So ah.. I'm a member of many forums. I'm also familiar with many other forums. They all have names for themselves.
SomethingAwful - Goons
An Off-Topic Forum that I am part of, "OTFers."
FARK.com - Farkers
General Mayhem - GenMay - or GayMen.
And so on.
So I was thinking to myself what a member of WBW was. I've decided we're all "Droogs."
This term of course, comes from Clockwork Orange which is a social and political commentary film by Stanley Kubrick - it features lots of crass and sassy raunchy behavior, violence, sex, and an overwhelming presence of high intellect. It's also and international term (or at least not exclusively American and is certainly more central to European culture than to American culture - we never used these terms), and could help represent the diversity of our membership.
Droog means "friend" as far as I can find out, and that sort of works for us I think.
What say you, guys? We be Droogs?
