*Maude*

I know I've heard you called Maude before, but I've gotta know - how did you get that nickname?

  • I was wondering the same thing

  • Ha!

    It's a DH family thing. For some reason, his whole family refers to women as Maude and men as Floyd. So they use the term at family functions when trying to get someone's attention like "Quit eating all the cookies Maude." Or if they're out and about and see a wierdo, they'll be like "Look at that Maude over there."

    The guys use Floyd similarly. I tend to hear it most when they are telling a story about someone, family or not. Like, "Then Floyd dropped his drawers and crapped himself" or something like that, lol.

    I think I mentioned it on the board once before and Lynsey or Renee picked it up and started calling me that.
