'Heart Of Gold'
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Yeah, but it'll still be cool for Natter 27.
You do have a point. Especially since 27 has, like, no cool numerical relations. 'cept for being three cubed.
I think the most apt alphabet reference has been "From Absurd to Zeitgeist." Cause damn, dude. Natter in a nutshell.
Zed is a redneck? Isn't it a British thing?
(I feel so ignant.)
Punning the thread number is so over.
Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead.

Zed, as I understand it, is a common name in redneck territory. It is not a common name in Britain (or Australia), where it is used to refer to a letter.
See, to me Zed is a Baptist Southern Mountain Man name, but not really a redneck name. Rednecks are named, like, Leroy or Earl or Bud.
I'm not crazy about thread titles that need to be explained, but that's me.

Hmmm. I come from a long line of rednecks, and I've never heard of it as a redneck name. Or a name at all, really, Pulp Fiction notwithstanding. (I figured it was just a weird Movie Thing, like naming someone Uncle Void. And I have a friend with an Uncle Void, so that wasn't a non sequitur.)

I knew that; I guess I didn't clarify that in my last post. I didn't think it was a name at all, whereas I've heard the word used in England (though to designate the letter Z).
To me, Zed is a mechanic who owns a small auto repair shop in a small town or rural area.
I have no idea how that association got into my brain.
I had forgotten about the "Z = Zed" thing until it was explained.
Jeez. Original COMM.
