我要评论Has there ever been a public naming contest not taken over by ridiculous wordplay?
Oldham Council, a government organization for the UK borough of Oldham, recently put out a call on Twitter for the public to name their new road gritter, a truck meant for salting and sanding streets.
And the public did not disappoint. The name chosen for the vehicle? Nicole Saltslinger.

The name Nicole Saltslinger was submitted by 10-year-old Eve, who of course attended the gritter's unveiling. Under the competition rules, only "children who live in Oldham or attend Oldham Primary School" could enter.

In case the Pussycat Dolls aren't at the front of your mind, the wordplay is dedicated to Nicole Scherzinger, former doll and current judge on TheX Factor.
And while some glamorous celebs might not be too jazzed to have a truck named after them, Scherzinger was overjoyed.
Oldham Council shared a clip of Scherzinger's reaction to the news on TheX Factor.
