What's in a name?

[Incredible Bullshitting Man]

People assume me and Incredible Bullshitting Man are the same person. (Thank you Iron Ninja).

But we are, we are. I´m always here, inside yo...Hey! Where´s Dylan?

I, I don´t know you anymore *runs away crying*.

 

[Woem]

I actually noticed this in Kingdom Of Loathing where the username "Woem" was already taken so I took "Woemwoem". After a long time it appeared that people were reading the name as "woe women" or as the backwards of "meow meow" and because apparently I'm a gentle person (a gentleman as it were) people that didn't check my profile assumed I was female, and until realizing this they tended to be a lot more friendly and helpful.

So for me the question is not so much "what's in a name" but "what's in a gender". And the answer is "a whole lot".

People have absolutely no idea what mine's about, which is fine by me.

do you have a recipe for crutons involving pubic hair?


-A

 

[TSED]

Mine is always met with one of the following:

Confusion.
Curiousity.
Ignorance. (As in, they ignore it.)

 

[johnman]

Well I think people guessed that I'm called John and male. Theres not else you can read into my name.

 

[Andalusa]

I don't know what people make from my user name, it's not really that interesting.
But my avatar might make people think I'm like a... kitten. All cute and fluffy and nice.

 

[doctorjackal777]

I always use this one. I'd explain it but I get some flamming.

That I am a cynical bastard who despises humanity and thinks they are nothing more than robots; pre-programmed to live out their lives with out any real control or individuality?

Huh. See, on first look I thought you were a robot salesman. Go figure.

You are clearly unaffiliated with the genius that is the Mighty Boosh. Perhaps a spicy carrot and corriander will help?

[lolmynamewastaken]

that some one took my name?
if i ever find you...!

 

[Ginnipe]

My name makes people think of guine pigs (and i can't even spell them) because of how many people pernounce it. It's purnounced gini-p, not giny pig.

 

[annoyinglizardvoice]

I imagine my name suggests that I might troll a lot, or that I expect not ot be listened to.

It's actually an old joke from my uni days.

 

[halflobster]

That half of me is a tasty shellfish

 

[Gadzooks]

People just seem to ignore me most of the time, but that happened under my old username anyway... So that might be because no one quite agrees with my opinion or is not totally against it... Or something...

 

[Chimpzy_v1legacy]

Username? That I'm hairy and fling shit at people?

Avatar. Acid trip. Definately.

 

[ThrobbingEgo]

Not at all. Don't worry about it. Actually, that was also another part of my problem with it.

Ha, people always thought you were an old man?

That, and some people assumed I was an expert. Or that I was pretending to be an expert.
