MetaFilter

What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

jessamyn - MetaFilter can best be described as slightly hostile to nearly everything, except for the few things it is entirely hostile towards. And then there are pancakes and kittens.

I had a lot of fun creating word clouds for people in this thread. As suggested, here are my word cloud(s) below. Also, if you can get cortex to create your word frequency list I can still create word clouds for any members who are interested.


Words I use heavily that (practically) no one else does:
memri, benitostrauss, 1-d, meany, db8, keepon, vassal, chon, hameau, mapmaker, hapax, chick-fil-a, nomyte, crucanti, nomogram, legomenon, physicsmatt, kristine, hilbert, pngview

More common words I use much more than anyone else:
knotted, benito, fenway, haskell, baptism, lambda, universals, esperanto, allston, concierge, pulleys, madcaptenor, flatland, clade, baptisms, good-bye, kristol, hunh, gaffes, multiplies
