I wish Cotton was a monkey.
I always make that out as boypterama, like some kind of boy-centric pageant or showcase event.
… you sure it’s boytyperanman ??
I accidentally hit an extra “n” at the end, but you can look it up – boytyperanma.
It apparently parses as BoyTypeRanma, which is the way the name appears on another message board. I don’t know if all the occurrences of this on other Boards are due to the same person, but I suspect they are.
Presumably “Ranma” from this:
Which would explain the “Boy Type” part.
Wow, I thought I was the only one who kept reading it that way.
“Wookinpanub” is one of the great handles on this board.
Thanks, RW; I’m not worthy!
So happy to see the ‘splainin’ I have been trying to figure out what it was an acronym for since I joined (I saw caps, thought acronym)
All these years and I would’ve sworn it was boytyperama. My mind has officially been blown.

Ha, I’ve recognized it all-along. At least i thought I did, so it’s good to have confirmation. And I also play the Fee Times a Mady song in my head when I see your name (though that’s the only other tune I can remember him doing in that skit). I’ll review that you tube link at home tonight… it’s been a long time since i’ve seen it.
Just recently I mentioned in a thread that for years I read it as WORKINAPUB
I always thought of **Shagnasty **as a “Dynasty” with “Shag” as part of it. Didn’t think of it as “Shag nasty.”
This thread makes me smile for multiple reasons (not the least of which is that it conjures imagery of Eddie Murphy singing). But I’m also reminded of dearly departed norinew, with whom I once had a very pleasant and amusing PM exchange over my (VERY late) realization that her username was not actually pronounced nori-new.
She’ll always be** nori-new** to me…
In my head I pronounce it Shaughnessy.
I sure could go for a nice tasty coremelt right about now. I mean tunamelt.
While we are at it, I just noticed last week after all this time that Solost is not Soloist. I just figured with all the musical geniuses we had her that Solost was one more…
WOOKINPANUB I read correctly, because Buttwheat and Gumby, Dammit were a part of my high school years.
Wow. That’s the first anime I ever watched with a friend, and the first anime I watched with subtitles. And yet I totally never made that connection.
I knew WOOKIPANUB was “looking for love,” but did not know the Buckwheat explanation for a long time. Derleth, I think of as some German der Leth. zweisamkeit makes me think of a flat Earth tourist, though I admit I just now got that. I assume epbrown01 is a time clone, that** shunpicker** chooses things to avoid, that you would actually like Red Wiggler when he’s angry (unless you like red or green overalls and wear a mustache), and that there’s only one JZ in a certain zipcode.
Missed Shagnasty: He’s a rich guy living on a remote island, who has a band and will have sex with anything that moves. Or he likes to watch the Dresden Files.
And Gymnopithus is a bird who likes to work out.
There are a couple usernames I have odd reactions to; every time I see Malleus, Incus, Stapes! I sing it in my head to the tune of “Mele Kalikimaka”, the Hawaiian Christmas song.
I also always see mangeorge as “mange-orange”. Dunno why, no reflection on the poster, who apparently hasn’t been around since February 2014.
Mangetout is always Magnet Trout to me.
