    Actually saw a Drutard or something similar running around the other day. Names like that annoy me but they're also really good because any character with a name that ends in 'tard' is usually a good sign they're a moron.

    Also drood is a little annoying but dudu... :x There was someone in my last guild that used to say that in place of druid every time. Think they thought it was cute.

    When people say drood it bothers the fuck out of me. Hover over the god damned character and it spells it for you you lazy ass mother fuckers.

    A lot of people are using loose for lose and that also bothers the fuck out of me.

    Finally, 3 letter names like Zhn or Apq.

    My Dwarf Paladin is named Ehn which is a great name so I guess fuck you. You know what names blow? 15 character names that can be spelled a million different ways and isn't spelled at all like it sounds. One of the guys at work is "Vonjungingen". Fuck that noise.

    There's something that annoys me about people who refer to paladins as "palas". I don't know what it is. It's a more efficient shortening of the word "paladin" than "pally (or pallies)" but there's something about "pala" that just seems so China farmer.

    Also, out of curiousity afterwards, I checked on Episiotomy on wowarmory.. Yeah, several of them. A few rogues, which seems appropriate enough.

    I saw my wife get one of those with our first kid. Don't look it up if you don't already know. Trust me on this one.

    Man, I hate it when people do this. Telling me not to look it up just makes me more curious.

    I do not think the illustration was really necessary on the wikipedia page. *shudder*

    Did you guys read the wiki? It basically says doctors use it to prevent all the exact problems the surgery causes. How the fuck does that work out? Hmm well to fix your broken leg, I think I'll hit it with this hammer for a bit, and see how that goes? Ahh.. I see, that's completely worse. Oh well go fuck yourself... oh and that'll be 10,000$.

    You're missing the point... Slices heal much better than tears. Could you imagine that tearing? Ouch. In any case, it can all be solved with massaging starting about 2 months out. Yes, I said that. I've massaged my wifes -aslgjas;ldjf-

    Sorry, someone tackled me and I couldn't finish that sentence.

    Ehn is okay since it could be a name. But Apq? What the fuck.

    I like names that are RP esque. I'd call your friend Jenga, because that name is nothing but a bunch of bricks falling down.

    Maybe they are far to lazy to spell Albuquerque when it comes to naming that character or they don't know how to spell that city

    I also like RP style names but then I made the name of Kerranarash for my warrior and have no idea how you say it

    Long names are mostly pointless, almost everyone ends up calling you by the first one or two syllables. Or maybe I'm just really lazy. For example, there's a girl in my guild whose main is "Daeliente", clearly that is too long, so everyone calls her "Dae".

    What REALLY pisses me off, is people who create alts and take good names, and you never ever see them, and their armories are out of date. And on my server, Medivh, there are SO many of these people. It's why I can't have cool names from the periodic table, like Tridium, or Zinc.

    Seriously people, go delete your level 5 alts, especially if you're gonna let your account lapse. Blizz's "no deleting inactive characters" policy pisses me off in this instance.

    I always make sure my names make for a good nickname, too. I always think "okay, how are people going to refer to me with this name?". Like my Female Paladin is "Aleksandra" which everyone will call "Aleks". My Gnome is "Timmerwink" which everyone will shorten to "Timmer" etc...

    It's not an accident or a typo, it's deliberately used as a derogatory term. Drood = noob.

    Maybe on your server. On the two servers I played "Drood" wasn't used in that way, it was just another way of saying drood - most usually used by druids themselves. Different strokes/different folks

    They've gotten to you.

    I played a drood for two years or so, so if I ever become a furry I'll know who to blame.

    Like this guy

    http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Tarren+Mill&n=Adda

    I don't want a fucking 'H' after my name but this failure has my normal nick. After not playing for a year and a half I now have a few guildies who didnt know me from before and they all exclusively call me Addah, so much so that even my old guildies have started to do it.

    I wish I could play a race that was a dwarf riding a tauren, both of them fighting together.

    Then they could seperate. Like Voltron.

    The Tauren would be the straight man out to clean up the streets of Dalaran and the Dwarf would be the wisecracking bastard only out to make money for his next glass of ale.

    And what race would be the Police Chief who is always shouting at the duo for using disproportionate force for the most minor of crimes, like the time they destroyed a Zeppelin and the tower just to capture the level 5 rogue pickpocket?

    You'll have a gnome as the smarty-pants weakling rookie (aka comedy sidekick) that's easily intimidated but can figure out cryptic clues and in one episode ends up saving one of the other cops' life by correctly interpreting a clue everyone else took to mean something else. The troll will be the easy goin cop who's on good terms with the city's filth and is used as a connection to the underworld whenever it's needed.

    The blood elf will be the blonde bombshell that has a thing for the tauren, who steers clear because of his dead wife. The dwarf, however, is constantly both pressuring the tauren to make a move, and attempting to do so himself.
