...Relating to CptCoatHanger.

I often have a problem translating abbreviations, acronyms and that kind of thing. For ages, my brain just couldn't think of the word captain when I saw Cpt.

I asked myself what is this 'Cpt?' Now because the second part of his name is coat hanger, I would think, "what else relates to my house that could be cpt?" My brain turned it into 'carpet'. I still in my head call CptCoatHanger 'carpet coat hanger' and the other day said it out loud in thesite towers which left Jo in a fit of giggles.

Dear oh dear.

    HELEN YOU SHOULD CHANGE HIS USER TITLE TO 'Carpet' or something.

    Bizarre, but I was also thinking about this the other day when I saw one of his posts. I too thought carpet, but also caput.

    Yes. Mods aren't allowed to be wrong, so she has an obligation to change his name and make herself right. It's the law.

    Cpt is the standard abbreviation for Captain.

    I can't decide if I love that I'm not as stupid as I thought or am a bit disappointed that I'm not as original as I thought :p
