Is that JKR
I once knew a guy called Wayne Triest, which translates to “cry sad” in Dutch
Funny, isnt tristesse french for sadness? Probably both derived from Latin or something
Ye, same root, quite some overlap between the languages
In the Navy, there was this woman with the last name Guzzler and she was a nuclear electronics technician, which meant that before hitting the rank of E-4 that she was a Seaman. She was Seaman Guzzler. The military is pretty misogynistic, and so even her superiors took joy in taking jabs at her as is the name Guzzler wasn’t bad enough by itself for a woman in the military.
I still feel bad for her to this day.
NASCAR racing legend, Dick Trickle.
He was a badass, though. Legend has it that he had a hole drilled in the face shield of his helmet so he could still light up a smoke while driving.
That story makes no sense. He always used half face helmets. Even when he had a full face, he smoked through the window of the helmet. Sounds like a story a tobacco sponsor would promote.
Trickle killed himself after suffering years of chest pain definitively not due to his smoking.
Barry Sheene had a hole in his Motorcycle helmet for smoking.
He died of eosophageal cancer. Cool.
That’s why I referred to the story as a “legend” (and it is a story that had been passed around for decades), not a fact that I can provide documentary proof of for a humorous internet comment.
They said UNfortuante
Had a classmate who had the surname Fucke. He took his wife’s name when he got married, as he was sick of the dumb jokes about his name.
I had asome soolmates with the last name Fuchs. Same kinda deal.
Knew a kid in elementary school who had the last name Gaylord, teased mercilessly. He would tell the teacher on the first day of class to just call him by his first name but they never did
—Ya fuck ONE dog…then—
I guy I went to school with last name of Dick. Always said he would name his son Harry and daughter Anita. I really hope he didn’t
There is a plumbing company in northern Virginia that is family owned. It was founded by Richard and is called Wacker Plumbing. Yes indeed his name is Dick Wacker.
Wtf were his parents thinking, that sounds like a pornographic stge nsme
Alternately he could have been Rich Wacker and Luigi’d some billionaires and it would have made for a great news cycle.
Had a guy I worked with named Butts, I was like, oh, its probably got some other pronunciation, so I said “Mr. Boots?”
He got VERY angry and shouted “ITS PRONOUNCED BUTTS” loud enough that other people in the office turned to look at us.
“Okay, buddy. Don’t lose your shit!”
Null. There are articles online about people with this surname and the problems they face in everyday life.
For those who don’t know,
nullmeans “nothing” or “missing data” in computer systems and databases. Properly coded systems handle it correctly but there are so many badly coded and/or legacy systems that simply crash or behave incorrectly when that surname is entered.Its like the name equivalent of being born without or “losing” fingerprints
is Null capitalized in some?
In most languages, the case of datatypes is irrelevant; Null, null, nUlL, and NULL all represent the same value.
Adcock.
His first name was Daniel, and his email (typical company first initial last name @ company) was indeed unfortunate.
A classic.
I used to work with a guy called Frank Yu.
Our company emails were first initial, last name…
I worked with a guy named Paul Nessel whose email became PNESSE@company.com
“Van De Neuker” which translates as “from the fucker”. In ye olden days “De Neuker” was the man who went around with his male pig to impregnate the female pigs of other people.
As a prank or as a paid service? I’m looking for a new line of work.
As a side gig, paid, but not enough to live from it. And you really have to love your hog, treat it like a champ, compete in competitions with it, … If successful enough, people will be calling you to come fuck their pigs.
Gotta make my parents proud somehow.
Do ya?
Had a teacher called Mr. Dick.
Professor Cox, will you please join Mr. Dick tonight at the Brown Hall?
I once ran a credit card for a Richard P. Oreface
