There's a Costa Rican footballer called Priscila Chinchilla. It's a lot less funny if you pronounce it as it would be in Spanish, but drat if I haven't said it out loud to myself, the anglophone way, every couple of minutes for the past hour, and laughed every time.

Runcible Cat posted:I once stunned a Lincolnshire guy by calling him a yellowbelly. He didn't expect that from a Londoner. I was curious and went to wikipedia. The reason folk from there are called that is after the town's coat of arms. But the reason there's a dog on the coat of arms seems to have quite a few explanations, as usual. Also Mary, Queen of Scots, was from there! Looks like a nice enough place.

Well, the main story that I heard was back in the day of the Thanes/Chieftains/Whatevers there was a man accused of being a thief and the head guy in charge said 'Ok, you're guilty and for your punishment, we're locking you up on the island on Linlithgow loch and you'll starve to death.' And a week or so passes, and the guy's not dead - so the big man thinks 'What's up with this, then?', so he gets a 24 hour watch on the prisoner, and finds out he had a dog that was so well trained, it would gather up scraps of bread thrown out by the local bakers at the end of the day and swim across to the island with them so it's master could eat. And so touched by this show of devotion and fealty, the headman... chained the dog to the island and let IT starve to death, too.

Had a report from a guy last name Kiker. I looked it up because I didn't believe it was a real last name. It is. I even found a Rich Kiker which is doubly unfortunate.

From yesterday's birthday list: Miessa (normal last name) And two different Kaitlyns, apparently working at the same hotel and spelling their names the exact same way. I imagine that sometimes gets confusing.

I just came across a book by someone with the surname Haebich. I'm sure it's a perfectly fine surname somewhere, but I can't imagine this woman had an easy adolescence in Australia with a surname like "Hey Bitch."

Worked with a guy years ago called Sterling Blaze [lastname], he was a good dude but definitely not cool enough for his name right now we've got an Emberlee, a Kenzie (no, it's not short for anything), a misspelled Jeremy who's a bit too old to be a victim of the creative spelling trend, and the only male Leslie I've ever known

But the woman is Australian, and I was theorising about her actual childhood, not what her childhood may have been like if she'd grown up elsewhere.
