I think we need a name for something worse than a wastebasket taxon. Perhaps for a taxonomic name that causes more problems as it careens around datasets, a “dumpster fire taxon” if you will

Side note but one of my goals is to have a hypothesis with a cool name. “Red Queen”, “Elvis taxa”, why do we let the invert people get all the cool ones?
