Does it annoy you

[khashka]

if people mangle your screen names?

If it's an affectionate nickname based on your screen name?

I'm really bad about this.... is it kinda sweet or is it annoying?

1. People call me "Stargazer" all the time

I don't really mind - it's a logical error. So I guess my answer is "no".

[bridgit]

2. no...

5. Well having checked out the link

Will you show me your spreadsheets? Privately of course :)

Khash.

7. That's a bit of a personal question isn't it?

:P

[khashka]

19. So she and I should get a room?

I was being a gentleman and asking polite questions about her software, so to speak.

You have a dirty mind, tj, and ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Khash.

8. i'll send you a price list...

:D 1st things 1st :rofl:

[SarahB]

3. I used to have another screen name.

"populistmom"

People didn't mangle it, but everyone kept calling me mom (over and over). My view is that if you didn't grow in my uterus, I don't want you to call me mom. :D

[khashka]

9. I always refer to you as SarahBelle

because it's too cool a name to mess with it. And knowing where it came from only makes it cooler.

But I do sometimes call progmom "progmama". I can't help it but wonder if it might be a little too, well, familiar. Having not even the most casual relationship with her uterus and all that.....

(Oh gods I feel ashamed of this post, but not enough to delete it)

[progmom]

15. hey cash...

:P

j/k

khash - i love you - you can call me anything you want. :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

4. So far I've only mangled 1 or 2 screen names

I think ...

[khashka]

10. I have a tendency to call you Joanie

Hope you don't mind:)

Khash.

[In_The_Wind]

13. I like it when you call me 'Joanie' ...

I would like it even better if you would call me Joani as only my very best friends do ...

[khashka]

16. I would consider it an honour Joani

Thank you :)

Khash.

6. Poor little shaka

Sorry - couldn't resist. :loveya:

Mine does not tend to get mangled - it's easily within folk's normal world of usage.

I would guess that it's simulteneously sweet and annoying - depending on the person concerned.

[khashka]

11. A while ago, back before I fell in love with you

I could never get your name right. Check the archives - I called you Mr. Mason.

Now I'm dieing for the opportunity to call you Tommy Jimmy.

:)

Khash.

[tjwmason]

12. If you dare

I'll put you on ignore - and I'm not kidding around here. :nuke:

You're more than welcome to call me Mr. Mason again - I like a dash of formality. :P

[khashka]

17. OK, TJ I had to do it once

It's out of my system. I promise I'll never do it again.

But somehow an innocent post has reversed everything, Mr. Mason. Now I'm the one grovelling :)



Khash.

[tjwmason]

20. Nothing grovelling about it.

Just formal Mr. Khashka (is there a surname part there?).

:loveya: still - just in case you were wondering.

B.T.W. any response to my P.M.

[JVS]

14. Never had it happen to me

[Richardo]

18. I get the occasional 'Ricardo'

The only reason it bugs me is that I seach on my username frequently, and the 'Ricardos' don't hit.

[khashka]

22. I plead guilty

I hear it in my head as Ricardo.... I will try harder in future :)


Richardo, Richardo, Richardo.... got it.

Khash.

[MisterP]

21. I've never been nicknamed, or, to my knowledge even mentioned

www.googlism.com gives some interesting results on some variants, though (and others')

[ahem]

23. Aw, Khashy, no one ever mangles mine affectionately...

Sometimes I wish they would :P

[khashka]

24. It's kinda tough to do...

But if I call you Ah! Me! would it help? Best I can do on short notice. I'll try harder in future, but it's the best I can do off the cuff:)

Khash.

[ahem]

26. It'll do in a pinch!

:hug:

[GOPisEvil]

25. Some people call me just "GOP"...which is ok by me, but...

...I have to admit it is a bit odd that someone on a Democratic website is referred to as "GOP". ;)

[khashka]

27. I generally just think of you as Evil

But it's a nickname, not a description :)

Khash.

[GOPisEvil]

28. Good move.

There's also a GOPBasher and GOPFighter. Too much GOP here, dammit. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. MINE is impossible to mangle, my dear Khash..

Since you can call me any variation on CaliforniaPeggy that you want!

As long as you call me something .....

Did you check your PM yet?

Please...

:blush:
