The title is a [[tongue-in-cheek]] [[pun]] on male [[masturbation]] ("take off your pants and jack it"). Previous titles had included ''[[Epileptic]] [[Proctologist]]'',<ref name=launch/> ''If You See Kay'' (a pun on the spelling of "fuck") and ''[[Gentle Ben|Genital Ben]]'', accompanied by a bear on the cover of the album.<ref name="mtv"/> Stressed at being at a loss for a name, DeLonge asked guitar tech Larry Palm for suggestions.<ref name="mtv"/> The album's title was coined by Palm, who was snowboarding on a rainy day. Inside the lodge, Palm was congregating with friends when a young kid walked in completely drenched, to which his mother suggested he "take off [his] pants and jacket."<ref name="mtv"/> Palm was told by DeLonge that if the band were to use the name, he would "hook him up".<ref name="sdreader"/> Instead, Palm received a letter from manager Rick DeVoe for his contribution, which offered a $500 payout for the name. Palm scoffed at the amount, and filed suit in 2003 with the intellectual property attorney Ralph Loeb, alleging breach of contract and fraud against the band.<ref name="sdreader"/> Palm demanded $20,000; the band eventually settled out of court for $10,000.<ref name=sdreader>{{cite journal|author=Ken Leighton |date=September 14, 2011 |title=Naming Rights |journal=[[San Diego Reader]] |url=http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2011/sep/14/blurt1/ |access-date=February 14, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927074908/http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2011/sep/14/blurt1/ |archive-date=September 27, 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Journalist Joe Shooman called the title "a glint of sharp intelligence behind the boys' humour as it draws oblique attention to the fact that, latterly, Blink-182 had often been encouraged to get naked in order to promote themselves. It's a very self-aware album title in that context and a portent, perhaps, of what was to come".<ref name="shooman82"/>
