What's a flodnak?

I couldn't ask this in any of a dozen or more other threads, without being an off-topic hijack, so I'll post this in a new thread unto itself.

What's a flodnak?

Okay. Got it. Ignorance fought! Now I know. Nothing more to see here. Can sleep now.

(ETA: Geez, it's not like there's nobody else on this board with a user name that's just another name spelled backward, ya think?)

I would have used my IRL name as my Doper handle but "Anna Cuot" was already taken.

And she actually had an earlier name predating that one, but I don't recall it. I just remember it was one word, and it was in lesser-known language, or maybe just not Indo-European.

[Johanna]

It was Lithuanian, which is the champion Indo-European language.

Just don't get that confused with Mojo Jojo. That never ends well.

Thjat one's so old, I'm surprised you tried to pullet on us.

I think my brain just doesn't work that way. I didn't get Der Trihs until someone spelled it out, either. (and, yes, I know that it's also a character in fiction.) Nor did I get Drainbead.

Flodnak != Foldnak.

"flodnak", if I recall correctly, is from back in the alt.fan.cecil-adams days, if not earlier.

Flodnak! = Flodnak factorial
