In the Orthodox Church when a man is ordained a presbyter or consecrated as a bishop the congregation signals their approval by shouting Axios! (Worthy). In extreme cases when a member of the clergy does something deeply scandalous that the faithful see as rendering them unfit for the clerical state they shout “Anaxios!”

Anaxios would be a good name for a sci-fi warship

Is anaxios the Greek word that is used for ‘unworthy’ in 1 Corinthians 6:2: Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
