I came across a site called ukBouldering. There is a topic there on DD. Many of those who have DD discuss their disease. The site is http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/....html#msg96738.

"Hi Wanker"

Sorry to be so light hearted on a serious forum but that login has an unusual meaning in the UK. It's generally an insult but seems quite amusing used in this context. May one ask where you're from Mr W?

Yes, I hail from sunny California. I am lucky to have two fine NA docs here now. I am also very happy to see this fine forum turning into sucess. I lift my glass in a toast to Randy for his efforts to direct folks here from the BioSpecifics forum to here.

Wanker is a name I settled on in BioSpecifics because so many lamers were using the names of the regular contributors to post false comments. I went through many names, but no one wanted to copy this one.

That login in the UK would be unacceptable but words mean different things to different people in different parts of the world don't they?

It does make me chuckle though

In the sitcom Married... with Children, the character Peggy's maiden name is Wanker; Al Bundy's in-laws are therefore the Wankers. These Wankers resided in Wanker County.
