What does the C.K stand for in "C. K. Dexter Haven"?

Just curious.

Do you mean the Cary Grant character in The Philadelphia Story or our own cute ‘n’ cuddly Dex

The name is that of Cary Grant’s character in Philadelphia Story, 1940. Grant played Katherine Hepburn’s playboy husband. I don’t recall that it was ever made clear in the film what the initials stood for, so possibly the answer is – no one knows.

If you mean the moderator, it may be correct to say that no one knows except C. K. Dexter Haven.

It stands for “CK Knows.” :wink:

It doesn’t seem to be stated in the 1939 Phillip Barry play, either

Well, since it seems that’s where our Dex got his name, then…both.

Huh. You learn something new every day. Serves me right for not watching AMC more often.

What kind of name is C K Dexter Haven?

Obviously, it stands for “Calvin Klein”. He’s a corporate-sponsored mod. :smiley:

It’s actually a fairly common name, I’ve seen it around. Some science fiction/fantasy writer has acknowledged a “C K Dexter Haven” on his website, and I got confused with that one once. Or twice.

No, it doesn’t stand for “Calvin Klein”, and I’m gonna write down Greywolf’s name in my little book, then draw a line through it.

So any idea what it does stand for? Surely the guy who made it his own nick must have SOME idea? :eek:

It’s Carnal Knowledge, of course.

Au contraire, Shibb, it’s Cecil’s Knight.

And you will know what my “O” stands for.

I can’t decide between:

HECK, AX NERD VET

HACK EX-VET NERD

If you would go over to the Wet Canvas message board and search our friend’s name you will receive a great surprise.

Orenthal?

Nope. Cow Killer.
Don’t ask.

You trying to frame me for another murder?

I’m almost afraid.
My personal opinion is Child Killer.

Okay…well, maybe not.
I hope I don’t get banned for saying that.
