PMBD

I happened to wander in here after seeing a link on the official site (general discussion boards). I have read up on what you guys are uo to and just would like to voice my opinion. I am glad this is being addressed. Some of these people make an ungodly amount of money because they own a site and/or upload "pretties". How ridiculous is this?
Also, I think that EA making it so custom content is uploaded to the exchange without having to purposely put it out that speaks volumes. Maybe that is their subtle message on this topic? Could be that I am reading too much into it, though.
I have never paid for any content, although I will donate (in only the purest meaning of the word) to my favorite sites. I am just so glad to find that I am not alone in the way I have felt about this crap. Thank you all. I'll quit rambling now.

Love the name, Swabby.

May I call you Swabby?

Sure, Swabby is a lot better than what my 2 year old calls me.

Ah, and I notice you are our lucky member number 666!

EL DIABLO! :'O

OH GOD.

What does the two-year-old call you anyway?  Poopy?

I get called by his grandmother's name (my other-in-law). So, yeah, Swabby is better.

My stepfather's name is Peter and his sister's name is Karen, so their niece calls them Uncle Pee Pee and Aunt Ka Ka.  Can't get much worse than that.

Oh. Wow.

I don't think it does get worse than that, no.

I really don't know which is worse, Pee Pee or Ka Ka. Please, someone tell me.

I called my baby sister Pee pee. I don't really know why, her name is nowhere close to that (Jennifer). I also have a cousins I called Heifer and Bull. Nice, huh?

I call my brother Boy but that's the most I've ever done. And he's even older than I am.

I used to call my sister Piss Pot, but that's only because that's what her friends called her. I'm the eldest, so I didn't suffer from pronunciation problems, heh.

It really angered her, so that was the appeal for me.

Isn't that what big sisters are for?

C.

Everyone but my girlfriend calls me Goo or Goo Doll. It's something I've been called since I was a baby. My uncle actually gave me the name.

Hehe...poop.

But how lovely!! Someone with actual intellegence has joined us via the BBS, instead of just coming here to troll!! :D Welcome, have some pirate cake.

Well.... or what's left of it.

Feathersword and Lemmiwinks liberated it few days ago, if I remember correctly. *piratetear*

I was liberated too, with Flint's part in it... *is still walking funny*

Well then your kid is just giving you back some delicious karma.

Whoa, there was cake? Was there a memo?


I want cake.

I only got a few crumbs but they tasted of rum. I'm going to stop before I tell you it was yum and I put it in my tum and then start rhyming with bum. Oops too late.
I call my brother Balls and he answers, even when his friends are around. His name is Charles which Mum corrupted to Cheese, Cheese Balls, and well that's just too long. It started long before he could have been aware of the implications so it still works even though he's now a real grown up with a wife and 2 kids. For my sins they call me Freak. meh.

My nephew's name is Creed so I call him Cweedy-poo or Baby-poo (after my cat, whose name is Haido-poo). Further shortened to Poopie. My (future) kids are so gonna get it, aren't they?  :P

I feel left out, no-one I know has any embarrassing or hilarious nicknames...:(

 :lol:  Make some up for them.

Let's see, my Mom is known as "Cookie" from her side of the family and "Hank" from my Dad's side of the family. You don't want to know what her real name is. My Dad was called "Butch" by an uncle when he was growing up but his name isn't even close to anything "butchy".

My Dad always called me "Peanut". I'm the baby.  :D  For some reason I earned the nickname "Fiz" in high school. Lord knows where that came from. I never got it.

I have an uncle that calls my son "Kody Koyote". I could think of worse things so I'll settle for that.

My sister calls her father-in-law "Cornball" but his whole family calls him that, but... he is a cornball.

My father-in-law slapped "Toad" on my husband when he was younger. And other members of the family called him "E". So imaginative. I tell ya.

I call a co-worker BMW for bitch, moan, and whine because that's all he does. Another one we just dubbed Tank because he ran out of gas on his way to work recently. Had to walk 2 miles to a gas station because he was too embarassed to ask for help or call his wife.

And the list goes on...

Oh, and I'd take Swabby or Poopy any day.  :P

I was 'Katietittlepump' to some of my really annoying relatives when I was a child, then 'Sheep' at school, thanks to my extremely curly hair. I hate nicknames. I can't think of anyone else I know with an odd nickname, there's Kipper I guess, that's not exactly common. The problem is that when I've called someone something for years it starts to sound normal to me and I only remember it isn't when someone else points it out.

I'm the baby: My mother called me 'scrapings of the pot'......*sigh*

Only my family and two of my friends call me Bing--it's a family nickname, and if any of you call me that, I'm going to CRY.  (Not really, but what if I pretended to, huh?  Huh?!)

I've had Bernie Mac, Bernizzle, Bernie Baby...  And the animals in Animal Crossing call me Sugar B.

My brother is Pee-pong.  I don't know any other nicknames he's had.

I call my cat Mimi.  Her name is actually Noel, but she rarely gets called that.  It's usually fathead, shimi-shimi, or kimi-kimi.  And other things.  I like talking baby-talk to my cat.

Does anyone call their pet by their actual name?  My cat's name is Tigger, but I mostly call him Tiggy, Wiggy, Tiggy-Wiggy, or the ever popular Boogie, and Boogie My Man.  Apparently I called him that last one often enough, that my fiance created an old, grouchy sim named Boogie McMahon  :lol:
Coincidently, my fiance & I are working on a cartoon tentatively titled, Nose & Boogie:  The Quest For The Elusive Tissue.  Yah, I have a weird obsession with boogies.  It's a quick laugh, hence my abnormal song, Boogies & Pickles.  Hmmmm .... amazing I have a man at all.

My cat's name was Priscilla, but usually I called her smooshy or stinky P. My mom was the one who named her.

She died in July, and she was 19. :(

C.

Wait...they named a kid Creed?

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I know of a kid named Ayatollah.


I was called Lucy as a child by my grandfather. That name is nowhere close to my real name though.

I was also called Jelly Beans and Babykins by my parents.

My cat is named Sasha but I call her Peanut.

My cat's name is Frodo II. I call him Frodo, FrodoBABYYYY, or KITTY, or Frodokittyyyyyy.

Not named after the hobbit. Named after a cat who was named after the hobbit.

I do. My cat is named "Cat", and I call him "Cat". One of my dogs is named "Dog", is referred to similarly.

my husband calls his youngest brother butt boy and he answers. its even his name in his phone. he calls his other brother caveboy but not to his face

I did that with a hamster I named once.  I have two cats, so calling them both cat would probably just confuse the hell out of them.  I normally refer to my tabby as "bummy" since he is older and 99% of the time I look at him he is just lying around.  My other cat is named servo, who I named after tom servo of MST3K, but I usually call her "fatty" as she is always eating, or sitting by her empty bowl trying to get me to feed her more.   If I didn't limit her food she would certainly be extremely overweight.

I want a Dog so I can name him Branford II.  

My Uncles call me SherBear or Beary since I was little, cause it rhymes I guess, infact one of them wrote it on my christmas card they mailed me last year (sherbear).  :roll:

In high school I was tagged with "Clover" The song "Crimson and Clover" was out then, but for the life of me how that could apply to me, I will never know.

Blame it on my brother. His second name is Viktor, so he wanted to name his kid Viktor Something or Something Viktor. Inspiration must have struck while he was re-reading a random X-Men comic. So my nephew is Viktor Creed.

I told them to name him Viktor Von Doom but no one listened to me.

Our cat is also named Cat.  Now that he's grown up and trying to be dignified, we call him Mister Cat a lot.  We tell people that his NAME is actually "Catastrophe" and we just call him Cat for short, but that's not true.  His name is Cat.

We're thinking of getting a second cat, and I've already prenamed her "Other Cat."  We'll call her O.C.

My cat's name is Lucky, and I call her Lucky.  Sometimes she gets called LuckyCat ( :P ) but usually it's just Lucky.

My 17 yr old cat is Scratch and i call him scratchers, scratchman, old man, farty old man, pooh head, death breath, monster, cranky old fart, etc.... funny thing is he answers to most of them. I've got another 8 yr old cat named sparky, but i call him spark about 90% of the time and little boy.... ok.. now i'm lost, what was the topic again??

I think it's funny the way topics get so derailed here and at MATY.... better than the comedy channel  :lol:

My oldest cat is named Meow. It's what he said when we asked him what he wanted to be called so of course we had to respect his wishes.  :wink:

Sadly, we never gave our cockatiel a proper name.   :P    He's got a few nicknames...   Captain Pinkfeet, Bastard, "The Cock", Tiel, or Puffball.     He's almost 6 years old now and I still have trouble answering the question "So what's your bird's name?".    :D  

ok, back to lurking ::ninja::

i had a cat named Lacy but she never got called that. Lace or Laces was the most common but my mom favored Damned Cat or Moveit... :-D

wentworth miller who seems to get most chicks' attention was called stinky in high school.

My cat is named "Scud". He is unguided and ballistic.

Our cats are named Moon and Bye-bye. My son named them. Moon is white and I guess that was his inspiration, but I think he just doesn't like the other cat.

LMFAO ROFL

you're right, it can't get worse!

I like him...

My aunt had a cat called Tits - he was named by an all-male group of students.
My mum lived with a cat who was called Cooking Fat when he was good...

Are we still naming cats?

Ok. I have one named Smitty, after David Letterman's assistant Monty (you'd have to watch Letterman to get that.). She's 25lbs  :o She usually gets called fatty fatty boombalatty or fat ass. She's been on a diet forever. I worry about her heart and joints with all that weight on a small frame cat......

Then we have Danny, A Manx. Danny after Danny John Juels of the BBC Red Dwarf. Manx Syndrome aka Leaky Butt. Danny gets called Stinky, Leaky Butt, Mr. Poopy, Nasty Ass, Disgusto Dan, oh the list goes on and on.....

the cat sleeping next to me currently must think he is called "get off the fucking keyboard"
his name is actually jakey

My cat fell behind the heater today, she's smoking right now lol.  :lol:

My cat died.

I can be morbid at 12 : 30 at night, but I am not really in the mood to do so.

My friends cat's name is Fuzz Butt.  You know why?

His butt... is fuzzy.  Never would have guessed that would ya?

Lol!

Having Viktor von Doom as a name would be so cool!

My cats vet name is Fiona, but she's never answered to that in her life.. but if you call out "Chicken" she'll come running from any room in the house.  So her name is Chicken.  I've confused more than one non-native english speaker with references to her.

In my weird family, we had a total of 4 cats and a dog. Guess which 2 pets I named:

Blackey
Bagel
Abigail (called Abby)
Joseph Mario Wade
Cynthia Princess

hint: Abigail's the dog. I named a pair of cats.

Yeah, but I got the impression that it was less a taunt and more a joke. So he still could've been a girl magnet and been called Stinky at the same time.

Y'know, kind of like how Pescado talks to girls he likes. ;)

Pescado likes someone???? Shocking!  :shock:

My cats have been called:

Mycroft (Mikey, Mikey-kin, Mikey-Rofto, Grumble, Grumble-kin)
Sherlock (Sherry, Sher, Locky, Sherry-kin) (deceased)

See a pattern there?

Pipsqueak
Pippy

Skippy Bush

Our current cat was named 'Orion', because I wanted him to be a mighty hunter. :?
It didn't work.
He gets called 'Babylings' by my wife, and 'Stupid cat', 'Idiot Cat', 'Silly Cat', and 'Dammit Cat!' by me
