Author Topic: English as a Second Language? And Your Callsign Means...? (Read 3400 times)

MANDOBLE · « **Reply #30 on:** September 05, 2001, 07:23:00 AM »

MANDOBLE is a spanish word that means "large and heavy two handed sword", same as MONTANTE. Just like a 190A8, not very fast, not very agile, very poor E retention (for the swordman

), but tremendous punch if you hit (1 of every 1000 attempts

)

I just noticed I swapped MANDOBLE and MANTEQUILLA (butter

))

ROFLOL, straffo, you may earn a lot of money translating chivalry novels from spanish to english:

... And the black and perphidous knight smashed repeatedly the king's head with his tremendous and bloody butter ... ;D

It may work if it's an EEC frozen butter

To tell you the truth my callsign doesn`t
mean a thing,when I signed up,I had a lot of troubles,,,so i ended up kicking the keyboard randomly,until it worked(temper temper

).

Pepe=diminutive for Joseph (José), altho it's not my RL name.

WB handles were 4 characters long, so, since I love Pepe LePew cartoon (talk about tenacity), the choice was simple enough for a spaniard

Cheers,

Pepe

My real name is Scott, my brother has been calling me Scooter for years. Also when I signed up I was not in a very creative mood.

Zippatuh = a word jumble from “Pizza Hut”. Used as a kid when I was playing D&D, a thieving assassin who fought with rapiers and poison. I also don’t have to worry about my handle already being taken hehe.

Ok, so I’m not “foreign” but I am from Kansas City. Some people may consider that another country

.

Sour is short for sourkraut. My ex-Mother-in-law suggested this handle back in the days of CB radios. The hell with her but a nice callsign.

Oops, just noticed that this was "english as second language". Oh well, us americans don't speak english anymore.

Fat is a term used to indicate a substantially overabundant diet. The suffix TY stands for Thank You. As in, Thank you for the beer, may I have another?

SKurj · « **Reply #42 on:** September 05, 2001, 11:49:00 AM »

sometimes, yes english becomes my second language, real beer (canadian brews) can do that to ya. (and no i ain't no frenchie)

SKurj, short for scourge , as in scourge of the seven seas.. (certainly not the sky of late) AW only permitted 5 characters

skernsk

A name my brother taunted me with for years. I got used to it over time.

In Arabian Kight language it means "smelly lizard"

Superfly · « **Reply #44 on:** September 05, 2001, 12:11:00 PM »

Superfly is the pimp star of the Blackspoitation movie, "Superfly". It's one of my favorite Curtis Mayfield songs. (He did the soundtrack to the movie.)
