Come on, admit it, we know you named it NOW TELL US!

No Im not talking about THAT! ( but if you want to tell us what you named your little dingaling, you’re welcome too :wink: )

Your COMPUTER!

*Originally posted by morse *
Anyway, my computer’s name is “stupid bastard”.

Mine is JOE… COMPUTER that is; my computer’s name is JOE (all caps though pronouced in question and with absurdity)

Usually the words…

“Come on you dumb piece of **** work!”

Does that count for a name?!

lol

Actually… I don’t really have a name for that… =)

**“Come on you dumb piece of **** work!” **

ok, not bad… unique and your kids (should you have any) will know that you arent talking about them and get confused (lets hope so at least!)

others?

usually ‘stupid piece of ****’ when its not working, and ‘you beautiful piece of machinery’ when its working correctly.

has no one any faith in modern technology??

my computer ALWAYS works! :thinks: cough yeah… ALWAYS!

:sigh: oh well… off to the grinders to think of a better topic… hmmmmmmm

mine is “I love you, now dont crash cause nothing is backed up and i will put a gun in my mouth if you do”

Lol this thread is halarious.

backing up is gooooooood

I think nows the time to start mdipi!

lol… Yeah… Backing up is typically a good thing…

I keep anything important on cd-rw’s… Makes for great libraries of cds and it’s not that bad… Just do it… every week or after doing smething big… Or downloading somehting big… Later you will thank yourself…

Before we got the new motherboard and everything in it… I called it “Putt Putt” (the sound old cars make when they go slowly down the road… lol)

But Now I call it “Z-Ram” or Marz backwords… Kind-a sounds cool :slight_smile:

you might know mine is Joselin, and we have a beuatiful relationship

it all started when i met her at the mall…she was standing in the window looking beautiful, and her price tag was only $1345!!! i thought DAM what a bargain, and i’ve never regretted buying her
she has been a friend through thick and thin and she will be with me until my death

from another thread: My comp (Frankenstein) is a true Clydesdale. It doesn’t have a case, just the frame, you start it by touching 2 wires together, but I still talk nice to it, make sure he gets his inoculations, make sure his fish are fed (my screensaver is a saltwater fish tank)… I even pasted a picture of the view from my apt. in Hawaii to the front, so he won’t scare the cat…

When I need to speak tersley, I may call him “BoltNeck,” or “SpareParts.” But I would never call him “A GD Left Handed SOB” (my grandfather’s fav phrase)… ever…

:beam:

Rev

I’m afraid mine is also a “You-Little-Bastard-Don’t-Do-That-Or-I’ll-Thump-You-ARGH”, generally…

? Thats too cute! If someone told me that Id giggle, look down at my feet as I was brushing one foot side to side with my handslocked behind my back and say giggle “ok!”

Bastard is a start, but little as a prefix totally makes it adorable. And the primary users of the word “thump” are Bambi fans and cute little 6 yr old girls. I mean its not a bad word to use, its just too cute. computers dont respond well (ie. negatively) to cute. You need to throw some cursing and screaming in there. Look at Jubba and playamarz for example:

‘stupid piece of ****’
‘…dumb piece of ****’

certain phrases which are sure to make the computer hate you and eventually stop working for you altogether out of spite.

Morse also uses bastard pretty well

‘stupid bastard’

I have a feeling he’ll have a hard-drive crash in a week or so. I mean look at jubba now!!

You, on the other hand, Kitiara, will haev no problems since you are too nice to your computer, calling it cute things which could quite possibly turn most men on cough

so in conclusion, I suggest go all out and use as many foul, un-cute adjectives as possible when giving some where-for to your computer. That way… your computer… will… not like you and… crash? no wait. That doesnt make sense at all…

BE NICE TO YOUR COMPUTER

I usually hit mine…

It hurts, but it feels good afterwards…

Sometimes I just flip the power switch, just to show I’m still in charge :wink:

Ah, I am a lady and have been brought up never to use abusive language. :blush:

Nah, who am I kidding? :slight_smile:

I don’t tend to swear <i>at</i> my computer, I just sort of mutter “oh for ****s sake…” a lot. :slight_smile:

Oh, and are you American? Because I the word “thump” is fairly common in England. Or at least in my bit of it… Er…

I’ll get me coat.

comfy?

“thump”… :stuck_out_tongue:

I use “Thwack” a lot =)

ah yes, good point, I didnt take that into consideration.

How about:

“daft wally”

?

Those are two terms youd never here in the states but from what I understand its not good.

Yep… “Daft” means thick or stupid and “wally” is another term for plonker. Although you guys probably don’t say plonker either, right? How about twit? Nitwit? Fool? Imbecile? That’s what “wally” means… They’re quite tame really compared to some of the stuff we come out with. :slight_smile:

:frowning: Im so bad with english english foul-mouthing

oh bugger !
