Damn. I think I knew that too. Well as I mentioned elsewhere I’m on day three of a cold turkey smoking quit, so forgive me.

[QUOTE=Harmonious Discord]
This borders on a personal attack because you don’t like their name. Somethings should stay private and left unsaid.

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.

Here’s one comment about it.

See post #16 of this thread. “Bambi” was the customer’s name, and he just picked Hassenpfeffer 'cause he liked it.
[QUOTE=Cluricaun]
Oddly enough I’ve given this thought prior to this thread, and this was always my assumption. I assume someone’s been kind enough to PM **Bambi ** this morning to let her know about this thread, yes?

Bambi is a guy.

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.

Well it’s not the pinnacle of crafty board names or anything but I’ve kind of grown attached to it after all these years. ![]()
Cluricaun old buddy, you do know I was kidding, right? Good.
I have no problems with Cluricaun’s name, it’s the drinking all my beer and whiskey that I have issues with.

Yup, hence the winky smiley. **Wile E ** on the other hand, that’s just tough titty homeboy.

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. May not be completely safe for work, hehehe. ![]()
