Description The presentation is the very first linguistic analysis of the language of Czech geocaching. Because of the specific nature of cache locations, it is recommended that a new toponymic category be introduced for caches, namely cacheonyms. The contributions pointed out the main naming types for cacheonyms, as well as the linguistic creativity of cachers, who rely on specific use of certain salient linguistic forms and wordformation patterns to construct their virtual group identity.
