it means “turkey breast” in Hungarian. don’t ask me why. i’m not Hungarian, nor am I a big fan of turkey breast, really… it was that one day i logged into yahoo, i tried to create an account that consisted of one word without special characters. after trying such things like: nevermore, solipsist, solipsism, ratatouille, chevapi, cevapcici, ajvar and other words in various languages i finally hit upon “pulykamell” and it stuck. incidentally, if anyone is interested, it’s pronounce, POOY-kaw-mell" but y’all can just call me “puly.” 🙂 ---
