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

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 1 month ago

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

[–] mtpender@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Don't they mean "Hank Propane"?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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.

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 1 month 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 1 month ago (1 children)

Poor Pasha Poop, do they even know?

[–] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month 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"

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)

Wait, what's a "Cooper"?

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Someone who makes barrels.

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

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

[–] harribert@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Küfer or Böttcher also exists.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month 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 27 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

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

Sparky
Company (position)
(kids name) School/Playgroup/Community Group

Note: I work with a lot of electricians.
