Myko is a Frisian is the context there.

Then a week goes by and it goes untouched
Then two, then three, then a month
Then the rest of your life, you beat yourself up

It's true. I was trying to shoehorn the messenger role in somehow, at least to get a conversation started.

+1 to Frisian Shoulder-Deamon. It's a little obscure, but absolutely perfect.

Minor nitpick: demon = malevolent, while daemon (daimon) is a class of beings from Greek myth, many of them actually benevolent. (The Roman version of daemons included the Lares, for example.)

The root of the word is the same, but they mean different things. In this case, you're looking for the
demon
version, not the
daemon
one.


That said, it fits myk.
nth Frisian Shoulder-Demon.

I didn't actually realize they had different meanings outside of the context in which they were used. Huh.

Yeah, no a is better, in that case. (Though it looks slightly less cool.)

Just because he played the scum messenger role far better than anyone I've ever seen. (In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Legacy)

I'd add "don't" to it. I think
don't shoot the messenger
would be funny title.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Mykonian is known for being contrary and somewhat trollish, which is why I like shoulder-demon beyond just the 'scum messenger' bit.

I'd prefer something that refers to his obvious (and ironic) feelings of cultural superiority, but Frisian Shoulder Demon at least sounds pretty cool.

Not quite that many, and even then, most people are trollish in their own way. "Frisian demon" actually suites myk well as far as describing his way of trolling is concerned.

Nominate gorkcat for "
Happy as Fuck
" based on his overall general level of cheerfulness, even when discussing heated matters or interacting with people who have their panties in a wad about nothing. There may be some small part of me which wants this title based on the fucking happy little water droplet in his avatar, but I feel it fits his overall personality and persona on-site as well.

Also, it reminds me of the phrase "dapper as fuck", which I enjoy immensely.

I like the idea, not sure about the title itself though. Got any alternatives?

Vidge. It is totally vidge.

Vig is said by people who don't give a fig about sensible colloquialisms.

At least, I think that's what you are referring to.
