Looking for Irreverent Nickname for Elizabeth Line
I have never really liked the queen and I was annoyed that Crossrail is going to be named after her. What has she ever done?
So I am looking for a disrespectful way of referring to the Elizabeth Line while still being understood. I suppose Liz Line will be popular, along with Lizzy Line and Betty Line. What was that name Private Eye gave her? I might use that. |

What in the world has "offramp" done? No doubt it will become the "Lizzy Line". The alliteration (look it up offramp) is unavoidable. |

e27002 has made a superb suggestion, The SHIZZLE Line. It's a cross of **** and LIZZIE.
That'll do for me, Tommy! |

I could not have said it better. |
