Re: Cue For Gumby Handjobs Starts Here!
This post is literally awe-inspiring to the point that I feel vulnerable. This must be what Moses felt like when he was pooping on Mt. Horeb and a pine tree told him to commit a series of genocides. By the way, I'm a bit of a linguistics nerd, so I find your username interesting. "Thrump" is an old Gaelic term used around the upper part of the River Clyde that means "to push". It is derived from "þrymr", a king in Norse mythology who caused a bunch of turmoil and chaos when he stole Thor's hammer and Thor went full-on "Rage of Achilles" and slaughtered the entire troll-like race he was a member of. His name was derived from "thrym" meaning "uproar" or "chaos", which is actually ultimately derived from the latin "turma", which was a word used in the era of the Roman Republic for a cavalry unit. "Turma" was derived from Latin "turba", which also means chaos or uproar - and that's pretty neat, because that means the word organically developed from the literal meaning of a concept, to a metaphorical meaning derived from that concept, and then back to an almost identical literal meaning derived from that metaphorical meaning. "Turma", in turn, was derived from ancient Greek "τύρβη" which also meant chao or tumult. I believe the ultimate source of our etymological chain is the PIE root "twer-" or its metathesized alternative form (the following is not a joke) "twerk-" to twist, torque, swirl, or rotate. "Kinz" is a term in some French-based creoles for quinze, or 15, derived from Latin for 15, quindecim, which is taken from quinque, or 5 (Also known, obviously, a "V"), and decem, or 10 ("X"). Quinque is ultimately derived from PIE roots "pénk-" meaning to handle, or simply hand, and "ponk-" meaning all or whole. So 5 comes from "the whole hand" which makes sense as long as you aren't a cartoon animal. Decem comes from PIE root "dek'm-" itself thought to derive from the rudimentary stems "de-" or both, and "kmt-", or hand; the aforementioned "pénk-" for hand or handle is an evolutiion with richer meaning, "kmt-" being the most rudimentary reconstructible form. I say "thought", though, because the hypothesis of those "stems" comes not from comparative linguistics, but rather from computer analysis. So, there you are. Dr. Twerkdepénkponk. |

Re: Cue For Gumby Handjobs Starts Here!
wow... I'm not being sarcastic in any way when I say that was very interesting... I enjoy learning the origins of words and common phrases... ...now that being said, I figured he just chose that name because a "thrumpkin" is a "blumpkin with a vomit finish"... and that is very humorous |

Re: Cue For Gumby Handjobs Starts Here!
Nope, none of those things were my inspiration. It all just boils down to my own personal obsession with Word-Smithery, and the evolution of those words that often occur in rooms with even one or two other like minded individuals--tossing nonsense around like hot lingual potatoes. My dog Tipsy, once took a dump in our apartment in front of us..."Uh oh! Tipsy's doing a Thrunch!" He is currently 'Thrunching', or because he was a tiny cute dog he had assumed the responsibilities of a 'Thrunchling'. And so the many spenders of anything beginning 'Thr' was born, and a new level was unlocked on the Word-Smith World. For example, once, well after Tipsy had been renamed to Throsco, he was vomiting...someone said "He's being a Throw Upper." I suspected, and quickly deduced that my friends carelessness had given the dog access to his Burger King garbage, and so...'Thropper' was born. This all becomes extremely semi-relevant, once considering that my name was very nearly Dr. Thropperkinz. As far as the 'kinz' and its spelling, that comes from cute sound that adding a 'kins' to the end of words has. But why the 'z' then? That comes from 'kleez' (how I think 'cles' should be spelled. eg. Damocles = Damokleez, Hercules = Herkuleez). So why does that matter, and what would happen if these two legendary men made a hypothetical baby together? Well, if said imaginary baby was a cute one, its name would be incomplete until the 'kinz' was added to it. Right? What about your names? I've wondered about both of them. I like all the cannonreload icons--old Hollywood images, paintings they look like. Hard boiled egg eating contest--I've identified all of them so far, I think. |

PS. My name was also almost Dr. Mantybysterz. The name we gave to edible underwear on the rough, and very rudimentary first outline of the menu of our future mobile lunch wagon enterprise called Muther Chysterz. A well laid out endeavour that was gently nudged into existence by one of our customary joint force vile rinsing brainstorm parties. Much hilarity, and word-smithalyzation came from the great Wash or 'Warsh' Adventures.

That was the easy part. Next, they have to play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata on the baby grand piano.
