The site name comes from The Office season 1 episode "The Alliance," where Dwight moves the office watercooler next to his desk so
he can hear all of the gossip regarding a downsizing rumor. When two of his coworkers come by for a drink, he asks them "So, what do you
hear? What's the scuttlebutt?"
For those wondering about the phrase itself, 'scuttlebutt' is the word for the barrel that holds the fresh water on ships. The scuttlebutt
resembles today's watercooler, and has become a slang term for gossip, since much gossip is exchanged at office watercoolers.
