Curious - who are we?

[bumbalina]

You may have touched on this in the past - but are we called ED-ites? ED-ians? ED-ish?

[snorky]

invaders

[CrystalClear]

I've always gone with dulites, but I'm quite liking ED-ish!

[mockney piers]

Is that eedeeish (almost rhymes with seediest) or edish (rhymes with reddish)?

Except you snorky, as an original Dulite you can forshorten it to Dul ;-P word

[CrystalClear]

could it, indeed should it not, be edeeeish?

[James]

The Dulwish. As in the Amish.

[Huguenot]

It has been suggested that some of the forumites should technically be known as recidivists.

Didn't Snorky first crop up as one of the first individuals encountered in the land of the Houyhnhnms in the Swifitan dystopia "Gulliver's Travels"..? They had a name didn't they?

However this may involve a crisis in the pre-frontal cortex, an area implicated in planning complex cognitive behaviors, personality expression and moderating appropriate social behavior. One may find Dullard a handy moniker for this crazy bunch ;-), although I couldn't possibly comment.

For the rest of us I quite like Edish to rhyme with Swedish rather than reddish, because it's easier to say and of course the Swedish are a good looking nation...

[Huguenot]

I'm offended by my own use of the word 'Snorky' in that post. Erm.. I mean 'crazy', no, ah, oh dear, blast...

Bit of a lazy national stereotype isn't it? I'm sure they have as good a percentage of uglies as most other nations.

[mockney piers]

Are you insinuating that snorky is in some way a yahoo? Surely a google no?

Eedish does sound a bit like eedjit though

[CrystalClear]

I dunno capt'n, a quick image search for sweedish, and (one of many possibilities I admit) you get this

Very pretty, I'm sure you'll agree.

British however...

Hey guess who? I am staying at Bumbalina's and H's house.

I have heard tell of Dulwich ladies being called the Dull Witches... (yuppie mums and all that - not that it't TRUE or anything)

[capt_birdseye]

A picture speaks a thousand words.

[Huguenot]

That's a particularly nice looking cross-section

[capt_birdseye]

Do you think the guy in the middle is a vicar?

[bumbalina]

Perhaps with East Dulwich becoming so "cutting edge" with all the posh shops, we should be The Dul-swish.

[CrystalClear]

I think it's all in the jeans.....

I'll get me coat.

Going back to Lodger's comments (and I admit, this is *pretty* poor), east dulwich can become - assuming I can use puncuation - u stale wich :D

[capt_birdseye]

please stop!

[mockney piers]

Tumbleweed indeed for the former, but i'm a bit stumped on the latter CC

more swedes

 

[CrystalClear]

yes, I think it might be home time soon!

I was taking a new approach, ':east Dulwich' as an anagram - that's the best I've been able to do, not that I've spent long on it or anything. I haven't. The random capitalisation was a bit of a let down, there must be something it can be turned into!

[mockney piers]

Wates U Child?

[CrystalClear]

Well, that's a far, far better attempt then mine. Have now managed 'lads with cue' but there are no pool tables in ED, so we can't be having that.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Now now, you know you can play pool if you visit the Castle or the Plough - you just don't WANT to
