Super User islandbass Posted July 31, 2008 Super User Posted July 31, 2008 I recognize the name. A warm welcome from the Pacific Northwest. BTW, because I have nothing better to do, I just realized your screen name is a retronym... for the word diva. 8-) Quote
Hoover Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Off from the computer for a few days and look what happens . . . As Burely said, there goes the neighborhood. Welcome back, but tell me, how does a newbie get to be a junior member with only one post? ;D ;D ;D Are you catching any fish? Quote
avid Posted August 1, 2008 Author Posted August 1, 2008 Welcome back, but tell me, how does a newbie get to be a junior member with only one post My posts are so superior they count as 10 from you errrrrr....average types. : Quote
Zel Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Avid, obviously you never sampled the humble pie in your hiatus LOL. Great to have that superior wit and edgy sense of humor back amongst us mere mortals. Quote
George Welcome Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 I recognize the name. A warm welcome from the Pacific Northwest. BTW, because I have nothing better to do, I just realized your screen name is a retronym... for the word diva. 8-) Be careful with such big words as some may consider you a snob. That said, I have never heard of a diva described as being avid. Perhaps a better choice would be to have said that avid is an anagram for diva. Now maybe I had better go fishing. Quote

I am definitely not a snob and was definitely not ribbing Avid. I just happened to notice that his screen name just happened to be a retronym just as pots is to stop. Perhaps I am using the wrong word, but its definition is a word that when spelled backward makes another word. http://www.startwright.com/words1.htm [see retronym (2)] I apologize if I have offended anyone. -Alex Quote

The Prune Possy ;D now set back Alex and see what Avid or his boys are really good at Quote
George Welcome Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 Alex, It was said in jest, however what you pointed out was an anagram, not a retronym. Webster's: a term consisting of a noun and a modifier which specifies the original meaning of the noun <film camera is a retronym> Close to home: spinning reel, fly rod, bait caster, are all retronyms, as are digital phone, analog phone, and global positioning system.

nboucher Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Not online much these days, so it took me awhile to see this good news. With BR growing so quickly, it's great to see Muddy and Avid back to bring it some continuity. Great to see your posts again, Avid. Quote
