Wouldn't 'Gosu' be a great title for the final max titles achieved track (2o-25 max titles achieved)?

From wiki:

In Korean, word gosu (Hangul: literally a high hand) is used for a person with great skill, usually in martial arts or in baduk (Go). In Gyeongnam province dialect gosu also has a meaning "leader"[2]. The word is partially derived from the Chinese word gaoshou and similar to the Japanese word jouzu.

There is an urban legend saying that term gosu originated from Starcraft community as an acronym for "God Of Starcraft Universe" or "Guardian of Starcraft Universe. However, this is actually a backronym, as the term has long been applied to martial arts experts and players of other multiplayer games including first-person shooters like Counter-Strike. It is most likely that Starcraft players were among the first gamers to adopt the Korean word with a new meaning.

More or less the same deal (if you want gosu under your name), the max title track names are lines from a scene in Anchor Man and will probably stay that way.

Unfortunately I think you are right. Don't know why people like Will Ferrel movies so much, I personally think the guy is a dumb@$$, but it's not like I have to show the title anyways.

Personally, I think that would be an insult. That word is so overused it hurts my eyes seeing it.

No.

It's already used......the "Skillz" title track has it as a high rank...and that title track is a parody.

GG.

Plus, unless you didn't notice, all the titles are from "Anchorman", and are much more clever than some leet speak Gosu thrown in.
If you want to see "Gosu" being thrown about, go play counter strike and listen to the countless kids calling themselves Gosu snipers. Pathetic.
