After reading the ‘mamakash’ thread it occured to me that maybe we would have more fun referring to each other obliquely.
The way I see it if I use oblique references in a sentence nobody will be offended.
Some examples:
“A certain writer in Baltimore who…”
or “Mr. ‘I’ve got the highest post count and I’m in school in Kentucky’”
or “I won’t mention names but an ex-bobby who happens to hang out with a certain London melodian/fiddle player who’s friends with an American student who happens to live in London too…”
My mother, rest her soul, used to use that one a lot… " The person, who shall remain nameless, but whose initials are, ‘whatever their name actually was’,… " She was a very small woman, not over 5’2", and thin, but ever so intimidating, and properly serious, so it made it all the more laughable, which was her intent. I always wondered where it started.
