I don't even miss days and I'm five pages behind every time I come to this thread.Good lord, I miss a couple days and I'm 20 pages behind! (insert meme of Troy from Community walking into chaos)
Only until you ask if it does.
One of those instances where you can hear the quote exactly the way it was yelled onscreen
Don't worry. I think etiquette here is to jump in and be loud.
PIVOT!
Accept that.
Except what.
No actual people in your life named Karen, I take it.
I know one. Distantly. She lives up to the name.
My name's John. Do you know how many shit jokes and flushing jokes I've had to endure?
My name is literally three first names and three English king names rolled into one, and my surname can also be used to make toilet jokes. How I haven't had more teasing comments thrown my way over the decades I don't know, but I'm glad some people either had the restraint or weren't creative enough.
If we liken alternate universes to space bubbles, then they would have to be separated by a distance to keep them from interfering with each other? Then wouldn’t the distance between them be Subspace? Literally the space between space.
Just a theory.

With my name I have had people poke fun from time to time on Friday the 13. Not as much as you might expect. Most people who have insulted tended to just call me fat in a mean way but also not as much you might expect. Probably because I don't make enemies that much.
I think maybe the most hurtful example though was when I was getting out of my truck at my house, some teenager guys or young guys drove by and yelled "Fat Ass" as they speeded through the street in their car, but they were gone before I had time to barely even register it. It was kind of shocking to me because like I have mentioned, people usually aren't that insulting to me. Unless they doing it behind my back or something, which I wouldn't know about.

my actual name
My name has a unique spelling so mispronunciation was common, but not horribly so. It doesn't lend itself to rhyming so managed to avoid too much teasing, at least on the name front.
Now, the guy I felt bad for was my coworker Jake, who worked in retail at the height of the "Jake from State Farm" commercial popularity. Wearing a name tag meant people would often reference the commercial while he rang them up.

As a Richard, I have no shortage of anecdotes in which people believe they are the first person ever to refer to me as ‘dick’.
They don’t get very far with the idea.
Star Trek has had cringe dialog throughout its inception.Okay so we all have weird names.
Star Trek?
Newer Trek is not any worse at this than previous iterations.
Star Trek is considered "Nerdier" than Star Wars.
Star Wars has had it's "Cringe Dialogue" moments as well, just not as many as us in Star Trek.
We're not the "Cool Sci-Fi Franchise" that Star Wars is in many people's eyes.
But that's only because it sits at the top of the Sci-Fi Media IP Franchise in terms of Popularity & Total Revenue.
Top 5 Sci-Fi Franchises:
1) Star Wars…≈ $46.70 Billion (_4th OverAll)
2) Star Trek … ≈ $11.20 Billion (32nd OverAll)
3) Halo ……… ≈ $_6.80 Billion (58th OverAll)
4) Avatar … … ≈ $_5.78 Billion (63rd OverAll)
5) Gundam … .≈ $_5.00 Billion (68th OverAll)
And there's no other major Sci-Fi Franchise in between that massive Gulf, and there's another Massive Gulf after Star Trek as well.
Everything else not listed is another IP in another Genre (see link above), so it's not a straight Apples to Apples comparison as compared to the others that are Sci-Fi IP's first.
