Entertainment I get out of calling people absurd names comes from the names being absurd, combined with the people reacting in a serious manner. (The idea of people reacting to something so absurd is amusing). There's an IEI on here I call "space plankton". He gets pissed off, and it makes me laugh. There's also another person on here I call "discoblow". I call him that because he blows, clear and simple. (He is also sort of trashy in a cocaine related way). In that case, I'm just expressing myself.
Not really so different from what you're doing in this thread - expressing your emotions. Think of it like that, except it's compacted into a single name which I can brand you with every time I see you in order to let it be known exactly how I feel about you.
So yeah.. in order to know why she calls you that name, I'd have to know the name and then I'd have to know you. Might need to know her, too. |
interesting pov, thanks for your input. it's not a specific question about this particular name-calling. It's more of a general question re: why Fe would be used in such way, generally speaking. At any rate...when you say "in order to let it be known how i feel about you" does this imply your feelings about someone are always constant: you'll always call this person you mention space plankton because....you assume he'll find it annoying each and every time you do..? what happens if he decides to ignore you calling him/her that? Does the way you feel about this person change?
Also - why is it important to you to let people know how you feel about them? See, sth like that would just be redundant to my mind in the sense that i think why should anyone give a rat's ass how i or other people feel about them? I look at it this way: so, someone feels this way about a 3rd person - ok, but who gives a fuck about that, the earth keeps doing its thing, gravity does its thing, in general life goes on punctuated by people's daily defecation and other such things..Anyway, not sure if i'm explaining myself clearly here, i'm tired. cheers
