    Koba, the Indomitable. It was a childhood nickname of Stalin, who took it from a famous Georgian folk hero. I don’t see a link between you and Stalin, or folk heroes, but you do seem to be quite an indomitable woman. Does that nickname mean that no man has power over you?

  5. roachmeistercom on August 24th, 2008 1:43 pm

    Hmm, deferonate…? To remove the iron from?

    Roachmeister actually is a nickname, because my last name is Roach. A friend of mine at the time named Robert Cummins tagged me with it, and it stuck to me when some of my gaming friends began to use it as well.

    If your nickname has anything to do with the story “The Patricide”, that makes my eyes misty. I wish I knew you well enough to know why in the blue blazes you are nicknamed Koba! :smile:

    Nickname: M. Pro

    I, too love seafood but not so much swimming. Lobster is crackin’ though. :grin:

  7. cgijoe on August 20th, 2008 4:59 pm

    Nickname: Scrod… Received in college.

    Extra Credit: Your nickname originates from your desire for water and seafood: Koba bears the meaning little mermaid.

    My nickname from my family is bunny buns because on my first halloween my parents thought it would be cute to dress me up as a baby bunny. So my family still uses it haha

  9. whysoserious on August 20th, 2008 12:29 pm

    why Koba? Maybe because you bare the same characteristics to a fictional character of the same name? Anyway, my nickname is Tails because I usually have my hair in a pony tail. But I’m also called Joker because of the countless pranks I pull on my friends and family!

    When I was in the army, my nickname while I was in basic training was ‘100′, because that was how many push-ups I was suppose to owe.
    But when I got io my permanent duty station, my new nickname was ‘Sparky’ for a while, before I got transfered elsewhere. :roll:

    Koba was a fictionalized name for a character who represented Stalin in a book I read once. I don’t remember the author off hand. Evedently you were a very demanding person when you were younger.
    Spanish-speaking friends (I have many) call me “El Gato,” though it’s too long a story to explain why.

    Just guessing without looking it up but I am thinking “seeded” must have been first used in tennis, probably Wimbledon.

    “Koba” is harder. There is a reference to Stalin and a game about who will survive. There are also 2 cheetahs and something to do with anime. I don’t think so.

    I think it has to do with one of the species is the fantasy world of Rym, called a Koba. They are good swimmers.

    I have a friend who has borrowed money from me over the years, and never repays me. I have given him the nickname of Moocher. I was wondering where the word Moocher came from.
    Thanks for the word lessons, I have learned a lot. It’s amazing how much one can learn from someone who is “Hot”, and Hot For Words.

    Good job on “nickname,” but why not also give the technical linguistic name for the transfer of a consonant from the end of one word to the beginning of another. Isn’t it “metathesis”? And by the way, what is the origin of “metathesis”?

    pennsyltucky9 replied on August 17th, 2008 9:32 pm:

    Thanks

    pennsyltucky9 replied on August 17th, 2008 9:27 pm:

    True, rhyming words do sound more eloquent sometimes. Ever hear the expression,”stinkin’ drunk” as in someone on whom you can smell booze from halfway down the block? Maybe that led to the origin. But who knows? Good suggestion, jaggededge.

    Hey, Marina!
    I’m really intrigued by the months of September, October, November and December.
    I don’t know if english speakers see it, but I, as a portuguese speaker, clearly see that the prefixes “sept”, “oct”, “nov” and “dec” mean “seven”, “eight”, “nine” and “ten”.
    But I wonder why… After all, these months are, actually, months 9, 10, 11 and 12!
    Why is that?
    Thank you, bye bye!

    smokey36bear replied on August 17th, 2008 8:18 pm:

    Because Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar wanted monts named for them so then Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec. All got bumped by 2.

    grandexandi replied on August 17th, 2008 8:41 pm:

    By now I know about July and on, but what about June down?

    smokey36bear replied on August 17th, 2008 9:03 pm:

    A new question is: Why does Feb(my birth month) only have 28 days (not including leap years) I think I remember a story about Julius being jealous of Augustus because August had 31 days and July only had 30 (once opon a time) so he STOLE from Feb. I would like to know if thats true.

    smokey36bear replied on August 17th, 2008 9:03 pm:
    A new question is: Why does Feb(my birth month) only have 28 days

    I think the real question is: why don’t all the other months have 28 days? (with a special extra day to make up the year).

    13 x 28 = 364 + 1 = 365 !!

    So .. it would have been much more rational to have 13 months (where this “month” would actually more closely matche the moon cycle) of 28 days (= 4 weeks), + an extra celebratory day bolted on to mark the transition from one year to the next (or two days for a leap year).

    Instead we have the irrational bunch if hodgepodge “months” that we have now.

    I’m outraged ( :evil: ). I may very well write a complaining letter to the pope.

    mijj replied on August 18th, 2008 3:30 am:

    Oh S#!† :!: I was searching for a new Vietnamese restaurant to eat at . Well Im addicted to Salad rolls. Its a Vietnamese food. In my searching I found out there is a Korean BBQ restaurant here in Seattle area. Its called KoBa. Its short for Korean Barbeque.

    I have another nickname an old friend of mine (Eddie Garcia) used to call me was “The Salad Man”, because I would eat very larger bowls of the stuff. You know the size you would feed a family? I would eat the whole damn thing myself.

    Here’s my thought. Im thinking that if there is such a restaurant where she lived called Korean BBQ or KoBa and she is obsessed with eating at such a place that she would get a nickname like such. Well that’s my other theory.

    Marina, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? Check out spricket24 latest vid entitled “…retard”, middle of vid, HFW imitation. Not for kiddies, rated F. Your new opening tag line; “Often Imitated, but Never Duplicated” :grin:

    As a kid, after I got my hair buzzed where I looked like a hedgehog, they called me Mecki, named after a hedgehog mascot.

    aLx replied on August 17th, 2008 2:48 pm:

    roadrunrnch replied on August 17th, 2008 3:08 pm:

    I thought I just did?
    Oh…do you mean, why don’t I ask the question some were she will see it? :roll:

    buzzword replied on August 17th, 2008 3:12 pm:

    yeah, pools have distinct regional variations. a well trained pool boy can easily distinguish subtle differences between the a northern and southern california pool as well as the vintage of pool water. california pools are known the world over for there ph balance, smooth chlorine flavor and minimal piss aftertaste due to the high consumption of bottled water in the region.

    Moose And Squirrel replied on August 17th, 2008 3:47 pm:

    I don’t remember seeing her with red hair in any of her modeling photos. Must have been when she first arrived here.

    @ Buzz since you seem to be a pool connoisseur. Where would you guess that pool is located? :mrgreen:

    buzzword replied on August 17th, 2008 4:13 pm:

    well, judging from the shadows, angle of light and water reflection… that pool, as pictured, is located in broad daylight.

    lividemerald replied on August 17th, 2008 5:16 pm:

    Nothing like a nice warm pool with minimum piss aftertaste.

    “how long has marina lived here?” is not exactly a question directed to marina. it should’ve been: marina, how long have you lived here?

    roadrunrnch replied on August 17th, 2008 3:52 pm:

    Keep up aLx.
    It’s in 3nd person indirect as she does not to answer direct questions from me :shock:
    I must ask questions in a way that someone else comments on it first. Then starts a dialog with someone else she will answer. [Shhh ..it's a secret]

    I would have thought you could see it was a ploy, maneuver, tactic.
    I thought I was being too overt?

    Interesting. There’s a Zen saying:

    Those who know do not say.

    I’m wondering if that rule applies to Johnson size as well… :razz:

    buzzword replied on August 18th, 2008 10:58 am:

    but then, don’t you have to say that saying? which implies that you don’t know.

    Prospero: I wonder what life would be like if they did talk :wink:

    Buzz: I just repeated the saying, I didn’t make it up. :smile:

    Perhaps the original sayer of the saying disqualified his knowledge of human nature. Or perhaps the original sayer was saying that people who brag are usually full of it, whereas people with real size and power don’t need to brag :?: :cool:

    My first real job ( after about a year of schools ) in the Navy was airborne sonar on a P3C Orion. There were three Sensor Stations; I sat at Sensor Station 1. ORION_SS1.

    I’d go back if they’d let me fly again.

    According to Wikipedia and other unclassified sources the P3C is soon to be replaced with the P8, a military version of the 737.

    Hey Teacher

    I am going to take a guess that “Koba” is tied to your heritage and relates to the famous Georgian hero from “The Patricide” by Kazbegi.

    Perhaps when you were young(er) your family saw in you the same qualities of truth, justice and friendship that Koba held so dear.

    At any rate, that’s my thought for a dollar :idea:
