Been a while since I’ve seen a good Xzibit meme macro deployed.
(ETA: Writes 100 times, “I will not contribute to the confusion of language.”)

With a naming history a touch more interesting than Boaty McBoatface (from the WP link):
The vessel was originally named "Pieter Schelte" after the engineer Pieter Schelte Heerema (1908 – 1981), father of Allseas' owner Edward Heerema; however, on February 9, 2015 Allseas announced that the name would be changed to 'Pioneering Spirit'.The original name created a controversy due to Pieter Schelte Heerema’s service in the Waffen-SS during World War II, prior to August 1943. Pieter Schelte Heerema subsequently disappeared and joined the resistance in the Netherlands. After the war he was arrested and sentenced to jail for three years because he was assistant director of a Dutch company that conscripted slave labourers for the Nazi war effort, according to the Dutch National Institute for War Documentation. The court later released him after one and a half years on account of his “very important services to the resistance between August 1943 and March 1944.”

In The State of the Art, the Culture* decide to leave the 1970’s Earth alone as a control, so they can verify what happens when they don’t contact them.
No magical space socialists for us 
*(or at least a consensus of the Contact units in the local area)

Thank you for your effort but it’s a lost cause. The new generation has claimed that word for their own use. I wonder how many of them have been thoroughly confused by The Selfish Gene thinking it was a book about how to score internet points.
Edit:
as though a careless child had mixed up two different toy-sets
I like the idea that a child who mixes toy sets is being careless and therefore should be berated. “Timmy, Batman does not exist in the Star Wars universe. Get him out of that Tie Fighter before I take them away.”

“The Siphonaptera” (aka “Fleas”; a nursery rhyme):
Big fleas have little fleas,
Upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas,
and so, ad infinitum.
This salty ol dawg is so proud of everyone here. Virtually all the dad jokes, macros, memes, and puns have been made.
So I guess I’ll sea my way out.

Any ship big enough to hold up other ships should be called the S.S. Constipation.

I kinda like the constant fish puns and sometimes they’re pretty funny, too.
