​​@@RFC3514 That's better than me and my mate. Our mains who have been with us since late vanilla-early TBC are a dwarf paladin named Maceholder and a dwarf hunter named Dwaarfie (the extra "A" comes from me being Norwegian, 10, and figuring that with "dwarf" being pronounced how it was - the "A" sounding like the Norwegian "Å" - you needed the double "A"s). At least my mate's name actually works _perfectly_ as a dwarven surname, funnily enough, and I've since created a backstory for Dwaarfie where his name is a nickname given by the night elves of Ashenvale, as it's become far to nostalgic and rather iconic to us to ever change it. I used to do the language thing with my pets though, when I didn't go the _Nounverber_ route.

Every time I read "Contains strong language" on the back of a DVD/Bluray, I can't help but laugh to myself thinking about the time Kenny Everett derailed TV-AM by shouting "BUM!"

Regarding the intro, there is a serial killer that sounds like a DUCK in the Lucio Fulci film 'The New York Ripper' He doesn't always sound like a duck, I think it's only when he kills people or wants to freak them out. But still, that's a thing that exists.
