Brian Carper = Dr. Unne.
What does Dr. Unne do? Why, he carps of course.
Carping was one of my vocabulary words in English, and it made me think of him.

That page explains the term, and I want to know if you guys and gals agree that Carper is quite the carper.
You are what you eat or in this case what your last name is.
Wow, it fits. Good lookin' out, Linus.
Do I get a gold star?
On your nose! *stick*
I don't think so.
Wow, that is pretty accurate.
No? I think it fits.Quote:

My last name is Czech for "little nut," so it kind of fits me too. ...Just thought I'd toss that in for the sake of converation.
I meant that I don't think that Linus deserves a gold star, but you posted before I did.
I still don't think so though. Brian is just honest in what he says.
Yeah, Carpie is a carper. :)
My last name is Sutherland, a county in Scotland. So yes, my last name fits me too!
And Dr Unne loves dictionary.com so it can't be wrong. :)
Wow, my life no longer makes sence. *curls up in a fetal position and thinks about cupcakes*
Is that why you chose to spam in one of my few legit threads? Evil.Quote:

Does it really seem like I nag?
Not nag, carp!
That's what it means. To nag, or to find fault in insignificant details.
I know, but I want you to say carp.
We all nag. There are a lot of people who nag more than you, Unne.
HOLY CRAP I GOT A GOLD STAR!
I FEEL PRETTY, OH SO PRETTY, AND WITTY, AND GAAAAAAY!
Way to spam up one of your few legit threads, Linus.
My last name's meaning fits me. I suppose after living with your name for so long, however, and liking it, you can relate to it rather easily.
I should like to think Unne carps constructively instead of incessantly nagging.
Indeed he is quite a carper.
Yes, that. For the most part. ;)Quote:

My last name is Towns. I cover a lot of ground?
That's why we love Dr Unne
Mother of all things holy, it FITS.
Arguably. :D

My last name is Swedish and it means spur. You know, like spur on horses.
Spåre? No, that's "track" as in "animal track".
No, it's not. It's older word for Kannus ( Spur). I asked my dad, and Salla's dad got it also for some weird reason, eventhough he's a teacher. Our family coat of arms also has spur, so it makes sense.

Läheisessä heimolaisuudessa edellisten nimien kanssa ovat semmoiset nimet, joilla on alkunsa josta-kusta vaate-kappaleesta. Tämmöisiä ovat. Kiiveri varmaan sota-väessä saatu. - Tupsunen, vert. saks. Knopf, jonka jälkimäisen kanssa nimellä Nupponen myös näyttää olevan yhteyttä. - Sopanen (sovat =vaatteet). - Turkki, Sarkkinen (katso edellä nimeä Nahkuri ja muutamia sen kanssa lueteltuja nimiä), saks. Pelz, ven. Schubin. - Mekkonen, Takkinen, saks. Wamsler, Kappe. - Hihonen. - Kormano. - Pöksyläinen, Nahkapöksy, Suurhousu. - Wirsu, Laapotti, Löttönen, Kautonen, Tallus, vert. saks. Schuh, Stiefel, Stiebel, Strümpfler. - Kannus, Sporn, Spohr, Sporer, Spohrmann, ruots. Spåre.
Hah, beat Nait in language-something. :-)
Awww I wanted to my last name but I broke it.

I was just... Kidding.
I know. ;-)
But seriously, our family name is weird as I could never find it from dictionary, and every Swede I've asked about the name, they've never said they've never heard such a name. *_*
How do you make smileys bigger?
You cheat and use the img-tag and height= and weight= and width=. =|
Spåre is a cognate to "spår" (in finlandsvenska, the definite derivation of this word is /spo:re/, which I'll write as "spååre", which would mean "the track of someone or something", or "ski-track") still, though.
But there's no such a thing.
My last name is Powell, and I think Carper carps if we use carp loosely I think I just misspelled that. I don't know what Powell means. I can say cell phone in German. Das Handy! xD
Tryson.
Try, son?

The good doctor and I disagree about a good many things. He does raise good points sometimes, he does contradict his own positions sometimes, and often he's too nitpicky.
BUT! he's ok. not everybody has to agree with me, and if they have evidence to support their positions and not abstract philosophical introspective babble, then I'll reconsider my positions.
