haha, i did replied to the very same question asked by atothex in the "Show Me Your ThunderPantses!" thread, it's something to do with my nickname during university time and the way how they pronounce it in my place, so I did carry on using it..

hope you don't mind..

opps, thought that when you say why "butt?" , then i just give the reason why i'm using it..

my bad..

I had a fellow named Butt working for me at one time. Great lab tech.

He moved on to Hollywood.

And changed his name.

It's been years ago now. From time to time I look in the IMDB (for the new name) but I don't see it. Maybe one day he'll turn up on Facebook or something.

maybe he died. from butt cancer.

haha, do you think i need to change my name?

kinda creepy to see the name "butt" paired up with "cancer"..

that explain why i seems can't log in to the forum..

been trying hard to log since this evening and got the error message, and end up just browsing it as non-member, then i saw your last post.

butte should be okay with me, thanks anyway..

maybe i'm not qualified to say this as me myself also very new to this head-case, but i totally don't understand what is the biggest problem for other newly joined member to read the welcome PM and actually understand it.

The reason is that most people are remarkably stupid.

or they're trolling.

Lots of overlap there.

I'm not a troll; I'm you.

I don't know, butte with the "e" reminds me of a faux hugh end butt. Kind of like "Shoppe" is a title to just alow a Shop to charge more for its wares.

How about "buttseks"?

Merrick's Butte in Monument Valley, Utah

A butte (pronounced /ˈbjuːt/) is a conspicuous isolated hill with steep, often vertical sides and a small, relatively flat top; it is smaller than mesas, plateaus, and tables. In some regions, such as the north central and northwestern United States, the word is used for any hill. The word "butte" comes from a French word meaning "small hill"; its use is prevalent in the western United States, including the southwest, where "mesa" is also used. Because of their distinctive shapes, buttes are frequently key landmarks in both plains and mountainous areas.

In differentiating mesas and buttes, geographers use the rule that a mesa has a top wider than its height, while a butte's top is narrower.[1]

Three classic buttes are Scotts Bluff (actually a collection of five bluffs) in Nebraska, Crested Butte in Colorado, and Elephant Butte in New Mexico.

Among the well-known non-flat-topped buttes in the United States are Bear Butte, South Dakota, and Black Butte, Oregon. In many cases, buttes have been given other names that do not use the word "butte", for example, Courthouse Rock, Nebraska. Also, some large hills that are technically not buttes have names using "butte", an example of which is Kamiak Butte in Washington State.

[edit] Formation

Buttes are formed by erosion when hard caprock covers a layer of softer rock that is eventually worn away. The hard rock thus avoids erosion. On a much smaller scale, the same process forms hoodoos.

And...?

Guys, it's obviously a bit of a culture clash here -- I'll have to admit that despite Jacob's objections, I am curious why your friends in school would nickname you "butt" -- obviously it means something different than what it means here. (Feel free to keep the pronunciation part as a separate part of the story, I think most of us understand that part.)

Cool! May I have my nick changed to Penelopez?

LOLZ, I was afraid you'd do it

I'm curious, how do you pronounce butte in English? I bet most English speakers would have trouble with the French pronunciation.

I thought it was pronounced "beaut".

And lol@ Penelopez.

The discussion reminds me of a guy that lived on the same floor at the college. His name was Phuc.

I used to work with a guy named Moy Huj. I found this to be very funny. In Russian Moy Huj (phonetically pronounced) means My Dick.

yeah, definitely culture clash..

while i'll keep the story on why i've been nicknamed "butt" or "butte", i'll tell you about a word in Japanese that means something else but in my place it's totally different thing.

"kou tei" in Japanese if i'm not mistaken means "rigid" or "set", but in my place it does refer to "DICK"..how's that? wicked!!
