Help[Opinions] Re: Prism
in reply to a message by Princess Kenny
I don't hear "jizzum" at all but "prison" instead, which is really negative to me...gives the impression of being trapped.
I did (briefly) know a woman who used Prism as a trail name, although I think she spelled it Prizm...she was a physician's assistant from Florida, approx 5'1", stout, middle-aged, had a rainbow colored mohawk, and was very, very talkative...friendly, though.
Anyway, no, I don't like it as a name for a person. It would work better for a pet imo.

'jizzum' reminds me of the Chisolm Trail. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chisholm_Trail
As for Prism, I can see it for a hiking trail, but not a person, or a pet, really, unless the story about how you found the pet has to do with a prism.

I think you misunderstood what I meant by trail name...it's like a nick name, not the name of an actual hiking trail.

It's like a NN/alias used by long distance hikers...at least in the US. I think it started on the Appalachian Trail. Usually they're word 'names' which reference something about the hiker's personality or personal history. They're mostly just used to sign trail logs and among other hikers. Some examples...Nimble, Hotshot, Sleepwalker, Argo, Bright Side, Mosey, Awol, Sherpa, Hail Satan, Caribou, Tangy, Rojo, Waffles, Chuckwagon...they're particularly useful when you're meeting a lot of people in a short time period...easier to remember than traditional names.
