Deliberately distorting someone’s screen name in order to insult them is frowned upon on this board, and rightfully so. But some names just cry out to be parodied.
Like mine: EddyTeddyFreddy. If I were going to zing me (please, let’s not discuss how often I deserve it :p), I’d go with: MuddyFuddyDuddy.
If you were going to mangle your moniker, play with your persona, what would you do to it?
Well, no matter how many times I say that my moniker is taken from that of my patron saint, a quite male Greek bishop and martyr whom I have a lot of respect for, the fact that the first four letters are, in order, 80% of the girl’s nickname Polly leads people to believe I’m a woman. But what really fits your OP is the number of times people swap the order of the A and the R, occasonally accidentally. :mad:
Thanks to my honorary grandkids’ execrable taste in cartoons, what your name, ETF, always reminds me of is “Ed, Edd, and Eddy.”
Some of the variants on folks’ usernames I’ve thought of when getting cynical and witty, but never used:
[ul][li]Jersey Rhinestone[/li][li]Gauddammit[/li][li]Fairly Fat Mom[/li][li]Wireddave[/li][li]Rjong (as opposed to Rjight)[/li][li]Damntheman (I did use this one playfully once, in response to a pun on my name)[/li][/ul]
and I’ve nearly hit submit twice after misstating our leading Eastern Orthodox Doper’s name, after the meta-search engine site, as Dogpile, catching myself barely in time both times.
Ah, yes. If you should ever insult horses in a thread, be prepared for me to point out that it beHooves you to think twice, lest you be set upon by stampeding Clydesdales.
When I’ve put in a hard day’s work at the barn, mucking, feeding, grooming, riding, and so forth, I might justifiably be referred to as CruddyMuddyBuddy.
Gosh, Polycarp – as it happens, I WAS thinking about how your name could be distorted when I dreamed up this thread. I can go you one better, though – how about Ploycrap?
(Laughing maniacally and fleeing the jurisdiction)
Hmmmm, since I cannot seem to come up with a good slam of a substitute for my own nick, I will have to defer to the teeming millions to find one for me.
With a handle like “Fishhead”, who needs to poke fun?? But you could say Fishface, I guess.
When I was new to the internet, and a (shudder) AOL user, I chose “CARPSUCKER” as my name. Hey, I’m a fish biologist, and a carpsucker is an actual fish, with what I thought was a humorous name. AOL being what it was, you would be surprised at the number of people who thought there was some sort of sexual connotation.
