Name jokes

What do you call someone that digs a hole?
What do you call someone that fills in the hole?
What do you call someone that that tops off the tank?

I know. Art is short for Arthur.

...it must be living in the colonies, @Crossbred! :) I seem to be as unable to think about King Arthur as "Art" as I am of thinking of the Queen as "Lizzie" or Prince Charles as "Chuckie"...

...but I have no issues thinking of our illustrious(not) PM as ScoMo, SloMo, Scummo, Scovid or any other such nickname Guardian readers like to bestow upon him, and the COALition... :p
 
By the way, in German, you could have said to me, "Lift your feet up. You're standing on the cable."

...a commonly used little saying when someone doesn't get a punchline... :)

I don’t know anything about politics in Australia, but “SloMo” and “Scummo” made me LOL :p
“Scummo” would be a good nickname for some of ours too. Lol

Yes, I think that one fits a whole range of people in power, including in Russia. :mad: :imp: :crocodile: :poutingcat:

The SloMo was an apt reference to how long it takes him to do anything when there is a crisis, or foreseeable situation. Least competent PM we've ever had and we've had a few that were scraped from the bottom of the barrel.

That's hilarious, @Forest Cat. :grinning: One of my favourite comedians has Swedish ancestry and lives in the US. His first name is Bengt - because his mother didn't want him to have the same name as anyone else in the school. He says she achieved that aim with it. :grimacing:

My husband's name is Brett and that is also the German word for "plank" - as I explained to him years and years ago. You'd have to be careful introducing him to Germans. If you say, "Ich bin mit einem Brett verheiratet!" it means I am married to a plank. So I have to say, "Ich bin mit Brett verheiratet!" so it at least sounds like, "I am with Plank married!" which is a bit better...
 
I have some ideas for names for drag performers:

Hugh Eego
Hugo Furst
Otto Ajobb
Anita Jobb
Kay Sarah Serra
Mel Functional
Cleo Queen of Denial
Hugh Mann
Ima Mann
Kashar Credit

Did you ever read Sandman, @Captain Jigglypuff? Hal was a cool character in that. And a drag queen! :)

I'm temporarily out of name jokes! :screamcat:

Never heard of it. But I have ideas for drag names and quite a few I’ve come up with are not taken or even slightly modified for a performer. I mean how is Hugo Furst not a drag king’s name yet? I got the idea for it after Mimi Imfurst’s name. Also very surprised that Hugh Eego hasn’t been taken in some form.

I think I mentioned this before, but this name cracks me up. My uncles name is Odd. It`s a common name here. And it is pronounced exactly the same as the English word odd. So he goes to the US and says to people, "Hello, I`m Odd". And the Americans look at him, :confused: what..?

:) I also know two guys named Even, that is also a common name. Odd and Even goes on vacation to the US, it sounds like the start of a joke.

In southern england it was common to be called father if you were a man and there is a name Christmas so in that family he would be known as father christmas

In Norway you are married to a serving tray... :)
Brett means tray/serving tray here. It also means
fold, a fold, like a napkin fold.

No joke: One of the parents at a school I was teaching at in Sydney had changed the family surname to "Universe" so her daughters would be called "Miss Universe" - the mind boggles. People sometimes said to me, "How can you put up with teenagers all day?" but it's their parents that really take the cake... :eek:

Once, at the start of a year, I had to really work on keeping a poker face when reading through the class roll to take attendance, and realising the next name on the list was "Bambi"... thankfully this 13-year-old girl was a cheerful character, and after several weeks I knew I could ask, while they were engaged in groupwork and it wasn't going to be the focus of the whole class, "I was wondering if there is a story behind your name?"

To which the girl airily replied, "Yes. My mother and father are stupid." :p

Someone else, at an exclusive private school, had called their son "President" for a first name. :rolleyes: Poor kid.

That is a fairly common girls' name over here.

Brett would like everyone to know that his name really means "the smiter of the foe"...

(Yes, but he probably uses a plank to do so...)
