I recently got told on a thread that my nickname suggests I wouldn't offer sympathy to fellow MNers. How do you think people perceive your name as reflecting your posting style, and do you think I should change mine?

Promoting awareness for my son's health condition. I am a bit forgetful so used something at least I would remember.

I refuse to be drawn into a regional dispute over the turnip/swede dilemma.

Being so southern that I am practically in the Channel, I shall stick to the accepted local parlance. My greengrocer would give me odd sideward glances if I picked up one of those big orangy-purple feckers and said "please may I purchase this fine turnip?"

In fact he'd probably see me off the premises. Greengrocers take this kind of thing very seriously.

That I am a 'Forriner'

It means I am here in Spanish and I am always shouting it out, in shops, on trains, at the park. My two have a way of wandering off then spinning around and therefore being displaced to my location.

I might just change it.

Feminine · 20/10/2013 15:09

Mine is a shortened version of something else.

Although I suppose it is obvious how I'd be perceived...

and that would be correct!

FayeKorgasm · 20/10/2013 15:11

That perhaps once I pretended Wink

Minnieisthedevilmouse · 20/10/2013 15:14

Because I was watching Minnie now toons at the time I nec and frankly that cartoon makes me think she is.

Dunno what others think of me. Or more accurately my writing. I'm not sure I care really. Mostly I post in answer to a question so I'm posting a view which can be accepted or discarded but perhaps thought about even if only briefly....

That I'm a feisty housewife from Brooklyn, with a dodgy past.

NudeRevengeWiggle · 20/10/2013 15:36

Hopefully it says I'm a fan of The Big Bang Theory. But it might appear as though I am frightening and weird, the sort of person who you accidentally bump your trolley into and then later that night find at your window doing a naked slow dance of terror.
