When something is generally implied to be more important or special because someone went out of their way to make the name as uninteresting and nondescriptive as possible. This might be because they want to avoid drawing attention to the unit, hiding it in the sea of boring names for various unimportant agencies, or just because the sort of Badass who works there finds the bravado-filled names of many elite units to be distasteful. For various reasons, very common in many modern Western armed forces. A Super-Trope to Room 101 and and The Group; Related to Maximum Fun Chamber.

For various reasons, very common in many modern Western armed forces. A savvy character might try to bluff his way past an obstacle by identifying themselves as a member of some completely fictional agency, as long as the name is intimidatingly vague enough to make the other person think better than to investigate. Of course, sometimes an agency has such a bland name because it really isn't all that important, and nobody involved could be bothered to try and come up with a good name for it. A Super-Trope to Room 101 and and The Group; Related to Maximum Fun Chamber. Examples of Unusually Uninteresting Name include:
