    do you like to think your username is pronounced “rhee-ri”, or “rhow-eh-reh”. People ask me about the pronunciation of mine sometimes and just made me question how you think yours…?

      It’s “Rory,” but I’d never thought it could be pronounced any other way until now. Lol.

      I’d imagine yours is pronounced: “Dah-suse”?

        “Rory"

        Yeah okay that’s a simpler way of writing the latter way, then way I thought it probably would be.

        Dah-sus is more or less how I imagined it originally yes. Like the “da” from “da man” as in “the” and the “sus” not from the phenomena a few years ago where everything was “sus”, but from the Finnish word for wolf, “susi”.

        I know it’s cringe but it was like 2002 when I came up with it.

        And I’ve had friends go “deyh-sus” “deissus”, sort of, and I’m comfortable with it, but it’s not like how I meant it.

        Rory… Amy relation? (Pun intended.) (so bad-ass btw)

          Love Doctor Who, love Rory, but no. No relation. It’s just a name. Boring, but the truth.

            His completely unabashed boring-ness is what makes him so bad-ass. I bet you’d wait a thousand years for your loved one as well, you bad-ass.
