I knew a guy named Thor. He was from a Nordic nation (I'd like to say Norway) and had the physique to be able to pull off such a name off.

I had a colleague named Odin once. He did absolutely not have the physique to pull such a name off

you think there was ever someone referred to as "Jerker the Berzerker"?

Jerker Jerkerson

Sadly, in all other germanic languages, j is pronounced like an English y so the jerk part in Jerker is pronounced kinda like the word yell but with a rolled r instead of the double l.

Jerker is an extra swedish version of Erik iirc. You still meet people called that.

Eufrosyne

Now that one is on you. That's one of the three graces.

I'd heard of Jerk before but Jerker is even funnier because of jagoff

My apologies to the Greeks but that's simply a mouthful

Eufrosyne

Same amount of syllables as pepperoni. Just sayin'

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

It's not about how many syllables there are but what is in those syllables

A Greek man walks into a tailor shop and hands the tailor a pair of pants.

The tailor asks: "Euripides?"

The man replies, "yes, Eumenides?"
