Let's all sit in a circle and ponder the deeper meanings of the BFG from Doom.

First statement wasn't 100% serious, but you really should have thought about the validity of this theery.

Not sure how much Pixel knows about Greek mythology, but if the gun's name is to do with vengeance, I would assume it's to avenge Curly. Since you fight Misery and the Doctor with it.

Also, Hayden, why u completely disregard GIRs answer for the spur?

It's the most legitimate (and probably correct) of all the theories about the Spur, much better than any of your theories, by a long shot.

First off, I want everyone to know that I make no attempt whatsoever to deny that posting this theory of mine was a huge mistake. I seriously cannot describe how embarassed I am right now.
Secondly, the reason I did not address GIRakaCHEEZER's theory is because I think Dunc's to be possible as well. If anybody has something to add to this topic about anything other than the logic behind the names of guns in Cave Story, then please do not post on this topic.

I'd be really great at procrastinating if I ever got around to it.

You mean Dunc's theory in which he blames localization?
Erm...

I fail to see how that's more valid than GIR's "the name Spur is a mistranslation, the weapon's name should be Trail. Like the trail it leaves behind it." theory.

...I'm gonna have to stick with GIR with this one.

No it's not exactly a mistranslation, it would still translate to "Spur" but when the japanese say SPUR they are talking about the german word aka "Trail".
