This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yes I'm sure those aren't at all made up.

That is how you spell pheonix and I don't care what the Oxford English dictionary or anyone else says.

I think it was the wordsmith Scroobius pip that wrote that lyric

[–] Birch 3 points 2 days ago

Ah, I only know the song, didn't know which of the two wrote it

The Thurman is easy to shorten, at least nowadays. Just add a thick drawl to the 'Thur' and say, "but everybody calls me Thor," and roll your eyes a bit. They'll laugh, tease you about it a bit because you got named after a comic book character, and then you won't be known as Thurman.

spoilerI'm well aware that Thor did not originate in comic books. Thank you for reading my TED Sp(ew)Ed.

I knew a Thor in highschool. I think his name was actually Anthor? I could be wrong. Knew his brother also, named Mordecai. They had a lot more sibling I never learned their names. They were an...interesting family.

Thursday is Thor's Day. Just say your name is Thur and a day of the week is named after you.

A kid in my kids class went by Thor.... short for Thorafin

Thurman is short for Turd Ferguson

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago

Is your name Thurman?... Thurman Merman?... Jesus.

When I was much younger, my gf and I joked about naming an unwanted child to punish them (in reality, we'd get an abortion). We decided Paisley was the best bad name. But I think Thurman's parents hated them even more.

Can't they just, adopt the correct version of their name?

I have a friend with a very arcaic name and most people don't know what we call him is not his real name.

People don't realize that this has always been the case. I learned my wife's grandpa's real name at his funeral.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

My grandpa had the middle name Adolph, named after his father's first name. They both changed their names to Allen in America. 😂 And no, they weren't fond of Nazis.

I work with a Furman, like not even a furry. (As far as I know.)

Maybe you could shorten Thurman to Thurry?

[–] Gullible 3 points 2 days ago

thurry

I’m getting an image of cold tomato soup with hair in it.

Phoenix is a cool name, tho. Even if it's spelled wrong.

Though I'm not gonna say my name here, I could respond to that thread.
