Re: Tell us about your username

Would it help if you knew I was stopping that piece of artillery while my badge was suspended and hunting down a duo of ruthless criminals?
 
Re: Tell us about your username

Was it a dastardly duo?  That would make a big difference.  A regular duo isn't much.

phonetically... in Spanish. When English speakers try it... sounds like Onhell :D

I wanna merge....keeping the genie in the bottle is so hard....


Anyway-- Wasted, as in 'Wasted Years'-- which is one of my original favorite songs by Maiden.  I use it everywhere now, and when I'm gaming everyone thinks its a drunk thing--  I always like to remember that where I am now, today, is the golden years, not whats behind or ahead.

CLV is Roman numerals for 155 (thanks LC).  155 is the number of n00bs I wanna ban before the year is over  :halo:

The Revelations in my name comes from one of my favourite Maiden songs (and songs in general) Revelations. The 85 comes from a star football player on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (CFL football, for those who don't know)

Vortex, because at first people avoid me, but are soon draw in by my irresistable force.
 
Re: Tell us about your username

It's my "short name". It's related to my first name as in Dave <-> David.
 
Re: Tell us about your username

It's pronounced Zhare, eg. /ʒ/are . That's a fricative consonant here. Wiki "croatian language" for that sort of stuff.
 
Re: Tell us about your username

Nope, I'm fucked. I'll just keep mispronouncing it.
 
Re: Tell us about your username

Yeah, Slavic languages have a few quirks. Croatian grammar is a real pain in the ass. A lot of archaisms, and we have certain "expression forms" that don't have analogy in English. For instance we have like 2-3 times more grammatical tenses than you do, and seven morphological classes which are analogous to Latin casus. A lot of stuff like that. Voice syllable transformations (no it's not a computer algorithm). And then they torture you with that in school. And at the end of the day, you speak your local dialect  :D

Dialect that we speak in this locality is heavily Italian-influenced. Basic structure is still Croatian, but a lot of Italianisms are used, and we pronounce words like in Italian. The "local grammar" is simpler, for instance we don't give a fuck about that morphology, eg. we don't suffix words based on the context.

My first name is Abas as well... so I have just basically taken my given name and named accounts after it
 
Re: Tell us about your username

I was really digging the song Invaders when I joined the forum, no other reason.  I don't love it as much any more, but it still seems like I'm the only one who likes it at all.
 
Re: Tell us about your username

I like it too. Great riffs and Bruce sings along very well in the couplets.
