Hey! Be careful where you sling that Doper name abbreviation, 'kay?

Over in the Hi, I’m Esprix, an attention-hungry whore, TwistofFate referred to the OP, Kang and Kodos as K+K.

As one who occasionally gets referred to variously as KtK, KTK, and even (shudder) K2K, I’d like to respectfully request care be taken when abbreviating user names.

To tell the truth, if I had my druthers, my user name would only ever be shortened to Knead by other dopers, simply because I can’t ego-surf for any of the K?K variations. But that, alas, is not something I can control. It’s not that bad, really. Even K2K is preferable to hey, asshole. :wink:

Anyway, thanks!

How do you suggest one “takes care”?

I think a more productive way to go about it is for people to say what they prefer to be called. How about you first?

I hear ya. One month later, I am still pouting and moping over someone mixing me up with someone else.

But who’s going to remember that when three thousand people post their preferences? Eh, WE? :slight_smile:

I would like to only be addressed as Throatshot the super-intelligent, whose beauty lights up a room. She’s also one heckuva nice gal. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

I wouldn’t sweat it…I don’t think Kang and Kodos was offended…

Funny, I thought I did that.

How could we tell? :wink:

From now on I will be known as “Calvin — BOY . . . of DESTINY!!!”

Call me Thom Sireavux.

Ooh, ooh, can I get in quick here and request to be referred to as “His Majesty” ?

If it helps swing the deal I promise to appear on balconies occasionally to wave to you all. :smiley:

Just don’t call me 'ron.

I’ve noticed some people have problems when they address me. They call me Syzyzyz…, or Syzywhatever, or some other terribly clever thing. My name is six letters long, and is an actual English word. Would it kill you to type it correctly? Thanks so much.

You know what? I’ve been abbreviated as MM, Max, Mighty M, Maximino, and just plain Mighty, and I don’t give a damn. In fact, it makes me feel pretty good that someone read my post, and since I’m not active enough for anyone to Pit me, and no one’s calling on my specialized expertese anywhere else, I guess it doesn’t really matter.

Although, I’ve got to admit that M[sup]2[/sup] would be pretty cool.

I think Eve pointed out once that it was probably a mistake to shout “Uke Ike!” across a crowded New York City barroom during Dopefests.

I usually get shortened to “Ike,” because no one ever notices my sig.

I’ve been addressed as both Dirty and Earthworm, when in actuality I prefer to be known as “Bootylicious” Billy Bajonga.

Actually, I will probably never be called this, and I will be the only one who finds it humorous in any way. BWAHAHAHAHA! :wink:

-Dirty

No one ever abbreviates me. If they do, they should call me G, along with ample amounts of hip-hop slang.

I prefered to be called “… Him” complete with an ominous pause before and ominous music swell after.

Aw, you just don’t want us to call you Fred anymore.

I don’t much care. “porc” is fine. I don’t particularly like “porky.” There is no Warner Brothers cartoon character called “Porky the Porcupine,” is there?

Porky Pine. He was in Pogo.

You know “Bootylicious” Billy Bajonga in the pit thread about the woman the airplain and the vibrator I replied to you about JinWicked.
I shortened your name in that thead to just Dirty and you know that split second after you hit reply and you panic a bit because you are worried you said something not right?
I was worried that I had shortened your name wrong and you were going to get upset.
