When me and my bros/sisses on the UFO forum pluralize UFO, it is UFO's.

But we do have the "tinfoil hat" exemption 😉

Maybe.
Is "Tinfoil hats" an adjectival phrase or a euphemism for UFO conspiracy theorist?

Scouse phonetics or Bananabender phonetics?

There is an Apostrophe Island which I believe NZ lays claim to.

Wikipedia:
Apostrophe Island (73°31′S 167°26′E) is a small ice-covered island lying close off Spatulate Ridge in Lady Newnes Bay, Victoria Land. The name is descriptive of the appearance of the island in plan and was given by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1966.
