      You should, incidentally, have a Spaceman Spiff avvie.
      Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

          "The Rabbis, interpreting "Azazel" as "Azaz" (rugged), and "el" (strong), refer it to the rugged and rough mountain cliff from which the goat was cast down (Yoma 67b; Sifra, Aḥare, ii. 2; Targ. Yer. Lev. xiv. 10, and most medieval commentators).Most modern scholars, after having for some time indorsed the old view, have accepted the opinion mysteriously hinted at by Ibn Ezra and expressly stated by Naḥmanides to Lev. xvi. 8, that Azazel belongs to the class of "se'irim," goat-like demons, jinn haunting the desert, to which the Israelites were wont to offer sacrifice (Lev. xvii. 7 [A. V. "devils"]; compare "the roes and the hinds," Cant. ii. 7, iii. 5, by which Sulamith administers an oath to the daughters of Jerusalem. The critics were probably thinking of a Roman faun)."

            It's perfectly true. I strated playing LAN with a "Spiff" nickname (from Calvin & Hobbes), and my nick is actually "Spiff" on the forum of my LAN friends.

            "Spiffor" is a derivation, because Spiff is way too common. I'm quite proud of the derivation (as I'm the only one in the world to use it), but it still isn't the real thing.

              Maybe I should ask Ming to change my user name to BeB.

              Pekka could change his to Pek. And Ted Striker to Ted

                      Change is to "ajaw" (or "ahau"), then.

                        I'd just like to point out...

                        If this were my thread, it would be deleted by now.

                        Please continue...

                          Irrelevant.

                          SPIFFOR is your apolyton nickname and that's it. I mean, My LAN nickname is Dr.Dre, but who gives a ****?

                            are you trying translate yod-hay-vuv-hay, the 4 letter hebrew name of G-d? In English scholars usually say "yahweh". It wouldnt sound too Jewish either, as traditional jews never pronounce that name (though the element Yah is used in names, and the word halleluyah) If anything it would sound like a particularly funky type of fundementalist Protestant, the kind with an obsession over the Jewish roots of Christianity.

                            I'll stick with the king of Rohan, thank you.

                              But this one really intrigues me: Dissident, a classic, was reduced to a tasteless Dis. Dis? It's not even how we use to shorten his nick! We always use "Diss", not "Dis"! "Diss", you heard me?

                              I'm appalled.
                              Deathtoungue. I forgot about that. I wish I could use that name. Hilarious.
