I need puns! I need clever word play!

I’ve started making soaps and recently found a company who wants to sell them. However, I need a name! I have everything else ready, they’re packaged and in a display case, all set to go… but I am sitting here with only 9 hours left to go, trying to think of a name to stick on the placard that goes in the box. _ARGH_!

Ones come up with and rejected by my husband and I:

Lyer Lyer  
Curl Up & Lye  
Slippery Soap  
…

Help me?

These two are in the running, and my husband seems to have sparked a fondness for \*Lyer, Lyer \* once again. Me, I’m too excited/exhausted to make a reasonable decision, so I’m going to run these by my co-workers at the store. Popular vote is likely to win, unless I suddenly come back to life. I’ve worked so hard on this all week since finding out, getting enough soap ready to go out, and now my brain just decided to take a vacation. Between this and the “homework” for my regular job, I’m toasted.

**LOUNE** - if I used “Dirty Mouth”, I’d have to get that chick from the Orbit white commercials. But then you’d never see her again, because I’d keep her.

So, you DON’T want to use “Dirty Mouth” because you DON’T want the blond girl from the Orbit commercials?

How does that work? Do you not covet her?

It sounds like you’re naming it “Dirty Mouth”.

Nah, I’d be keeping her away from the rest of the world, and that’s just not fair. Though shalt not covet thy neighbour’s dirty soapy wife, or somesuch.

Meh. If it were me, I’d covet, take, stuff under my arm, and stash under my bed.  
Just sayin’.

Frothy, the Soapman – OK, it’s seasonal.

Soap-positories – You’ll never be a dirty bum!

Aria – when you want a soap opera.
