I don’t know kn*ckers at all, though I enjoy her posts (I think kn*ckers is a she…) but based on this thread I had a weird thought…
In my head I pronounce kn*ckers as knickers, but it could be a whole whack of things, which is the great thing about that name. Reading her line about her ovaries, made me think that some may pronounce it as knockers, or some such.
How do you pronounce it? Do you even pronounce it, or do you curse the name because of its sheer flexibility?
I pronounce it “Kay En Star Curs”.
I don’t find it to be the most euphonious user name on the board…
“Throatwarbler Mangrove”
I always say knockers, like the kind that go in your hair
Nckers. (Of course, I’m probably the only person on the boards who mentally pronounces MPSIMS as Mpsims.)
Vwls r fr wmps.
I always think of Les Dawson (A British comedian who passed away about 10 years ago). One of his characters was a dirty old man, who would leer at the camera and shout “Knickers, Knackers, Knockers”.
That’s imprinted in my memory, so every time I see the name ** kn*ckers** I pronounce it the same way:
[Les Dawson]
Knickers, Knackers, Knockers!!
[/Les Dawson]
I always read it “knickers.” But I like it when she replaces the * with a phrase that relates to her post. It’s cool.
I have $10 that says knickers.
Another thread dedicated to her… she’s going to get a swelled head now.
Kn*ckers is Knockers and MPSIMS is Empsims.
You’re lucky.
All mine says is “This Note is Legal Tender For All Debts Public and Private” and boring crap like that.
So, MeanOldLady, what’s Hamilton wearing on his head on your $10?
“Kno-pants.” The “ckers” is silent.
This is evidence of the Borg-like tendencies of the SDMB. I was just wondering the very same thing last night.
I think it’s Knickers.
How could you not like a poster whose user name is partially “Starkers”?
Kn[bleep]ckers.
Either that or “semprini.”
Why, knickers, of course. When is Kn*ckers gonna tell us what was running through her head when she made that name? How does she pronounce it? It’s knickers, isn’t it? Inquiring minds want to know!
For the Monty Python-impaired, look up the sketch “Words Not to Be Used Again on this Programme”.
Knickers.
MPSIMS is Mip-sims. Worse, IMHO is Im-ho.
K’-nasterisk-kers.
I say “knackers” as in “sent to the…”
