Gift of Gab

Our tango trio has now had 2 rehearsals, and our first real performance will be at the Downeast Country Dance Festival in March. The question of a name for the group came up today over e-mail and I sat down to ponder it a bit this afternoon. First I hit upon "labia", (which means "eloquence" in Spanish), and was thinking "Tango Labia" would be a great (albeit slightly risqué) name for an all-girl group who loves to talk during rehearsals. It finally came together when I was lying around at L.'s and mentioned to her that I wanted to use "labia" because "tengo mucha labia" means "I have the gift of gab". It took her only a second to realize that we needed one more word to make this an incredibly painful pun (the best kind!)

Tango Mucha Labia.

After that, there wasn't really any discussion of other names. It works on so many levels.
