Could also be a good name for a search engine that returns copious information unrelated to the query in question. :)

Google does this occasionally, if my guessing the 'right' keywords isn't good enough. :) How about fling+Google... flingle?

Yeah, one that comes to mind is WiFi. Supposedly it does not really stand for anything. The guy who coined the name probably was a HiFi enthusiast back in the day when they had dedicated HiFi stores. :)
