Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
What is the origin of the name Bodie? The only two Bodies I have every heard of are this one on the Wire and the Dawson's Creek character of Joey's sister's babydaddy.
It's the last name of one of the characters on "The Professionals," a British cop series of the early 80s that's much beloved by slash fandom. Which is no help on the origin question.
Bodie Miller? The skier?
I figured it was a version of Bodhi.
My sister had her first ever school lockdown yesterday because of this: [link]
I'm not making light of the incident, but the photo (and caption) with the article made me laugh. "A car people said was involved in...." Like, the newspaper doesn't even have official word that that was really the car where the woman was attacked, so they just took a picture of a car that Larry the Counter Clerk said that his cousin's dogwalker's niece said was the car....
Bodie
Also, son of Edward James Olmos.
Wow- That is way more Bodie's than I have ever heard of! Interesting.
That's right.
It's like the Fay Internet Effect, without the internet!
Bode Miller - I had always assumed it was a last name, given as a first.
Like we have Murray LastNames in our family - where Murray had been a mother or grandmother's maiden name.
OMGWTFBBQ. I apparently am incapable of writing a scholarly personal statement. I used to be able to write them, but now? Not so much. I'm applying to a NEH summer session on Chaucer to spend a month in England, and I have to write about why these amazing Chaucerian scholars should pick me over other teachers. I cannot stop writing in cliches. It's utterly pathetic.
