I'm thinking about changing my user name...

I'm thinking about changing my user name to "Moist Bint".

What do you think? :D

Give us your possible new user name. :thumbsup:

I was gonna change mine, but only to my real name, which is hella boring.

So what's with "Moist Bint"?

what's a "Bint"? do i really want to know?

as far as a new nick for myself... i got nothing.
bernadette is as exciting as it's gonna get.

although if you want to refer to me a "goddess bernadette", i won't stomp on your foot for it.

BINT

[Q] From Luci Koizumi: “In reading the novel How the Dead Live by Will Self I’ve encountered the unfamiliar word bint in the phrase: ‘widows, spinsters, and bints’. At first I thought this might be similar to an ex in US slang for a divorcee. But when I searched on the Web, I found references that hint at a pejorative connotation.”

[A] You’re right: bint is British slang for a woman or girl, but it is always disparaging and offensive and signals the user as lower class and unrefined. It’s also now rather dated.
The word is Arabic for a daughter, specifically one who has yet to bear a child. It was in common use as a slang term during the first and second World Wars among British and Allied servicemen stationed in Egypt and neighbouring countries.
Sir Richard Burton was the first person to use the word in English, in his Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to El-Medinah and Meccah in 1855: “ ‘Allah! upon Allah! O daughter!’ cry the by-standers, when the obstinate bint of sixty years seizes their hands”.

So in conclusion Fremen, you now want to be a 'wet girl'. I fuckin knew it all along....

freak :lol:

ahahahhhahahhahhahaha.........

...and they call redlemon the obsessive librarian...

Good one joe.

Hehehe, good one pj. :D :lol:

I had just read an excerpt of Monty Python's Holy Grail script, where they were calling the Lady in the Lake different names ( Moist Bint), when I decided to add this thread. ;)

sad thing is i didnt need the translation, being bored enough to read this far back, id say yes moist bint if not watery tart, though i still ove my new favorite insult pop-tart. derogative tart and the geek derogative pop, ive had people thank me for calling them suck a pop-tart before

I dunno. Fremen is more versatile... if not as moist, always a negative, I'm sure. :p

I couldn't come up with anything interesting, thus my username. I'm sure you won't be surprised to learn my real name is Jessica. Pretty amazing, hm?

Maybe I should go with CheeseGirl?

I'm in favor of JustJess becoming Cheese Girl, but Fremen should stay Fremen, unless you plan on going around lobbing scimitars at people.

"Watery tart" might be about as good...

Alright, Fremen it shall stay, so sayeth the speaker of truth, ratbastid. :D

Jess, if it were up to me, your username would stay the same. Personally, I like it.
CheeseGirl is.....cheesy. :p

Here's the scene from MP and the Holy Grail:

[thud]
[King Arthur music]
[thud thud thud]
[King Arthur music stops]
ARTHUR:
Old woman!
DENNIS:
Man!
ARTHUR:
Man. Sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?
DENNIS:
I'm thirty-seven.
ARTHUR:
I-- what?
DENNIS:
I'm thirty-seven. I'm not old.
ARTHUR:
Well, I can't just call you 'Man'.
DENNIS:
Well, you could say 'Dennis'.
ARTHUR:
Well, I didn't know you were called 'Dennis'.
DENNIS:
Well, you didn't bother to find out, did you?
ARTHUR:
I did say 'sorry' about the 'old woman', but from the behind you looked--
DENNIS:
What I object to is that you automatically treat me like an inferior!
ARTHUR:
Well, I am King!
DENNIS:
Oh, King, eh, very nice. And how d'you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers! By 'anging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. If there's ever going to be any progress with the--
WOMAN:
Dennis, there's some lovely filth down here. Oh! How d'you do?
ARTHUR:
How do you do, good lady? I am Arthur, King of the Britons. Who's castle is that?
WOMAN:
King of the who?
ARTHUR:
The Britons.
WOMAN:
Who are the Britons?

ARTHUR:
Well, we all are. We are all Britons, and I am your king.
WOMAN:
I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective.
DENNIS:
You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship: a self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes--
WOMAN:
Oh, there you go bringing class into it again.
DENNIS:
That's what it's all about. If only people would hear of--
ARTHUR:
Please! Please, good people. I am in haste. Who lives in that castle?
WOMAN:
No one lives there.
ARTHUR:
Then who is your lord?
WOMAN:
We don't have a lord.
ARTHUR:
What?
DENNIS:
I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week,...
ARTHUR:
Yes.
DENNIS:
...but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting...

ARTHUR:
Yes, I see.
DENNIS:
...by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,...
ARTHUR:
Be quiet!
DENNIS:
...but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major--
ARTHUR:
Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!

WOMAN:
Order, eh? Who does he think he is? Heh.
ARTHUR:
I am your king!
WOMAN:
Well, I didn't vote for you.
ARTHUR:
You don't vote for kings.
WOMAN:
Well, how did you become King, then?
ARTHUR:
The Lady of the Lake,...
[angels sing]
...her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur.
[singing stops]
That is why I am your king!
DENNIS:
Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
ARTHUR:
Be quiet!
DENNIS:
Well, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
ARTHUR:
Shut up!
DENNIS:
I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
ARTHUR:
Shut up, will you? Shut up!
DENNIS:
Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.
ARTHUR:
Shut up!
DENNIS:
Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being repressed!
ARTHUR:
Bloody peasant!

DENNIS:
Oh, what a give-away. Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about. Did you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn't you?

It looks like I misremembered. It's "moistened bint", not "moist bint". :thumbsup:

I vote you change your username to Dennis.

But really... how can I continue to amuse myself with the fact that you've never read Dune? It *has* to stay Fremen.

I know, I know. How can anyone continue to work that joke... it's soooo tired. You know, Dennis does have a nice ring to it...

Will 'Dennis the Moistened Bint' fit in that little box over there?

<---------------

Hmmm, I guess you could call me DMB, for short. ;)

my possible new name: RustyPinto

I've been seriously considering changing my name to"thatguyoverthere", for a month or so acutally, but idk

One for Cheese Girl, one against. Hm.
Are you still considering Moist Bint, Fremen? Perhaps a variation wouldn't be amiss.. like Wet Thang, or the like. But then again... it's fun to make people work for understanding sometimes. But I like Fremen!

I like RustyPinto. Nothing wrong with barenakeladies, but it is suuuure specific.

theguyondacouch is YOU, tho. the couch is part of your identity. I'd keep it. :)

themetrosexualonthefrufruchaiselounge just doesn't conjure up the appropriate image for theguyinthecouch, huh?
