Give your B.N.A. ( voluntary and for free)

Board Name Anagram:

Many users on the board keep a low (empty) profile.
So "meeting" others leaves you with faint and maybe wrong impressions about how or what he/she might be.

For anyone I who dares I suggest a board name anagram with some personality facts. Adjectives or Nouns, whatever. For good and /or for bad I just give this try. Here goes:

Bashful
Reckless
Anticipating
Nonscientific
Stubborn
Harmless (subject to the condition that..)
Enterprising
Apprehensive


Of course this can be done with more fun and / or creativity.
So much the better.

Likewise, and I've NEVER added an "e" on the end, neither.

>it's "said" as sue me..

well, no. it's pronounced sue-em (or tsue-em, if you buy into Faldage's reading).

Or either that, or tsoom, if you buy into Faldage's reading, one.

I hate to disagree, but tsoom is actually the pronunciation of the heteronym, tsuwm [Hebrew]
Posted By: BranShea Re: B.N.A. board name anagram - 03/07/07 07:01 AM
Oh, you all make me laugh! You used 11 posts about this. Excuse me,Tsuwm, but what a about a simple anagram of your acronym? Who would know the difference?
Posted By: Buffalo Shrdlu Re: B.N.A. board name anagram - 03/07/07 10:55 AM
> a simple anagram

see #166580

and I guess I can start adding the second syllable to tsuwm.

But, in the meantime, I would add a little comment here to the effective way people can mess up a topic if they want to.Topics often take sideways,no problem, as most of the time the ones causing them are sensible enough to put them back on trail. I made a clear first post.If you don't feel like 'playing'this thing, why not leave it alone? I mean, I laughed from sheer unbelief.Not really for joy.

What has the fact that you pronounce Tsuwm this way or that to with the subject and what is the use of telling that your name is an anagram,or acronym, when you are unwilling to share it's meaning?
Pronounciation stuff is done on Q&A. I really don't see the point. You don't like it you can leave it.
I write this in public in stead of by PM's, because the anagram thing was just a little try to let know and get to know some harmless things to and from others.
So,I've said it.

Aw Bran, sooner or later someone returns these things to topic. Or sometimes not. If it doesn't return to topic it just means that the audience's attention span . . . oh, a string.

The first theme has been presented, also the second theme, and the first theme has returned - now it's time to proceed to the development.

Variation one: a bigram-acronym - using the initial two letters:

WO rld
FA mous
HU mble
LI ttle
CO untry
DOC tor (add one to grow on at the end)

Next?

now that we've undigressed, as it were, I have an observation:

to this point, not one post in this entire thread has made any attempt at an anagram, as I understand the concept. <confused>


-tsuwm (What Meaning Under the Sun?)
Posted By: TEd Remington Re: B.N.A. board name anagram - 03/09/07 09:45 AM
tsuwm:

You are right, the proposal was not for anagrams, but a sabra hen might wear an ashen bra at a bash near where you live, just as an herb can cause a bean rash.
Posted By: BranShea Re: B.N.A. board name anagram - 03/09/07 09:47 AM
Tsuwm is right. I did give the wrong example. Acronym is the extension of the name. For anagram you should re-arrange the letters into something new.(more interesting maybe).
I'll think of one. Could take the both.(maybe not) The capital A is still standing.
Posted By: TEd Remington Re: B.N.A. board name anagram - 03/09/07 02:11 PM
Look up, Bran. I put a handful in the prior post.
Posted By: tsuwm Re: B.N.A. board name anagram - 03/09/07 02:40 PM
and I once again mantled an expansion anagram of tsuwm just before that.

Yes, Branshea, tsuwm is right; but it seems tsuwn would rather be right than play to the spirit of the game so I will play for him. According to the letters tsuwm is...

t territorial
s snide
u unforgiving
w withdrawn
m merciless

...at times.

And at other times he can be...

t tender
s sensitive and sexy
u unassuming
w witty
m metromanly

...but not often.

Ok, eatoin.
I'd like to begin by saying that you are quick with a quip but you don't have a "q" to your name.

Right now my mouse is acting up so I must drive twenty miles over the mountain to the Wal-mart in Springville to get a new one. Later, eatoin.
Posted By: tsuwm etaoin, remixed - 03/09/07 09:04 PM
I atone : inevitably all those offending need exculpation
Why anagram acronym? Corn may. Cry, moan (or Mona, or Noam, if you prefer...)

But I digress.

...didn't we once have a thread with words deacronymized, such that the final word of the expansion became the next acronym to be expanded? I couldn't find it in a quick skimming of this Wordplay/Fun forum, but perhaps I hurried past it in my haste. It was pretty popular for a while, as I recall.

But let's work on our name acronyms a little more first, before we even consider resurrecting that one.

No etaoin, that's not cute. That's a typo. Your own anagram/acronym will be cute. It will now include the term "impetuous".
ooh, goody! impetuous. I like that.

ETAOIN --- I NO EAT

etaoin's tender, artless oratorios impart naturally.
"I'm not operatic." etaoin adds tenor-tonely.
artless.

ouch.
bairn </index.php?term=bairn> <http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=bairn> <http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=bairn>
"child" (of any age), O.E. bearn, probably related to beran ("bear (v.), carry, give birth"). Not chiefly Scottish.


Found my avatar anagram : has bearn (two)+(1)+(four)

Coincidence, may "child " (of any age) stand for the love of playing till the end of days. Amen.

(No, I wouldn' t, but I did post. I'm am oathbraker as well )The addiction is serious( Now back to a new day of calculations.)


And ETAOIN---E asy with quips, did I ever see you add something more than a quip? When are going to sing one?
Posted By: BranShea Re: acrostic,Tsuwm - 03/10/07 09:31 AM
This one is for Tsuwm, atoned and well meant. Except for being inconsquent and addicted( no,no drinking , drugs or gambling) I like a bit of accuracy too. Three choices or mixes, meaning whatever you like .
Maybe is was the acrostic I meant. But never mind.

An acrostic is a poem or some other text written in an alphabetic script, in which the first letter of each verse, paragraph, or some other recurring feature in the text spells out another message.

An acronym (Greek ακρον, akron, "tip" + ονυμα, onyma, "name") is an abbreviation formed from the initial letters of words

An anagram is a word or phrase spelled by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase.

(From Old patient Webster's)

If I am to write, etaoin, you must learn to read.

artless - natural, not contrived or phoney.

In terms of the acronym/anagram the word "operatic" is pejorative.

I wonder...

Why do I continue to be so nice when the world misunderstands?

Being artless is the best praise an artist can get.

Milo, please accept my humblest apologies. artless, in its true definition, was not a word I was familiar with. funny how a word can look so opposite of its meaning.
Posted By: themilum Re: somebody has too much time on his hands - 03/10/07 10:54 PM
etaoin, and I, in turn, am humbled by your apology.
See? No matter what; I can't win!
O.k., here's my try at an acrostic. Those who've met me will be able to say if it's really me.

Bodacious and bawdy, but in such a nice way
Eloquent and enthusiastic, I am every day
Loving and lovely, like many folks here
Madcap madam, without any fear
Audacious and avid, it’s all in the name
Riotous and rowdy, I’ll join in the game
Delightful, delighted, as much as I can
Unshy and unfettered, I find that I am
Kind and kooky, without any rhyme,
...... because I’ve reached the end of the line.
