what do you think my name means?

I ‘carefully’ selected my user name here. and since then have discovered:

  1. Many folks assume I’m male (I’m female)
  2. No one (so far) has independently figured out the basis of it.
  3. Most people express some level of surprise when they find out.

So, I’m wondering - what image am I projecting w/the screen name?

(for those who know, no fair telling, ok?? :wink: )

Someone who does a ton af laundry, but your dryer is always mysteriously broken.

I know! I know! (But I aint tellin’!)
I always read your user name as a verb, as in “I’ll wring everything I can out of this subject”. (Can’t remember if the first post I saw from you reinforced that perception. :wink: )

I always think of wring someone’s neck. One of my mother’s favorite sayings when I was growing up.

Just a dumba** guess:

[ul]wedding ring :frowning: [sup]Well I warned you, didn’t I?[/sup][/ul]

One other thought.

A fearsome deathrow killer who strangled all the victims to death!

I wreally have no idea.

I too initially thought of “to wring someone’s neck.”

Then I thought, “maybe it has to do with wiring, or perhaps a warring faction of some primitive tribe of females that specializes in being mistaken for males.”

Hmm…

wringwring.

Hello?

I always think of someone squeezing the water out of a towel when I see your username.

I also always assumed you were male. The username just has a masculine feel to it. I don’t know why. Somehow the phrase “wring has testicles” just sounds more plausible to me than “wring has a vagina”.

I thought of hand wringing. Like you’re worried. About what, I can only guess.

The baggage retrieval system they’ve got at Heathrow, maybe?

Ditto on what MachV said. A hand wringer usually comes to mind, although Mr. Visible’s answer cracked me up.

And yes, I thought you were female.

“web” ring?
“with” ring? (like you’re married)
Wynona Ring?
Ringworm?
“Wow, look at the rings around her?”

D’oh!
I was thinking wedding ring too…

I just didn’t know it was stupid— :wink:

wascally rabbiting?

My best guess would be that you really liked that YA book ** Wringer** by Jerry Spinelli.

Do you have a collar fetish?

I must admit I thought you were male as well, and for some reason I would think of a bird. I’m not sure why, since it’s nothing like “wring a bird’s neck” or anything, but I see a little sparrow-like bird.

Hey, can I use your idea for this thread as a start of another, since I wanted to do this with my username, but didn’t want to hijack your thread. :slight_smile:

zweisamkeit, are you thinking about a wren?

wring, is your name Rosie?
