What's the meaning behind the codenames for MX and antiX?

I think the OP should be the only one to change the title of their post (unless is offensive) even that should be used with caution, I saw people remove the title and replace it with "never mind", that's not very helpful for forum readers.

Thanks Adrian. Since a post earlier on in the thread already mentioned antiX and how it's codenames can't be discussed in this section (I originally posted erroneously in the Mepis section and the thread was later moved here), I think it'd be best to keep the title as is.

For us Yanks, Duck_and_Cover refers to a series of emergency drills kids did in school during the Cold War. My mother more than once had to hide from the pretend nuclear missiles under her school desk.

Now we do them as "Active Shooter" Drills.
