Yeah no way hose. Changing the name here would be admitting to myself that it was a stupid nickname back then. I mean, i know it was a stupid nickname but admitting it is a step too far.
May I mention that "hose" most likely should be "Jose" spoken with a Spanish pronunciation?
I love seeing when folks type out an idiom they've only ever spoken and you get weird quirks like this. Language is fun
The epittamy of fun, you might say
May I mention that I've never heard "Jose" spoken without a Spanish pronunciation? Does anyone say it to rhyme with chose or dose?
Interesting. I thought he was trying to say No way, Hoss.
Yeah and it's not like you won't think your new original cool username is fresh af for more that 2 weeks. You'll look back and it will be equally cringy as the old one but now you have to live with the shame that you tried to be more creative.
