Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

snob much? After looking at the list again, there's quite a few that I haven't heard of, some i have heard of but still haven't read.

People like what they like. That's cool. But that is different than calling it "good".

I know you joined the forums in 2023, but I had never seen you before I suddenly noticed you being a Negative Nancy at every opportunity in many threads in which I was interested. Maybe it is just me, and not you. . . but my experience will be better when you're blocked.

Take care and have fun! I won't be seeing you!

The books are laughing with you, not at you.

Please do not misgender me! Please use Doubting Thomas for a classical feel, or, for a more modern take the youths won't sneer at, Salty Stanley. Thank you for your attention to this matter! POSTER REALALHAZRED

Nancy is a non-gendered surname. As in the French Philosopher, Jean-Luc Nancy or the Bangladeshi singer, Nazmun Munira Nancy. According to genealogy records, Tennessee had the highest recorded population of Nancy families in the U.S. around 1840.

Mr. Nancy is one of the cooler characters from American Gods, especially in his TV incarnation with Orlando Jones playing him.

Hmmm... I believe those are using given forenames, not surnames. "Negative Nancy" emerged in the 80s after developing from "Negative Nellie." Similar terms: Debbie Downer (the short form "Debbie" is only used as a forename); Doubting Thomas (while Thomas is frequently a surname, this derives from the Apostle Thomas, a forename); Chatty Cathy (the short form "Cathy" is only used as a forename); Plain Jane (again, while Jane is sometimes used as a surname, many believe it derives from British novelist Compton Mackenzie's dismisal of Jane Eyre, where it is a forename); Simple Simon (in this case, Simon is a forename, in fact the only name given for the character in the 18th-century chapbook Simple Simon's Misfortunes and his Wife Margery's Cruelty); and so on. They're based on "given" names so they can be "given" to anyone!

Ah yes that joy of getting paid, only to have had to eat a larger than expected car repair bill, various house bills/fees, and then you see what you have to stretch out till next pay cheque. Guess I didn't need that Ryoko's kickstarter after all!
