Monty Python got some good alliterative mileage out of that term in their movie “And Now For Something Completely Different.” One sequence in the movie is a fake WWII British newsreel, in black and white, with suitably bombastic narration that includes the opening line “Yes, the war against the Hun continues – and as Britian’s brave boys battle against the Boche…” By the standards of genuine WWII newsreels, that’s actually not as over-the-top as it sounds to modern ears. And during a real WWII deception operation, the fake letter from General Nye to General Alexander which was the centrepiece of the “Mincemeat” disinformation scheme used such phrases as “We have had recent information that the Boche have been reinforcing and strengthening their defences in Greece and Crete…”
What do your names mean?

There is actually a third possibility. It could be derived from the latin word avinious (meaning turdball). Hey, it’s a possibility!

“Arrr wench, munch on me mutton!”
“Eh lassie, walk me plank.”
'I’m lookin to bury me treasure in your blarney deep!!!"
My old Army nickname was “Raunchy” and apply that to the ole pirate pick up lines, and the traditional response would be, “Man you’re one raunchy pirate!”
Depending on the response, I could take anything to “another level”.

I always thought “shiver me timber” was good one.

It is possibly one of 2 meanings… Derived from Evan (meaning Warrior) or the Hebrew Avinoam (Meaning Blessed Father)
Well, if my parents made it up then it can’t possibly have any derived meaning…

It went like this, “Shiver me timber with ye pearly whites ya sultry wench!”

Well mine is quite ordinary, its just a name so it doesn’t mean much.
But “Daniel” means something in Hebrew like “God is my Judge” I think,
“Malus” is more fun, i haven’t meet it many places but I’ve encountered some meanings,
first of its some kind of tree, to my best knowledge.
Malus is also an item in Diablo 2 I think its a great hammer or something i can’t really remember.
The most wicked part is the Latin translation were it means something like sickness or rotten
How punk is that?? :evil: -
Being a Warhammer 40.000 lunativ, it should come as no surprise that I use the name of the Imperium’s most venerated soldier, Commissar Sebastian Yarrick as my WWW handle since the beginning of my web life.
