Wakies

I don't get the need to change either, it feels like someone (a newish friend with no history of being a listener) has probably been in her ear about "lil effer". Someone who probably thinks he/she is a marketing genius. What they are not considering is the loyal fan base identifies themselves as lil Effers. And, that nickname happened rather organically YEARS AGO. Choosing a new nickname for your fan base seems very forced and unnatural. Do a search of #wu anything and there are already thousands of hits. Mostly in reference to Wu Tang Clan. lol.

I did get a laugh at a lot of the suggestions, but let's be real- this isn't something Tay or Kenny came up with... Someone else is behind this name switch.

Based on an exchange I saw on twitter I got the impression that this was more to make a break from Cosmo because now Sirius owns/controls the show. Cosmo may not want them to use Fun Fearless Female anymore. And you can't explain where Effer came from w/out using that phrasing. There may be a trademark issue there.

That said, I do agree that a new name needs to be organic and not forced. I kind of think all the suggestions are dumb.

ChickenFacenook · 12/06/2015 1:51 pm

Oh and also, Little Effers didn't come about organically either. It was just like this. She wanted a name for listeners, and again used gaga and the little monsters as an example. I remember people calling back then with equally lame name suggestions until someone called in with little effers. It may have made more sense and flows better, and now it just fits since we're all used to it, but it wasn't an organic beginning.

Wakeupfan420 · 12/07/2015 10:59 am

Why is Little Effers so hard to explain? Seems like it would take 2 seconds to explain the concept... And, isn't the show still called Cosmo's WUWT??

Also, can anyone explain why this is a thing when they don't even use social media to interact with us? I'm so confused....

SympathyRoids · 12/07/2015 2:32 pm

Lil effers is not hard to explain and it has history. In what way does is sound pedophilic?!?! Seriously. Please explain that.

Okay, so this was a while ago (and nothing ever happened with changing the lil effers name-shocker!) however, at the time I was just lurking & hadn't registered so I couldn't comment (now I'm playing catch up!) What about LIttle WUF-ers (pronounced "woof-ers") stands for Wake Up Fans & nods to the Taylor's constant use of the Muffner "woof"?

BodyorAshes · 2/13/2016 1:59 pm

I like it!!

That is actually pretty funny... as much as I hate it when the 'woof' starts happening TOO much (I haven't noticed it as much as in the past). I didn't know it had anything to do with Muffner....I thought it was from Home Alone. But whatever, it's a great idea. On second thought...does it make US sound like dogs?? lololol

Wuwu and wuwu crew made me think of wu tang clan, I guess the wu. My brain went right to wu Tay clan Haha made me laugh.
