Talk:Nicknames

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 04:59, 9 April 2005

Um, some poor soul got WikiTrolled for adding "false" nicknames that were 100% genuine. The problem is that he slightly misattributed them - they weren't in kids' book per se, they were in Strumstar Hammer (the fake version of the original book.) --Jay 14:43, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)

My fault. I searched on kids' book and didn't see the nicknames, so I assumed it was a troll. I should've searched the names before I accused him. I'll remove him from WikiTroll and clean up all this mess. →[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

Yeah, it's okay. Enough troll edits will make you paranoid, I know. Just hope we didn't offend him. --Jay 16:37, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)

I doubt he even knew he was on WikiTroll (or even what WikiTroll is). →[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

I thought he might have been blocked, but that doesn't seem to be the case. --Jay 16:49, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)

Wrestle-name

Wasn't Homestar referring to Strong Mad when he talked about the 'two-bit wrestleman'? After all, he didn't know that Strong Bad was on Strong Badia's side before he saw him playing badminton. Thus, shouldn't 'two-bit wrestleman' be listed as a Strong Mad nickname, but 'Wrestleman' be listed as a Strong Bad nickname?

From the transcript of army:

{scene changes to The Stick}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Are you sick and tired of playing second-fiddle to a two bit wrestle man and his yellow dog?

CROWD: YEAH!

I think Homestar is talking about Strong Bad and The Cheat here. I don't think Homestar refers to Strong Mad at all in the email. From reading the rest of Homestar's speech, it would seem he is referring to other things that either Strong Bad has done or Strong Bad has.

So as of right now, the nicknames listed are correct in this respect. -- Tom 13:52, 19 Feb 2005 (MST)

Meatball Face Butt

• Meatball Face Butt (Strong Bad, dangeresque 3)

I removed this because Meatball Face Butt isn't technically attributed by Strong Bad to Homestar. It's given by Dangeresque to Dangeresque. --Upsilon 05:45, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)

An Ogre

• an ogre (Marzipan, dreamail)

Surely this doesn't count as a nickname? --Upsilon 06:02, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)

One character = another?

Does it count when one character (usually Homestar) refers to another character with a third character's name - ie. when Homestar calls Strong Bad "Strong Sad" in caper, or when he calls Strong Bad "Pom Pom" in the facts? --Jay 22:59, 8 Apr 2005 (MDT)
