I think the localized stand names are decided by Shueisha/Lucky Land to keep consistency through different works like games and manga. This wouldn't have been the first one they changed, probably due to people making fun of Flaccid Pancake.

They're not worried about lip flaps--they've always had to add extra syllables. Porunarefu, Za Warudo and things like that. It's possible they realised they can get away with cheekier names.

To be fair, those are longer names in the original source material, thus giving more lip flaps to work with in english.

Also to be fair in the other way, Flaccid Pancake is only one more syllable than Limp Viscuit, and both are shorter than Japan's Rinpu Bizukitto

Limp Vizkit ain't bad tbh, it's funny in the "barely doing the bare minimum" kind of way. It reminds me of Boy Man Man

As if "Limp Bizkit" is somehow literary and sophisticated.

There are a few hints throughout the manga that DIO is extremely traumatized by having to spend 100 years underwater.

And, I mean, understandable.

Yes, it's always less syllables in English. Both Flaccid Pancake and Limp Viscuit are shorter than rinpu bizukitto. FF is also lot shorter than Foo Fighters, and they didn't call her Foolish Fencer or whatever, which is why I'm saying the reason for changing the name can't have been the lip flaps.

Foolish Fencer would be a name for her if the copyright free guy ever does part 6

Boy Man Man is genuinely good imo, and I say it as a dedicated irrational dub hater who'd rather never watch the anime at all than watch it dubbed!!
