A Public Service Announcement

[geniph]

I wish to clarify the pronunciation of my name and my DU nickname. Aristus thought it was pronounced "gun-niff" when we met Saturday night. Um. My name is Geni, pronounced like I dream of...my nickname is Geni P. H-----, as that is my name.

I now return you to the regularly scheduled threads about sex, food, movies and music.

Oh wait, the sex threads have been canceled. I now return you to the regularly scheduled threads about food, movies, music, and making fun of Ann Coulter's Adams Apple (to quote Aaron McGruder, "that thing is HUGE!").

6. Hmph.

Mine is actually "shirt boss," but nobody will ever say it right. And no, I'm not kidding. I'm totally series. This is hugh!

7. I should have just used my first name

when I set up my nickname...but everyone mispronounces that, too, as Jenny or Gina, or even stranger permutations. I'll respond to almost anything even close.

Oh well, I was almost named Gaye Priscilla, so I can't complain too much. My mother thought it was cute to give us all the same initials, and I was the youngest of far too many, so she'd run out of names by the time I came along. Luckily, my eldest sister talked her out of Gaye Priscilla. So I've spent my life correcting both the spelling and pronunciation of my name.
