Kombucha2000 Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 I know this subject has been touched on before, but not in a poll. I think "Ace" seems to be popular, but I'd like to see results in a poll form. If you pick other, please state it. Mod edit: This thread was moved to Census Archive (2004) from Just For Fun forum.

KAGU143 Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Just plain A is Okay by me. I used to call myself Ace though, when I went through a very strange phase in 7th or 8th grade. I liked the sound of it and thought it was a good name for me. My parents thought otherwise for some reason. If I were to wear an ace emblem today, it would be the Ace of Hearts. -Greybird Link to post Share on other sites
Live R Perfect Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Yes I LOVE the avatar Verity! :D Nice one Link to post Share on other sites
gypsylady Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 I like "A" just because it's simple and won't cause sexuals to strain their brains too much. I agree Verity - cool avatar :) ! Link to post Share on other sites
anima Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 I like A. However, I'm also not too much into labels. I'm just me. Kinda weird, kinda different, kinda... Well, I'm me. What else can I say? Link to post Share on other sites
Kez Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 'Ace' reminds me of a episode in Red Dwarf. 'Call me Ace. Or Big Guy. And mention that I've had lots of girlfriends.' A is cool by me. Link to post Share on other sites
LonePiper Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Hey!!!!! Where's Floinkpt!?!?!?!?!?!? Damn you all!!! ;) Yeah, I voted other. But seriously, A's pretty good. Link to post Share on other sites
whisper in a crowd Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 I like 'a', but 'ace' also sounds good. Link to post Share on other sites
Gorax Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 ace--can you tell by my avatar? BEST AVATAR EVER :mrgreen: ... I voted "A" though. Link to post Share on other sites
cijay Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 I would go with "don't pigeonhole" but the survery is asking what term I prefer. to have an opionion, I would have to have a preference. So, only because "Floinkpt" isn't on the list :lol: , I chose "A". Link to post Share on other sites
Borrible Cal Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 'A' for me--'Ace' brings spacemen with strange kipper obsessions too much to mind... Borrible Cal. Link to post Share on other sites
winter Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 a. just a. Link to post Share on other sites
158Eyes Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 A. I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be saying I'm ace. But "Floinkpt" is cool, :lol: Link to post Share on other sites
cijay Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 But "Floinkpt" is cool, :lol: I'm a having problem with the last part though. Is it pronounced like a very short way of saying "put", or like at the end of "crept" or is it just a raspberry type sound? Link to post Share on other sites
LonePiper Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 I'm a having problem with the last part though. Is it pronounced like a very short way of saying "put", or like at the end of "crept" or is it just a raspberry type sound? Look, I just invented the word. Am I even supposed to know how to pronounce it!? Jeez! That's just asking too much! ;) Link to post Share on other sites
cijay Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Look, I just invented the word. Am I even supposed to know how to pronounce it!? Jeez! That's just asking too much! ;) Don't be lazy. You invented it, you have to complete it. Never know when it'll end up on Jeopardy or Who Wants to Be A Millionaire. One of us will be on there and we'll loose all the big money because YOU were too lazy to finish the task. It'll be all your fault and we'll loose all our money and you'll have to support us for the rest of our life. Is that what you want? Link to post Share on other sites
JJthe8th Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 I went with non, I think it is just easier for people to understand, some people don't always know what a means. Link to post Share on other sites

It'll be all your fault and we'll loose all our money and you'll have to support us for the rest of our life. Is that what you want? Well if I don't invent a pronunciation, there will be no wrong answer, so there is no problem, since you cannot possibly get the name wrong. And if somebody else invents a pronunciation and one of you gets it wrong on Jeopardy, then it's not my fault! You should have done your research! Link to post Share on other sites
Gorax Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Floinkpt? I'm assuming it would be pronounced floin-kept :P Link to post Share on other sites
Asmodues Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I was talking to a friend of mine about my asexuality, and she coined the term "Celisexual" as a mixture of "Celibate" and "sexual". Her logic was Celibate = no sex, sexual = orientation, the two combining to make an orientation of "Not interested in sex" Link to post Share on other sites
Silly Green Monkey Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Celibate means wanting to have sex but refusing it, so a celisexual is a person who will always want to have sex but refuse. So maybe more like an antisexual? Link to post Share on other sites
Dargon Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines celibacy as the "abstention from sexual intercourse". If one looks further, abstain (root of abstention), is defined as "to refrain deliberately and often with an effort of self-denial from an action or practice." I interpret that is meaning that the action is desired, thus I think Silly Green Monkeys description of celisexual would be accurate. Link to post Share on other sites
Bestatued Head Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I'm not to keen on using nicknames for people, not to mention groups of people. I like to refer to people by their proper name. I'm just boring. Shoot me. Link to post Share on other sites
Kemby Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Hm, I voted for A. Link to post Share on other sites
cait Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I don't know why, but when I think of "Ace" it sounds like some kind of term of offence. Hmm...maybe that would be good in a story... Link to post Share on other sites
