"Quantum database."
Explanation:
Insert Into T(I) Values(0);
Commit;
Update T Set I=1;
Now if users do
Select Sum(I) From T;
some will get 0, some 1, and some Null at the same time. As you can see,
the database is in the superposition of several states.

Perhaps instead of voting for slogan there can be much more fun
voting for some representative contribution to this important list:
How to Shoot Yourself in the Foot:

(or on hundreds other addresses)
Some initial ideas:
-----
CONNECT Foot.fdb;
ALTER TABLE T ADD A INTEGER NOT NULL;
GBAK -backup Foot.fdb Bullet.fbk;
GBAK -replace Bullet.fbk Foot.fdb;
-----
After you shoot yourself in the foot, nobody will notice it,
since you got faint and did not Commit.
