Called my gf as 'Zabe' and she's trying to cut my head off

[–] Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just call her Abe, that'll calm her down for sure.

[–] Christopher@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Three decades I've had this name and only now am I noticing that.

You could also top her.

[–] SwampYankee@mander.xyz 14 points 1 year ago

Chris, top her.

[–] pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I wish I had a cool name that had words in it.

[–] UndefinedIsNotAFunction@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sorry it took you so long. To be fair though, I forgot about it entirely and I also have been using this name for a very long time.

Oh god I'd be afraid to call her that in public lol. Sounds way too much like whiffer which would be very rude

[–] mustardman@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 1 year ago

Finally the first good DLC for names. The last update turning Leonardo into just Leo really broke the immersion.
