Explain your KB name

[Lazy7]

being relatively niave when it comes to the bike community - i hope i dont get shot down for saying this...

but - i frequent a lot of "performance car forums" and drive a V6 Twin Turbo so my Nick on those forums is Lazy6 - a play on the idea that a V6 twin turbo is anything but lazy...

and now i am here, and looking at picking up a ZX7R soon, Lazy7 seemed to fit.

Hell Ill buy you a drink if you can pronounce it for me

Mines obvious

Mine's suggestive and fun and a play on the fact I'm in NZ...

Mine's what pagans usually call a "craftname" - the name by which I am known within the pagan community. To some people I am better known by that name than by "Jon".

Usually the forums etc I've accessed already have a "Wolf" and I have to add numbers to it (so I usually choose numbers that have significance to me rather than the "That name is taken, you can have "Wolf27" if you like..."

I was quite surprised that "Wolf" was available on KB without any qualifiers or numbers, was quite prepared to have to add a number.

I'd explain why I chose "Wolf" as my craftname but that would entail another epic 1.8Gb post that would upset those on dial-up...

Okay....always thought Craftname was linked to Witchhood but I will go with you to avoid 1.8MgB's..........

[Colapop]

Is that like "Charmed" coz they're hot and you'd be one lucky Warlock(?) or is it Druid? It's all about earth and nature kinda isn't it?

[*sic]

mine:.

Sic is a Latin word meaning "thus" or "so", used inside brackets [sic] to indicate that an unusual (or incorrect) spelling, phrase, or other preceding quoted material is intended to be read or printed exactly as shown and is not a transcription error.

This may be used either to show that an uncommon or archaic usage is reported faithfully (for instance, quoting the U.S. Constitution, "The House of Representatives shall chuse [sic] their Speaker...") or to highlight an error, often for purposes of ridicule or irony (for instance, "Dan Quayle famously miscorrected a student's spelling to 'potatoe' [sic]").

In folk etymology, "sic" is sometimes mistakenly assumed to be an abbreviation of "spelled incorrectly", "spelling is correct", or even "sorry, incorrect".

I however added the * to the front as there was another name that was originally in front that was spaced with the *.. i cut the front bit off and left the *..

anyways, yea thats it.

"Craftname" is predominently used within "The Craft" (witchcraft/Wicca) but I use it for want of another reasonably understandable term. "Religious name" sounds a tad pompous. Not used to hide behind, just more appropriate for ritual than "Jon" ("God is Gracious" which, for a polytheistic pagan, begs the question "which God?")
