Pretty much done with recruiting + no gameplanning = me being bored so...
Buda Pests: play on the word "Budapest", which is the captial city (and largest) of Hungary.
Cypriot Freedom: I think this has something to do with island Cyprus of Greece. I don't know but I guess they like freedom.
Death Dealers: No city name, but definitely somewhere in Texas. If they had to pick a city I think it would be Lubbock or maybe Midland/Odessa.
Devonport Devils: Devonport is the captial of Tasmania, thus Tasmanian Devils. Clever, I never knew. There is at least one truly Oceaniac name here...
Algoma Hugo Reefers: I have no idea. Maybe the small town on Lake Michigan. Could be somewhere in Canada. Could be anywhere. I assume they like to get high there.
Banzai Pipeline 'Nites: Not sure, but the North Shore of Hawaii's island of Oahu is refered to as The Banzai Pipeline.
Boston Bulldogs: A city in the north eastern United States where everyone there thinks they're better than everyone else. amirite? I mean, they even have their own accent.
6th Street Savage Swarm: 6th Street is located in Austin Texas, also known as the live music captial of the world. Best team name in GLB.
Bora Bora Bangaroos: Tropical resort island (French Polynesian) in the Pacific Ocean, very close to Tahiti. Check out urban dictionary's definition of Bangaroo...you'll lol
Stockholm Black Death: Stockholm is the largest city/captial of Sweden. Black Death was one of the deadliest pandemics in the history of the world, happening in the late 14th century.
Gold Coast Michelin Men/Gold Coast Vipers: GC is a city in Queensland Austrailia. This is suppose to be a great city for surfing, sun and nightlife. They're a big deal. That's why they have TWO OPL teams.
Florida BeachDogz: State in the Unites States where there are too many sports teams and old people. They have space shuttles and Disney World. Apparently they also have BeachDogz.
OffTopica Miracle: I don't know but something special happened to Yello1 I guess.
Urban Super Dogs: Take a dog, give him a cape and put him in the hood. Walla!
Mayan Apocalypse: The Mayan people lived in Southern Mexico/Central America. If you've never seen it, do yourself a favor and watch the movie "Apocalypto".
Pro League Homeless Shelter: Build and boost too many dots and this is where you wind up.
Syracuse Synergy: Syracuse is a city in upstate New York. Synegy is when two or more people work together to do something they couldn't have done by themselves...I think.
Black Hand Goal Line Mafia: Formally known as Manhattan, one of the nicer burrows in New York City NY. These guys are gangsta.
Asau Pirates: Town located on the Savii island of Somoa. No one has ever heard of this place, but it's a rated-PG play on the fun term ass pirates. Basically they steal ass.
Sumatra Sea Hawks: Sumatra is an island in western Indonesia. The Sea Hawks are a lame NFL team who wear lime green on their uni's and have lolbattles with other lolNFC West teams.
Eastern European Alliance: also known as the Warsaw Pact, this was the WWII era counter to NATO.
Addict Nation: I believe this is GMan's flagship team for the GLB Addicts. GMan is the "Don" of the largest coalition in GLB. You should know this already.
Razorback Nation: Named for the Arkansas Razorbacks out of Arkansas. Arkansas is infamous for their brotherly/sisterly love. Cousins are fair game. "Uncle Daddy" is a term of endearment.
Tonga Titans: Also known as the Kingdom of Tonga, this group of 50+ islands in the South Pacific. The word "Titan" stems from Greek Mythology. Titans were a group of immortals or Gods...but most importanty it starts with a "T".
San Diego Supa Chargers: San Diego was discovered by the Germans in 1904 and loosely translates to "Whale's Vagina". Supa is how Germans pronounce the word "super".
IC Incinerators: IC stands for "interstitial cystitis" which is a painful bladder infection. Incineratoing your genitals cures IC everytime.
Gensokyo Youkai: Gensokyo is a desolate haughted region of Japan. Youkai are the ghosts or spirits who live there and do the terrorizing. Boo.
Fortaleza Prowlers: Fortaleza is a large city on the north eastern coast of Brazil (pop. 3.4 million). Prowler is UK's leading online gay shopping site. NTTAWWT
Tasmanian Muskrats: Tasmania is the island just south of Australia's south eastern coast. Muskrats don't normally live there, so they're kinda like vagabonds, which is sexy.
Compton Surfin' Con Men: This is like one huge oxymoron, but Compton borders LA to the south in LA county. I don't think anyone who lives there surfs or would refer to themselves as "con men". I dunno.
Thessaloniki Druken Monks: Also known as Salonika or Saloniki is Greece's second largest city. It's known as Greece's "hippest" city. That's why the Monks are drunk. They're cool.

EDIT for S20 new teams:
Hong Kong Voodoo: I'm struggling with this one. They have voodoo in Hong Kong? Isn't voodoo an African thing? I guess "Phooey's" was already taken.
8 Mile Assualt: You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow...
VOLGOGRAD BLACK ARMY: All caps tells you they're important.
Volgograd is in Russia adn the Black Army was an anarchist faction during the Russian Civil War. 
Sin City Silent Assassins: I think everyone knows Sin City is Las Vegas, and add "Silent Assassins" and you got some catchy alliteration. This team is good and in my conference, so no back handed jabs for now.
Idianola Longhorn Legends: Idianola is a ghost town in Texas. That's pretty cool...but it's all down hill from there. The Longhorns are ghey and their gheyness is legendary. True Story
Oberon Bulls: HA! Wiki says: "Oberon (also spelled Auberon) is a legendary king of the fairies in medieval and Renaissance literature."
Oregon Ducks: Wow. Talk about low. Naming your team after the likely favorite college team of Bort and Co, hoping for some magical x-factor. You should be ashamed.
Motown Legends: Motown is pretty cool, better than calling yourselves Detroit. Berry Gordy founded Motown records and who doesn't love Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon?!
Saipan Sin-Eaters: Saipan, interesting island. I think every country in the history of the world has owned this island at some point. I guess Saipan could be thought of as the rest of the world's bitch. What's a sin-eater? Sounds kinky.
Sidney Pelicans: Everyone knows that Sydney is the biggest city in Australia and Oceania...and unlike muskrats, there really are pelicans in Australia. I'm a fan of pelicans myself. Need a dot?
Buda Pests: play on the word "Budapest", which is the captial city (and largest) of Hungary.
