Why is the S2000 called a STOOK??

S2000 -> Es too thow send = 4 syllables

s2k -> Es too Kay = 3 syllables

stook -> st ook = 2 syllables, sorta.

I, for one, also type letters faster than I do numbers, so stook is faster than s2k that way too.

The Stuka was not a "terror weapon", it was a tactical, attack dive bomber. Adequate against undefended targets, but a sitting duck against serious air defense.

Even so, the "dive bomber" image is amusingly aggressive. And I think I look spiffy when I wear my leather flying helmet with the top popped.

I can't do the scarf thing. I always think about Isadora Duncan calling, "Buggati!"

S2K sounds too much like Y2K. And being a software developer that is a part of my life I'd just as soon forget.

I wish Honda would have given it a name. Stook is the closest thing we have to a real name. I like it.

I also like "Shark" since it looks like one when you get down low and look at it from the front. You have the headlights as the eyes and the grill as the mouth. My silver reminds me the Great White. The problem is it doesn't work as a car name.

"Honda Shark"... hmmmm....

The word "stook" refers to a pile of corn sheaves, twelve together, six on each side with two hood sheaves on the top.

Not what comes to mind when talking about the S2000

I hate "stook" and I refuse to use it. It sounds and looks ugly. It's only S2000 or S2K for me.
