I’m holding out for the Gee Whiz build.
The rocket looks great.Effed Up is a scratch build minimum diameter rocket designed to fly high with an Apogee F10 motor.

Effed Up is a sibling of Eyelash. Many of the construction details are similar. I will use this post to highlight some of the differences.

Eyelash (left) and Effed Up
I will also use this post to describe what I learned from an original version of the rocket that never flew because it perished during charge testing.
I certainly question those who swear-off swearing, but respect their choice.I like the name!
I don't trust people who don't cuss.
As someone who has been known to utter an expletive or two, I nonetheless sympathize with your point of view, and have found some rocket names and/or decors on this forum over the years to be pointlessly vulgar.I only have to wonder why euphemistic vulgarity has to find its way into every aspect of life.
Eyelash was a fine name, why not select something else, like eyebrow.
I'm not offended and I apologize if I did.Sorry. I wasn't trying to choose anything vulgar or offend. I was just trying to name each high performance rocket starting with the impulse letter around which it was designed:
Eff isn't an easy letter.
- Effed Up
- Gee Willikers
- Eyelash
- Someday maybe Teed Off?
I have to fess up that I once named another rocket something edgy: "After four hours up phone a doctor." Flight time didn't even come close...
