Reply #37: I hate that! [View All]

anyway...Auntie Lance is the one that my friend calls them, and then I like using Log Cabinettes when I talk about them.

Anyhow, the trend to use the FULL christian name is pervasive. I hate it. I call someone Mike out of friendliness, and "It's Michael!"...usually with a snooty, half irritated tone as if I've breached some sacrosanct decorum.:eyes:

It's Johnathan!...It's Charles!...It's Richard! GAG!

I think it's some kind of elitist queen who wouldn't give the time of day to the common riff-raff, over thirty crowd of "tired queens" who don't matter anymore. "See, I use MULTIPLE syllables in MY name, so everybody must bow before me and use more tongue gyrations, longer breath, and more effort to honor my presence with their utterance of my title, because I'm THAT important! This also helps because I don't want to get toooooo close and friendly with anybody, because lord knows they ALL want me for my body!":puke:
