[QUOTE=Harmonious Discord] This borders on a personal attack because you don’t like their name. Somethings should stay private and left unsaid. [/QUOTE] It doesn’t sound like a personal attack to me. If **Amber** had picked a better thread title, and maybe not called herself a bitch, it wouldn’t look like one at all. Meanwhile I think the Doper in question has probably explained his handle in the past, since it leads some people to think he’s a woman. I’ll see if I can find it. ---

[QUOTE=WhyNot] I hope a German Doper will tell me the truth. When I was a kid, my mom (who also called me that) made a funny face and stammered that it meant “princess”. When I got older, she admitted it meant something akin to “the favorite concubine of the prince” (!) Some online searching reveals either “little boy” or “little penis” (!). I suspect there are several layers of Victorian slang muddying the waters here.

Can we get a thread to pick on other users’ handles? I personally think that the user name of the author of the following post is quite ridiculous. ---

[QUOTE=postcards] [One two three four five six seven eight! Schlemiel! Schlimazel! **Hasenpfeffer** Incorparated!](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laverne_&_Shirley) I’m ashamed to know this. [/QUOTE] I don’t EVEN have to click on that link to know it’s about Laverne and Shirley. 😃 In fact, I’ve always thought of Laverne and Shirley when I saw her user name. Or at least I did half the time. The other half, I focused on the Bambi aspect and wondered if she might could possibly be THIS Bambi on holiday in Thailand [here](http://www.pbase.com/theo/bambitown&page=all). May not be completely safe for work, hehehe. 😃 ---
