mash-up 1: MONIKERING pre-next installment

the practice-preview run preceding this post is over here. before the next installment of moniker-counseling for a girlfriend, i decided to revisit the monikers i've given (somewhat haphazardly and pre-made-up rules) to the half-dozen clips of landfill boys and do a little self-qa/qc ...

the beginning of the 1/2-dozens started over here ... a bit inspired by iceman who sayeth -

"Then again, if you spend your whole day
walking through a landfill all the time,
you might come to the conclusion
that the planet stinks."

- and well ... i had committed not to trudge through a landfill (no matter what hairy palms tells me about dealing with the sahara desert), so i decided to do some dating (and almost dating) nostalgia. anyway, back to the self-qa/qc of the monikers, and perhaps i'll remoniker a few of them.

made-up RULE #1 ...

CHOOSE A MONIKER THAT IS NOT OBVIOUS
while one that also is
PERSONALLY (for you) DESCRIPTIVE.

are the monikers ... discreet - general - descriptive - personal?

1. skateboard dude ... i'll say 2/4.
   general & personal, but not necessarily descriptive and discreet. if i referred to him as skateboard dude among the balance of friends, his identity would be too obvious - discreet would be out the door! the back-story is ... yawn! so this fellow would be better off with a different moniker.
   
   
2. meow-meow ... this is a 4/4 - all the great markers of a good moniker.
   the best part of this is i can speak of meow-meow whenever and wherever. i have friends who have their own meow-meows. great back-story(ies) - did i mention that meow-meow inadvertently found himself dating a shemale? and personal? well, i cheated a bit; i didn't quite come up with the name. i told a petula story about meow-meow to a friend & she immediately grabbed onto meow-meow - as did i. as did i.
   
   
3. purple-pleated-pants ... my oh my, another 2/4.
   general & descriptive, but not so much discreet and personal. when referring to how someone dresses, discreet kinda goes out the door (circa 70s/80s). it's like saying "members only jacket" dude or "puma" shoe wearing guy. likely, such a moniker is more telling than discreet. usually, when monikering based on some identifiable clothing choice, others will certainly be able to figure out whom your talking about.
   
   however, using p3 ...? this makes it a 3/4.
   there is a great back-story to p3, and the issue of discreet is resolved. p3 is a good moniker, however the p3 moniker is a bit of a short-cut to meeting the "personal" characteristic. simply put, it's more of a personal code or something. going acronym or abbreviation is o.k. for monikering, but the acronum/abbrev should be used only you are pressed for time.
   
   
4. 976-boy ... clearly a 4/4.
   great back-story for descriptive. awesomely discreet. quite personal. and certainly general. ANYONE can use this moniker. anyone! (this fellow also could have been moniker'd coconut-shrimp-boy, but 976-boy has a much better back-story than the coconut-shrimp-boy back-story (.. for which i no longer own the cookware he left).
   
   
5. wb#2 ... this really only gets a 1/4.
   here is where wb#2 was first moniker'd - over here. within the context of the back-story, it's personal. HOWEVER, discreet and descriptive? no. general? TOO general. unfortunately, a more obvious moniker would be asian p***y boy, however, this breaks the second made-up rule ...
   
   made-up RULE #2 ...
   A MONIKER SHALL **NOT** BE
   MISOGYNISTIC, RACIST, OR GENITALIA-ISH.
   (it's just uncool.)
   
   
6. big meat ... this gets a 2/4, even though it's a 4/4 candidate.
   descriptive, yes but not necessarily for the right reasons. not so discreet. general, yes but again - perhaps not necessarily for the right reasons. and finally personal? eh - not so much. similar to meow-meow, big meat was a nickname that my friend todd chose. unlike meow-meow, it just doesn't have that same personal touch (so to speak).
   

so to recap - the primo monikers from this batch are meow-meow & 976-boy. the sitting-in-the-corner-with-dunce-cap-on moniker from this batch include wb#2. all others are sitting in the middle of the pack.
