Oh yeah, rucciface: Does your name mean anything? If so, what? If I were to tell you that you have the rucciest face I’ve ever seen, would I be complimenting you, insulting you, hitting on you, or spouting utter nonsense?
At the moment your name is nonsensical to me, and that’s the way I like it.

Miss Purl McKnittington. It just seems so…excessive. I love it!
Also, nongoog. But I usually end up pronouncing it “noongog”. :smack: :smack: :smack: Is it possible to make a stupider mistake than that? I doubt it. Gawd I’m an idiot!
I bet Shagnasty is a demon in the sack…

Oh yeah, Mbossa? You know what I do with your name? ALL. THE. TIME? You remember that scene in the Lion King when the hyenas are talking about Mufasa? I wind up mentally saying, “Mbossa Mbossa MBOSSA!!!” And making the shivering sound like the other hyena. 
Of course, if you haven’t seen The Lion King, forget I said anything.:smack:
Or, see it just to know what I’m talking about.

It sounds even better with a Southrun Geo’gia accent as spoken by Howland Owl or Churchy LeFemme.)

I say the whole thing, even though the pronunciation may be wrong.
I also say Guinastasia, jinwicked (whatever happened to her?), Quiddity Glomfuster, Monstre, and diggleblop (sp?).

I’ve mentioned this before, but I always think of a scene from Will & Grace (I know, I’m a big doofus) when the two of them are vying for the affection of a new neighbor and trying to outdo each other. The neighbor mentions that the artifact that Will is admiring is from Mombosa and Will affects this pretentious voice and says “ah yesssss…Mombosa”. Then later, Grace mocks him with a perfect imitation of it. Okay, it doesn’t * sound * funny, but it cracks me up every time I watch it and makes me smile every time I see ** Mbossa**'s name. Oh, and every time I see ** Zebra** I think “hello zeeba neighbor”.
I will be shutting up now.
Bob Loblaw. Try saying his name three times fast and see if you don’t get a chuckle trying to get it right. Go ahead, I dare you.

So, I’m not the only one?
I like to imagine pulling out my sword and proclaiming, “Melondeca!” With a Spanish accent, of course. And Quiddity Glomfuster is my earworm as I stagger to the shower upon awakening and my brain is still asleep. It helps me to wake up.

Haven’t seen The Lion King? HAVEN’T SEEN THE LION KING?! Of course I’ve seen The Lion King! Whatd’ya think I am, some kind of…ummm…some kind of…person…who…ahhh…hasn’t…seen The Lion King? 
I haven’t seen it for a good ten years, though, and I don’t really remember that scene. I think my friend has it on DVD. Maybe I should borrow it from her sometime so I can see what you’re talking about. Yep, just so I can watch that scene. Not because you’ve just made me really want to see it again or anything, no no.

Can’t say I’ve seen this one, though. I’ll have to keep an eye out for anyone with DVDs. Would you happen to know the episode title or number? I don’t want to become a fan of it just so I can see that scene. Or do I? I don’t know. I might be able to get into it if they ever make a version with a different voice dubbed over Karen’s.
Don’t mind me folks, I’m just buzzing from the idea that some people out there notice me. :D:D:D

Yeah, I get that one too. Especially when I read a thread where someone talked about hearing his name to “Ding dong, the witch is dead!” Gets stuck in my head constantly.

The other ones that sound so nice to me, though I mispronounce them, are Mange-tout…
[/QUOTE]
No, that’s actually correct. or it might be - it’s mange tout (French for eat all) not mange tout (a hawker of skin diseases). But it’s definitely not Man Get Out.
BTW, I’m another fan of Quiddity Glomfuster’s name. Also jjimm - if I ever meet jjimm face to face, I won’t be able to stop myself calling him ‘Jujimumuh’.
One username that kept running through my mind a few days ago was Lobelia Overhill - but I kept mispronouncing it as Labia Overkill!
