How do you pronounce your forum name?

MotherGunner · 01/02/2008, 07:20 PM

Mine is self explanatory.

"Mother" "Gunner"

nat · 01/02/2008, 07:29 PM

Hahaha, MotherGunner only comes through with like 3 posts a year. I love it. Only 2 left, buddy.

But while we're on the subject, mine is pronounced "Nat," like the bug, in case your IQ is below 30. No, it's not "Nate." Nate is not my name. Do not call me Nate. No, Nat is not short for Nate. No, Nat is not some improper form of Nate. It is not short for Nathan, either. Or Natalie, just to clarify. I trust the majority of the crowd here is capable of grasping this elementary concept, but the general public seems unable. Thank you.

Joe Redifer · 01/02/2008, 07:59 PM

How about Nathaniel? That's what I've always figured Nat to be a short term for. But you never know. My name is short for "Joseph" and I HATE that name.

Anyway my first name is derived from Lord Xenu's eldest subordinate Jzoh, and is pronounced as "Joe" just like the common name Joe, which is very similar to my name.

My last name I made up myself before I was born. It is pronounced exactly as it is spelled. Red. If. Er (as in "her" without the H).

Fuckin' awesome.

rolins · 01/02/2008, 08:12 PM

My name is pronounced as ROL-LINS like "Henry Rollins" but my name only has one L. Used to be my name on Counter-Strike servers couple years ago.

Ceti Alpha · 01/02/2008, 08:39 PM

Ceti Alpha = setee alfa

MissaFX · 01/02/2008, 08:52 PM

It's hard to write down a word break down of mine because it is hard to break down the Mi sound.
Say it like the name Melissa but only say the M-issa part. You say it with 1 sylable though. Missa.

I had a friend named Melissa when I lived in a city a few hours away and Missa was her nickname. I thought it was so cool I stole it after I moved as an email name.

Rainbow_Bright · 01/02/2008, 09:29 PM

This is how you say mine..

"you are so amazing and I love you*

Ceti Alpha · 01/02/2008, 09:30 PM

The Racoons!!! Woot!!

Such an awesome cartoon.

Rainbow_Bright · 01/02/2008, 09:34 PM

I have series one on dvd, but I need more Racoons!!!!!!! ( I also need sleep, its way too late)

Even though kitsune is properly pronounced "kit-soo-nay", you pronounce my name "kit-soo-necks-us" (eh instead of ay)

Turbo D · 01/03/2008, 02:39 AM

Mine is pretty self explanatory, haha. The "D" stands for David though.

Kitsunexus · 01/03/2008, 02:51 AM

Dude, seriously, what the fuck did he do to you? You need to fucking cool it.

Rainbow_Bright · 01/03/2008, 08:11 AM

It could be a compliment! Maybe not..

Like, a Turbo Dick is better than an average dick.

I got this from the scene in Rounders where Matt Damon(Mike) is helping Martin Landau(Abe) and he gets everyone to fold on the river in 7-stud. Then when they ask, "Abe what did you have?" he replies, "Nottin' but a busted straight."

It's kinda laughable now that I think about it, in a five way pot, getting about 15-1 odds on their call, someone will always pick you off.

I just watched a woman using a pneumatic dildo on the internet, and words "turbo dick" just came to mind.

At least now I know what "MotherGunner" is supposed to mean.

Joe Redifer · 01/03/2008, 06:51 PM

I think Mothergunner is addicted to porn. Serious.

Kitsunexus · 01/03/2008, 06:53 PM

Porn is the greatest thing ever (especially with tentacles). How can you not be addicted to it? ¯\(º_o)/¯

Ceti Alpha · 01/03/2008, 10:14 PM

* ceti alpha tried to download pron, but all he got was this stupid forum*

Turbo D · 01/03/2008, 10:18 PM

Paisa49 · 01/07/2008, 12:19 PM

Paisa = Pie-sa. It's slang for "fellow countryman or friend."

Turbo D · 01/07/2008, 02:56 PM

Here in California, we call that name to mexicans. Its like calling them beaner or something, haha

Paisa49 · 01/07/2008, 04:29 PM

In Colombia, it's people that come from the Department (equivalent of a U.S. State) of Antioquia. I travel to Medellin, the capital of Antioquia, relatively frequently. I wouldn't say it's "Costa Rica safe," but the chicks there are hot as hell, and may be worth risking a little something something. I'm just saying.

Turbo D · 01/07/2008, 04:44 PM

hell ya colombian chicks are hot

esteban · 01/08/2008, 09:04 PM

JoshTurboTrollX · 01/09/2008, 10:26 PM

Nothing too hard about turbostar. [Turb-o Starr]

A little fun factoid for all of my fans- I used to be EvilAdol when I first joined in 2002. After lurking for a few years I finally started posting under the name TurboSage. After I forgot that password- I made a 3rd account known as Turbo_Sage.

There will be a test at the end of class!

nat · 01/09/2008, 10:47 PM

So why did you change from Turbo_Sage to TurboStar?

JoshTurboTrollX · 01/09/2008, 10:50 PM

I dunno,

At that moment, I just though it sounded cooler.....

I was playing alot of PSO when i changed it also, so its kind of a tribute like tso or something......

Yeah, I dunno....

Keranu · 01/10/2008, 05:19 PM

I typically pronounce my name as Kurr-ah-new, but the technical way would be Kay-rah-new.

Turbo_Sage, TurboStar, Shubbinman, too many names!

guyjin · 01/10/2008, 05:30 PM

Aha! So you are Turbo_Sage. Good to now. I was getting confused with all the new folks that popped up since I was here last.

CrackTiger · 01/11/2008, 07:55 PM

My name is pronounced by myself the way I assume everyone would read it. Its taken from my favorite arcade game, but even if someone were to say that the official pronounciation should be romanjinized or something, I just say it how it really is.

Pretty much all of the names so far seem to be pronounced how I thought.

I think that I sway between "ker-AA-noo" and "ker-AW-noo", but I'll always pronounce esteban as "Stevek666".

Kitsunexus · 01/11/2008, 08:07 PM

Kay-rah-noo is how I say it.

Whenever I see a post from Keranu, I sing the theme song to the PBS show "Caillou]

What I'd like to know is how the hell do you pronounce "Nödtveidt" ?

Kitsunexus · 01/12/2008, 12:09 AM

Caillou is just more proof that today's children programming just makes kids dumber, unlike stuff like the oldschool Sesame Street, which provided fundamental learning.

I pronounce it "nod teevee edit". I assume the umlaut is gratuitous.
