There's just something about that name, fecal_nugget. I feel that I'm fairly immune to bathroom humor. It takes a lot to gross me out. And yet that names somehow succeeds. So I suppose a certain amount of congradulations for creativity should go out to ole fecal for having somehow captured a term that makes me wince everytime I look at it.

And ordinarily I would simply ignore it. It's his right to post under that name if he so chooses and there certainly are more digusting names just waiting be had. But he has posted several threads that are at least a strong starting point for discussion. If he was just another nimrod I would pay him no mind, but he isn't and I would like to take part in several of his threads. Yet I am held back by one of my cardinal rules that I simply cannot break.

Never debate a piece of poo.

I gotta admit. I can't do it either. I don't even open the threads. I don't even WANT to post in a thread started by someone with that name.

It seems beneath my dignity, somehow. I ain't sure how, exactly, but somehow.

I beg to differ, Zoggie. Aren't you the young woman who posted a message about things she fears about going to college and living in the dorms? One of the things that concerned you was, ahem

Actually, now that I think about it, it might have been Nacho4Sarah who posted that message.

Sorry, Zoggie.

Okay, maybe I actually peed my pants. It's nothing to be ashamed of!

I think it's the word "fecal" that does it. I don't think too many people would have a problem if his name was "butt nugget" or "turd" or "turtle head" or "glob of poo"(OK, maybe glob of poo). But "fecal" somehow makes it sound much more disgusting. I don't really have any theory as to why this is; it seems many clinical-sounding terms such as "breast" and "vagina" turn people off.

Wow! I never thought I'd get such a reaction... now I'm definitely not changing it
As for those of you who might be wondering the origin, It came from a thread way back in the aol board days (maybe not that long ago, but I can't find the post anywhere so I'm assuming it was), regarding the scientific name for a turd.
Blackclaw: may I use "Never debate a piece of poo" in my sig? I like that one.

I'd be honored if you'd use that as your sig.

And I'll try me best to overcome my fecal phobia..

Um. Is it okay if I can't handle the warm-n-fuzziness of all this? I really am beginning to fear seeing fn's name in {{hugging brackets}}.

Ok, I'm going to let my ignorance show, but what's dirty about that name? The only context I've heard it in before is a Tori Amos song by that title. When I just put it through a search engine the only thing other than the song came back were recipes...

For some strange reason, it never occurred to me to assume you were female, fecal_nugget. Don't know why.

Damn straight it was. That's alright, sort of freaked me out for a minute- i thought my alterego was posting to the boards again...hehe.


I also agree with the "fecal"- It's so...er...grody. I implore you- butt nugget is fine...anal dropping is even better. Poopypants helicopter would be great, but not the "f" word.

Warm and fuzzy poo?

I don't think anyone who likes you would suggest you handle fuzzy poo or warm poo, let alone fuzzy AND warm poo.

Just curious -- if you have a wife and kids, what are their names?

I don't find the "fecal" part as disgusting as the "nugget" part. Gold comes in nuggets. Chicken comes in nuggets. Even fish can come in nuggets. Not feces, please not feces.

In all fairness, a chicken nugget is only marginally more appealing than a fecal one.
