Rach, you killed me with the Dirty Sanchez thing. Dirty, girl I love you, smooches.

Thanks, Noah. *smooches*

Re: Tonio -- It was his mother... yeah, *just* his mother calls him that.

I also saw a comment that had an icon posted. It was an animated icon. I forget what it said exactly, but it definitely had some Adam/Anthony insinuations. That bugged me- why is she showing him an icon that would obviously make him uncomfortable?

And she referred to him as Tonio? That's...a little rude. It just seems to me to be a private nickname.

I think she's saying it bugs her that other people are calling him what his mother used to call him. Hence calling it invasive.

ETA -- haha, I saw that one. The one about the sorbet and the penis and that whole thing. Oy.

Ok, didn't know about the Tonio thing, seeing as how I still don't have the book. But I hate it when people make up stupid nicknames or shorten people's names into something that they shouldn't be.

Yeah. If something happened to my mom (God forbid!), you bet your ass, I'd have issues with people calling me Nono. But Anthony's more mature than me, so who knows.

A-Rapp?

Yes, thats what I meant. It was HER nickname for him...


Same vein as the "Peanut Butter" thing.

I have an icon that says "Anthony = Peanut Butter" but I'd never actually call him that... again, another nickname that I don't think people should invade on.


Usually when I say his name its 'Anthony' and when typing usually 'Anth', because when I write/type I tend to go a little shorthand,

*pokes head in*
20 pages in one day? Holy sweet effing unprintables and inventive oaths...
*shakes head*

Exactly Em. And someone shortened Adam to Ad. once, it was just two extra letters. Ant and Anth also bug me, sorry guys, but they do.

[tacos are great]

Posted: 2/12/06 at 8:35pm

A-Rapp makes my eye twitch.

I never shorten anyone's name unless I've seen other people do it and the person doesn't seem to mind (Rach). I don't want to offend them by calling them something they hate.

A-Rapp?

>.<

I really don't like that.

Huh? The girl who used "Tonio" didn't use it to his face, but in talking about him, and you said that was invasive. And you just said the Peanut Butter thing is another nickname you don't think people should invade on. You're using it, but not to his face -- how is that, logically, not invasive? I'm confused.

Ad. LOL.

[Fizz]

Posted: 2/12/06 at 8:36pm

Its kind of a habit for me to play around with people's names, but I only continue it if they don't seem to mind. I call my friend Claire 'Clairey'...


A-Rapp just makes me giggle.


Edit- Em, I just thought it was a bit amusing because it confused people. They go "What? Peanut butter? Huh?" and its just a bit funny to me. *shrugs a little*

Emcee, that wasn't the icon I was referring to, actually. It was one that has a picute of Anthony holding his his arms wide apart, and the caption, "Adam's is this big", and then a pic of him holding his fingers a couple inches apart, and the caption "And mine only this big".

I was like, "Wtf"? O_0

Here Em, to make you less confused:



You know you want to watch it forever.

[Serenade]

Posted: 2/12/06 at 8:37pm

I came up with A-Rapp. LOL


Some people like it and some don't. I'd like to see what Anthony himself thinks.

[tacos are great]

Posted: 2/12/06 at 8:38pm

Well, I do have a friend named Carrie and I call her Carebear. I've done that since we were four, though, so if it bugs her it's a little too late to change now, heh.

I don't know what it is...I think it reminds me of Arod. Then again...I'm not sure why that bothers me.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 2/12/06 at 8:40pm

I dunno how anyone found it, but I did hear somewhere what it means. But even if people don't get it, you're still using it. I dunno. It's all just a little pot-meet-kettle if you ask me.

*stares at Cliff*

*is obviously mesmerized*

I think it's fine to give your FRIENDS nicknames. That's a totally different story.

I like A-Rapp..it amuses me, and I just realized that I have a snowday tomorrow and I can watch Anthony on Tony Danza show!

[Fizz]

Posted: 2/12/06 at 8:41pm

"I'm a chicken ****- a hypocrite- I admit."

Its rarely used anyway so its not bugging me. Tonio... seemed more personal.

An Em, it was in a newspaper article in the Daily Herald(Chicago area newspaper)

Em, you know you love it. . I have Mandi's other one, you HAVE to remember that one!
