Help[Opinions] Re: Hroðgar
in reply to a message by Ottilie
Hrothgar sounds like "wroth gar" to me.
"Gar" (according to the urban dictionary) is sometimes used as a slang term meaning:
1. To have a mancrush on someone.
2. Something incredibly manly.
As in, "I am so gar for Archer." or "Archer is so gar."
(Also, because I'm a nerd, I know gar means spear.)
So I look at Hroðgar and see "angry manliness" and/or "angry spear", and because of that my reaction is: it tries too hard to be macho and is probably overcompensating for something.
Roger is more mainstream and multifaceted.
