Is that the Hank Cocaine who's friends with Steve Buttstuff?

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 11 months ago

Please, Hank Cocaine is my father. Call me Hank Dank.

[–] mtpender@sh.itjust.works 21 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Don't they mean "Hank Propane"?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

No no, this one sells cocaine and cocaine accessories. Trust me you do not wanna mix up cocaine and propane.

That's how Dalton killed Benicio del Toro.

Ahhhahaaa!

You. Scrolling by. Did you slip by w/o clicking that link?

You sure you made the right choice?

Did you not see the fishing episode?

My family name comes from beer making in Germany. But I hate the taste of beer.

Is that you Mr.Brauwasseraufbereitungsanlage?

[–] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I meet mostly moms. So I save them with their name and their kid's name and sometimes the location we've met (usually a playground nickname) on my phone. Sarah Noah Locomotive, Madlene Jacob Crown, Vitali Pasha Poop.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Poor Pasha Poop, do they even know?

[–] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

They weren't literally standing in poop. It's just the playground's nickname thanks to all the dogshit.

A lot of Hungarian family names are based on location. They basically translate to things like "Croatian Esther" and "German Andrew", or with village names. My phone is the same: I'm nomadic and people's names end up being where I know them from: "Steve Bangkok", "Nora London", "Maxine Cape Town"

[–] joby@programming.dev 3 points 11 months ago

I put place and a word or two of the context I met them. In my case it's usually the instrument they play like:

Jane (NOLA music clarinet)

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wait, what's a "Cooper"?

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 31 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Someone who makes barrels.

[–] TheBrideWoreCrimson@sopuli.xyz 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

"Fassbinder" in German, a quite common last name. So Michael Fassbender means "Michael Cooper."

[–] harribert@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Küfer or Böttcher also exists.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Huh now it's got me wondering if that's where the word "cooperate" comes from. Maybe it takes more more than one person to make a barrel.

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 28 points 11 months ago

No. “Cooperate” is co-operate. Co means “with” or “together”.

So “work together”

Makes me wonder about the connotations behind Emily Dickinson's family name...

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Presumably it's Scandinavian, son of the Dickins... so her family was known for Dickins all around.

I have a lot of:
Sparky
Company (position)
(kids name) School/Playgroup/Community Group

Note: I work with a lot of electricians.
