Title: Nicknames
Post by: Deezer on June 07, 2004, 08:40:49 PM
What displays in your mind when you see other people's nicknames?

For example, whenever I see "Meowrik" I think of Meowth from Pokémon, and when I see "TEM" I think "Tehm" (the sound of saying TEM in my head). Oh, and "frostbite" used to trigger memories of Flurries from Mario 2. Can you tell I play video games too much?

When I see Hope(N Forever) I think of Mallow from SMRPG for some reason.

Friends? Heh, these are my only friends- grown-up nerds like Gore Vidal; and even he''s kissed more boys than I ever will.

That's funny, when think of Meowrik I think of Meowth from Poke'mon too. What do you think of when you hear "MarlieMoo14"? I got that nickname from my friend Aaron. My cousins would call me Marlie short for Marlana. And Aaron would call me MarlieMoo a couple times.

Most of the time I don't think anything different. For MarlieMoo14 I think "MarlieMoo14."

Before he became staff I always said "Choopperson" in my mind. One day I realized Chupper rhymed with supper. Actually, I probably asked him how he pronounced it.

When I see Deezer, I think "Weezer" for some reason.
When I see Sapphira, I think Sapphire, that blue jewel thing.

When I see Meowrik, I don't think of Meowth from Pokémon, but something else....."Meow, Erik".
Title: Re: Nicknames
Post by: Trainman on June 08, 2004, 02:19:09 PM
I say "T-E~hm" when I see TEM, and "blackmaj" when I see BlackMage.

The "maj" is with the 'soft' or 'short' a sound, BTW.

"Meowrik" can be tricky to pronounce if going fast. I just see the letters and know it's him rather than try and prnounce and making the sound in my head "MEE~erhk" or something. I used to kind of prnouncing them in my head, but seriously, trying to say them aloud can prove quite difficult at times.

Chooperson... heh. I guess it should be Orange County Choppersons. I've known how to pronounce Chup, but then I asked the question of where he got the name "Chupperson," so I guess we're even.***

***- Chup responded to my question: "'Chupperson = "Chup person."

(Actually, once I think about it, I think he thought that I was aksing how to pronounce it, not where he got it.
SO... I will ask again. Where in the world did you come up with the name "Chupperson Weird," Chupperson Weird?

Meowrik also makes me picture Meowth.
koopaslaya makes me think of one of the Koopa Bros.

Most of the time I don't picture anything.  With staff or the few people's pictures I've seen, I picture that.  I didn't have a Weezer impression with Deezer (or Deez nuts for that matter) since I knew him first (but it works the opposite way).  With Chupperson, I always thought of Chu (Japanese for rat) and so always thought of things like Chu Chu Rocket  or or Bombchu (LoZ).  Sapphira sometimes makes me think of Pokemon Sapphire.  Popple makes me think of Popple the game.  Watoad occasionally makes me think of Hypnotoad from Futurama though I usually just remember his  fanart drawing.  If somebody has a distinct avatar (not really applicable here) then I may associate it with that.  Most of the time, it's not an image I get, but a feeling.  Example: Using poor grammar, spelling, and punctuation constantly will give me the impression of some stupid little kid.

I used to think of a cartoon cat when I read Meowrik's name. Like, Garfield or Heathcliff or something.
Now I think of his picture.

Deezer makes me think of his mailbag picture.

MEGAߥTE makes me think of Chewbacca from Star Wars. Absolutely no idea why.

Sapphira makes me think of a really pretty girl with long black hair.

MarlieMoo- a little girl. Like Lilo from Lilo and Stitch.

Lizard Dude-a lizard dude.

Chupperson weird- Einstein, then a big monster made of slimy gunk, then his mailbag picture.

Blackmage- his awesom paint picture. I used to think of a black mage from Final Fantasy.

Frostbite- big icy monster. Or a really thin guy with glasses.

I might be Sadib...

Here's what I visualize:

Deezer-A brown suitcase. Or sometimes just the color brown.

Meowrik-A red cat holding a sword.

Lizard Dude-The "Go 2 Iguanas" mascot iguana.

Chupperson Weird-Chargin Chuck. Actually this nickname brings me a little nostalgia too. I remember when I had to go with my cousing to his mom's friends house for a weekend and babysit the dogs. Now this was before I was even into Mario all that much, so a long time ago. We were looking upstairs and found a Super Nintendo with Super Mario World in it. My cousin played from his friend's save file somewhere in Vanilla Dome. He ran into some Chargin' Chucks and I thought they were WEIRD enemies. I never thought of football and Mario being combined.

Blackmage-A Final Fantasy black mage.

MarlieMoo-As earlier put, a cow from MooMoo Farm.

Hope (N Forever)-Oddly, I think of Mallow too. I also think of a Nintendo Power Magazine.

There is no ''I'' in team...Nor is there an ''I'' in group, gang, crew, squad, club, band, party, crowd, cluster, troop, or set.

"Most of the time I don't picture anything."

Me too. I just have different pronunciations in my head, not visualizations.

"when i think of meowrik, i get a total idiot"

Not cool man, not cool. What's your crap about Meowrik thta you're hiding? You know, from seeing this, I've noticed something: When someone dislikes someone else here, they don't say anything for a while (and the person hasn't even done anything!!!) then out of nowhere, they just start bad-mouthing them and giving them random crap. What's the deal?!

TEM, that was really close to what I look like!  Except my Nintendo shirts aren't red(one is the same as Dairy king's SMB shirt, the other I'm wearing right now has a pixeled yoshi from SMW and underneath it says "gimme a free ride"), and I'm wearing Khaki pants right now, but I wear jeans a lot.

Oooo, my turn!



Most names don't make me think of anything other than the concept of the people behind them—and, for those people whose pictures I've seen, sometimes I think of what they look like. But it's usually just a kind of conceptual brain pattern thing that cannot really be expressed in words. The exceptions, mostly in no particular order, follow (I made none of these up):



Chupperson Weird: One of the first names I remember ever seeing here, it used to bring up thoughts of his weird signatures, with the most notable one being:

"Tonight, I`ll make an old family recipe. Pickled dandelions with barnacles in a diesel marinade!" - Prof. E. Gadd



Deezer: A famous person no one would recognize in person. Kinda mysterious, too.



GoldenYoshi: With this one I actually thought of the obvious, a golden Yoshi.



Watoad: Not myself, but the fan art of mine that caused me to choose this name.



Jöhñbôb: For a long time this made me think of some weird-sounding name in another language because I looked over it too quickly and didn't realize that it's really just "John bob." I cannot remember anymore how I used to try to pronounce it.



?????? ???? ???????: Annoyance.



CeleTheRef: Some kind of chef.



Darkside: A cool character from some world of science fiction, perhaps similar to Darth Vader.



marioguy: Something gross and nasty. I know not what.



SmileyWormChip8: A Wiggler from Super Mario 64. (I had to use the good ol' Mariopedia to find the name of that enemy.)



TEM: Used to make be think of Dr. Robotnik.



F-Man: Captain Falcon.



cable04: It has been awhile, so I'm not positive, but I think this name provoked either thoughts of cables or simply 0-/<):



Pegasus Team: Star Trek. Also, the only poster composed of more than one person.



bandicootbuddy: Crash Bandicoot.



Pink King Boo: The color pink.



Lola Prue: The color blue (or blueish-purple), sometimes.



Vidgmchtr: When I think of just the first "syllable" (that is, "Vid"), I'm reminded of Kid Vid, one of Burger King's old mascots. Now I think those mascots are dumb, but when I was a little kid, I thought they were fine, and Kid Vid was my favorite.





And here are two names I hadn't heard of before, but that I feel are worth mentioning, anyway:



Yuki: Both snow and a beautiful Asian girl.



MarioSpiceMeat: Beef.





That may seem like a lot of names to run through after saying that "most names don't make me think of anything." What you must realize is that I went overboard like usual and tried to consider virtually every I've seen since I registered here. Out of all those names (hundreds, I think), the above aren't really that many. Most names, even obvious ones, just haven't brought anything special into my mind. stupidmonkey, for example, never once made me think of a monkey, not to mention a stupid one. This may make me weird, but that's just the way it is.



To finish off, here is possibly the best line I came across as I was doing my research for this post:

"This topic is about frosted pizza with three-month-old cheese."



Having no signature is like living in a box on the highway.
