Boaty McBoatface
Language: English
Part of speech: name
Pronunciation: ipa: /ˈbəʊti məkˈbəʊtfeɪs/
ipa: /ˈboʊti mɪkˈboʊtfeɪs/
ipa: [-ɾi-]
Etymology: The proper noun was coined by the British BBC Radio Jersey presenter James Hand in 2016 as a humorous response to a public online poll held by the British government to name a new polar research ship. Despite the fact that “Boaty McBoatface” won decisively, receiving 33% of the overall vote (over three times as many as the second most favoured option), the organizers of the poll ultimately named the ship after British broadcaster and naturalist Sir David Attenborough. The name was instead given to one of the autonomous underwater vehicles (pictured) carried aboard the ship.
The noun may be analyzed as boat + -y (diminutive suffix) + Mc- (patronymic commonly used to form Irish and Scottish names) + boat + face, and was possibly modelled after “Hooty McOwlface”, a name given to an adopted owl which went viral on the Internet in 2012.
The verb is derived from the noun.
Senses: examples: text: I am proud to say that the royal Arctic survey ship will be named after David Attenborough. There was strong support for Boaty McBoatface. I think the submarine on the boat will be named Boaty McBoatface but, quite rightly, Attenborough will take top billing.

ref: 2016 October 17, Jonathan Amos, “Arctic Crossing Planned for ‘Boaty’ Sub”, in BBC News, archived from the original on 30 Nov 2024:
