What's in a name?

I am starting a Downing St on line petition to have it made mandatory for everyone in the country to have a Native American type name, purely for the advantage it offers.

It would cut down crime:
If the police were patrolling an area and spotted a suspicious person, who gave his name in as 'Lying Little F**ker' then everyone knows were they stand.

Socialising

It would be handy if you're in a pub and you're introduced to a table full of strangers with names like 'Can't handle his ale' and 'Fights with Bouncers' you then know to say that you only came in to buy a packet of Cheese & Onion crisps.

You could meet girls with names like 'Goes like a rabbit' and 'Having non of it'

That way you instantly know who to buy a drink for and who to give the cheese & Onion crisps too.

To speed things up and to show my commitment to this petition I have already changed my name by deed poll to 'Annoying F**king C**t' I think it captures my actions and reflects my appalling language.

What name would you have?

Ohhhh, Indian as in American Indian. I was well confused there for a minute.

I am "edits posts pointlessly" though some know me as "spells like rhino"

Not that I want to spoil your fun, but I'd like to point out that "red Indian" is just as offensive as "nigger" to Americans. Take that as you will ...

I had no idea it was seen as an offensive word and have altered it accordingly, as it was never my intention to be racist.

I would further like to add that any native American wishing to change their name to a English one is more than welcome.

I might also add that I would like to thank 'Drinks-Coffee-Never-Sleeps' for
having a go.

Fantastic you have discovered that some adjectives can be offensive!

'Wimmin Rule' is my new name.

I can only apolgise 'Wimmin rule' I was suffering under the clearly false impression that this was a site on the WORLD WIDE WEB that was designed to show people that the UK had differing senses of humour and that the posters on it were interested in displaying their different approaches to it.

Perhaps a slight name change to something like

'Small minded clique of pedantic people who are easily offended and don't wish to either rock the boat or let others in it whilst they put up shit that wouldn't get the nod in a cracker factory site'

Thanks for the input though and you changing your name shows you are now at least prepared to be creative, be careful though not too much in one day eh, you might be best getting back to the 'Death Thread'

That's great Teddy, not easily offended or small minded, think I will pop back to 'death and dying' now as it suits my sardonic side.

Bye the way, I'm from Manchester and unemployed struggling on benefits so don't think everyone on here is the same.

What the f**k has being unemployed or poor got to do with it? Most people are finding it hard, this is a FUCKING comedy site, lighten up for f**ks sake!

Who are the 'small minded collective set of people' thought you were referring to the 'middle class pedants'?

Wish I had not revealed background now, however would love to know a bit about yours, was it tough Liverpool or not? I thought you might be a shift worker as you go quiet between 6-2?

You seem to get aggresive when anything YOU don't find humerous is posted, surely you cannot dictate the content on here or 'disallow' anything that does'nt pass the 'Teddy' test, that is censorship, grow up a bit lad.

I do not get aggressive I just make the mistake of replying quickly and with feeling.

Perhaps a more tempered approach, that has been mulled over and cogitated for a while then appraised for grammatical errors is best suited. Then once any form of originality, verve or elan has been removed I should then submit my ever so slighted subdued riposte.

Naaaah
I stick with telling people to f**k off, its a succinctly Scouse form of colloquialism.

Believe it or not, I am not in the slightest bit aggressive!

As for the Teddy test, I just say somethings shit when it is shit because I am a f**king comedy writer on an f**king comedy site.

There are people on here who can write better stuff than I ever will and there are others who understand the humour in other peoples posts regardless, but these types don't stand up for themselves.

Instead they sit back and let no marks score cheap points, well not on my watch sister.
If I get snipers I shoot straight back, I don't do little nasty notes then
contact the moderator looking to get on the BCG Witness Poster Programme, just because someone has been nasty back.

Get a f**king grip and get a f**king sense of humour!
My argument (If you could call it that) Is with the smug unfunny c**ts whose on role on this site is to offer nasty slights or grammatical pointers as a form of comedy!

Thats just other peoples form of comedy, as you said it is all relative to the person posting.

But there is definatly something here for everyone all tidied into neat threads and sections. Even then however, posters are bound to run into other forms of comedy from fellow posters, the best thing to do is take it they way it is intended, good fun.

I believe the word for it is "banter".

My native American name is "Getting-involved-with-things-that-arn't -his-concern"

Teddy you honestly do sound aggressive, I can't get past that sorry, it will hold you back if you want to succeed in comedy.

You are articulate and very clever but its the old story, you have to compromise sometimes.

Noticed you did't reveal anything about yerself? perhaps it is private but I would love to understand your background a bit.

Believe me I understand the class system and how it can be difficult to fit in on here, you were on here ages ago? where have you been?

I won't sat the usual 'Inside', but will say calm down lad.

PS; I do'nt go to moderators OK.
