Nickname Recognition #1 (permalink) Fri Jan 11, 2008 23:53 pm   Nickname Recognition
 

Let's play a game in which we supply a famous person's nickname, and ask the other posters to guess the person's full name (or shortened full name -- at least first and last names). I'll start things off... who can be the first to supply the correct answer?!

So here we go, nickname #1:

The Mad Monk

Hi, Tom

An entertaining game, but you should have stipulated one important condition: one should not use Google Smile

The answer is 99% Grigory Rasputin, my fellow countryman Smile

nickname #2: Slim

Alex,

I guess that would be Eminem. I like to listen to his song on a speaker, not on a headphone. I have a superb headphone, which I didn't regret putting a bundle on and even when he is rapping very fast I can catch every word he said and they are not pleasant to my ears. Sorry, but his music is cool though.

If so, I'm not going to join you. I'd better read and see your posts. Very Happy

Do you agree to this stipulated condition by Alex, Prez?:-p

Alex, I would have guessed "Eminem" by default -- only because I know how very fond you are of Eminem. Cool Laughing

How about this nickname:
The Pelvis

And oh Alex, why is his nick 'Slim'? I never understand it. He is not that slim...unless, it has other meaning and I bet a real fan would know. Razz Can you tell us?

Hi, Amy

Yeah, you're right ! I'm very keen on his lyrics.

Hi, NinaZara

I can only guess here, but slim might mean cunning, sly, so Eminem wants to give himself out as a sly, shady guy Smile
