>You see where I'm going with this? Don't mess with me, my origins don't seem entirely pleasant.

When misunderstood in language other than original, they surely sound so.

>You have quite a handle yourself...my guess there is some Yugoslav in there although, that's where I stop... wouldn't want to label a Croat a Serb, or the other way around... it hurts-my-govina!

Ah, I'm more lucky then. The worst I got was "needlequitch" and "don't worry, we got Dragan working on your problem" and the poor user thinking "they have a dragon of a programmer fixing our stuff" :). No bad nicknames came out of that. Even if they did, in our tradition you don't care what nick you earn, you wear it proudly and daringly. If you complain, it only gets worse, if you accept it and help others making fun, it isn't fun anymore and you're left in peace.
