HFCS verb \hiff-cix\
1 a: The act of using the Unleash Ninjas button, and performing a moderation act.

I think I know now why Bungie is called Bungie. Thanks to this topic, I found out that that the U is a slingshot. But, what if the name Bungie, is what they use for the slingshot? They could use a giant bungie cord for the giant slingshot. I don't know if this is correct or not, but it's the best reason that I know why Bungie is called Bungie.

I think they got the name from a dirty joke.

EDIT:
Found a video of the joke.
Just change the word "Poontah" to "Bungie".

NOTE: It is a dirty joke, so the video isn't for the innocent.

Bungie is, from what I have heard, the punchline of a dirty (and possibly lame) joke.

Now that you said that I just remembered it. I just wanted to give out my idea.

Your theory is sound and logical. Not a bad one as a matter-of-fact.

No, you maybe right, it is only what I've heard so there is no real credit behind it. You're idea is a pretty good theory.

I sure hope Bungie won't get after me if I found out the secret reason of their name.

You'll be the first in the slingshot.

When referring to the "cord", it's a "bungee cord."

Your wrong, they love to Bungie Jump, nothing to do with their massive slingshot

That would make sense if a "bungie cord" was a thing.

"Bungie" is not a word my friend.

I hate to disagree, but I believe when referring to Bungie, it is called a "bungie cord."

No, the actual spelling is "Bungee".

"Bungie" isn't a word.

Got a question, comment, or concern? PM me.

Three guys are walking through a jungle when they are caught and taken prisoner by a savage tribe. The tribe chief says to the first man, "I will give you two choices. Death, or bungie."

The man, not knowing what 'bungie' was, decided to choose that, because anything could be better than death. So the tribe proceeded to sodomize him repeatedly, for over an hour until he could barely walk. He stumbled away in tears as the other two men watched in horror.

The chief asks the second man, "Death, or bungie?" The man was horrified by what he had seen, but still would rather not die. He chose bungie, and the tribe proceeded to sodomize him even more viciously than the first man, for hours and hours, leaving him permanently crippled. He dragged himself away, sobbing.

The chief asked the last man, "Death or bungie?" The man decided that anything could be better than this 'bungie', even death. "I choose death!" the man exclaimed, bravely. The chief smiled. "Very well. Death.. by bungie!"
