Misreading Member's Names

[trampledamage]

[For anyone interested (so, I guess no one ), it means "thundering iguana" and it's pronounced "ee-GWAH-nah toh-NAHN-teh". The more you know.

Wow - I actually pronounce it correctly

And with all this talk of tomatoes, I was wondering what it really meant...

 

[cooleddie74]

I hate to think or ask what people have misinterpreted MY screenname to say.

Funnily enough, the Italian word for tomato is pomodoro, which literally means "golden fruit": leave it to the Italians to have nonsensical but beautiful names for common objects.

Well, it just shows you how much they valued it

Me too. Except it's hard to say without waving your hands around.

"coo-LAY-dee sett-AHNT-a-quatt-roh"?

That's actually a lot less offensive than what I THOUGHT someone would say.

The first time I saw Vulcan Princess post, I misread it as Vulcan Priestess and it's kind of mentally stuck in there now.

When I read "cooleddie", I'm involuntarily ripped from reality and thrown into a room with the lyrics from Grease2 blasting out "cool, cool, cool eddie..."

Do you know the only way to shut up an Italian? Tie his hands behind his back!

OH MY GOD! that's exactly how I pronounce it!

At some point, I couldn't remember if it was Trekker4747 or Trekker7474.

Apparently, no one involved with GREASE 2 had heard about the Bird.

I misread hamudm as "humdrum"--no offense meant.

I must be dense (entirely possible, by the way) because I don't get the joke, I'm afraid.

Although the occasional poster has referred to me as PKTechGirl, which is, of course, the name of the Farscape episode from which my username is derived.

No joke...just my own silliness when ever seeing your name...that letter "N" always is there.

Pay no mind to me Jerfire.

Well, glad I wasn't missing a joke that was otherwise obvious to all, anyway.


But we both did the same thing. You added an "N" to PKTrekGirl....and I added an "N" to Flukie. That was years ago, I did that...and I'm still a bit embarrassed over it.

My insanity would make more sense if I put the "N" somewhere else...like PKTrekNGirl. I must be thinking "Niner" that is where the "N" is coming from.

I once thought 1001001 was 1000101!

That's ok, I always thought he was 11001001 like the episode.

I've said this before, but I hope Zion Ravescene wasn't offended when I thought his name was Zion Ravenessence.

I keep reading his name as “Zion Ravenscene.” I picture a bunch of black birds having a wild party in Israel.

 

[pookha]

People often add an "a" to the middle of my name. Snaploud somehow becomes Snapaloud.

done that..

my name is a play on being dyslexic.
pookha instead of poohka.

 

[Snaploud]

done that..

No worries...

I always read TerekNor's posts as coming from TerekNoir

 

[Emher]

Well people seem to at times mispell my name as "Ehmer". And I had real trouble to stop reading "Zion Ravescene" as "Zion Ravenesque"
