Call me Gene
His Lordship:
This is why I have all my friends call me Gene and not Eugene.
Eugene comes from the word eugenics. BAD!
And when associated with nazi eugenics, it's even worse.
Basically, Eugenics is basically "racial hygiene" - only allowing people with desirable traits to pass on their genes in order to breed a better race.
It is the ultimate discrimination, because it discriminated agains almost everything: race, intelligence, sexual orientation, physical appearance, personality, age, and more.
So in a nutshell, I thought I'd request people call me Gene and not Eugene so I can avoid the Nazi connotations.
Pyroclastic0:
Are you sure now?
You used to think it was a woman's name
His Lordship:
It's better to have a vagina than to be a neo-Nazi.
Espen___11:
Alright, Gene.
Even though I like the name Eugene better then Gene
Mickey:
It's not as bad as Elias at least.
I've been calling you Gene for years anyway :P
