People have a lot of opinions about this nor'easter's 'unofficial' name
As the latest, greatest nor'easter ramps up along the Mid-Atlantic coast, more and more people are choosing to stay home until the snowfall stops.
Which means they have lots of time to spend online.
On Twitter, the joke du jour seems to be about the storm's unofficial name, Quinn, which was given to it by The Weather Channel in a transparent attempt at weather marketing. (The National Weather Service does not name winter storms.)

Aside from that controversy, people just think that Quinn is... a weird name for a storm. "Winter Storm Quinn sounds so passive-aggressive," the comedian Aparna Nancherla tweeted.

What do you know? When a bunch of people are inside and tweeting, extremely similar jokes about the same thing will abound.
Let's just hope all these tweeters went grocery shopping yesterday.
