What does your Paizo handle mean?

[Ausk Valrosh]

I'm just waiting for The Roc to show up.

[Ausk Valrosh]

Oh and mine is just because he was my first pathfinder character and my pic is because I really like wizards and Azaven is pretty wizardy

[HeHateMe]

My name comes from a pro football player maybe a decade ago, Rod Smart. He had kind of a public beef with the team's owner, so he changed the name on the back of his jersey from "Smart" to "He Hate Me". I thought that was awesome so I've been using it ever since.

[The Daring Dragoon]

Mine is one of Bruce Campbell's great characters. I mean I could go with my first PC's name but then that would be Crom Axekill... You see he was this awesome fighter who used his axe to kill bad guys and I was nine years old.

[DebugAMP]

Mine is a nickname I had back in high school programming class, plus my initials. Fairly unique combination that seems to work everywhere.

[Salty Barbarian]

I come from an allegedly uncivilized non-Latin/Greek culture and do not speak either of those languages and I'm bitter as hell towards the militarized, record-keeping snobs.

EDIT: As for the avatar, I was looking thru the avatars categorized 'barbarian' and happened to notice this one had what looks basically like an actual spangenhelm. It fit too well for me to pass up.

[Captain Yesterday's Skeleton]

Don't pick door number 3

I did.

[RDM42]

Rdm42 is a rather mundane combination of initials and Douglas Adams..

arssanguinus is one of many forms of my most common screen name or identity - 'art in the blood' from Sherlock Holmes 'Art in the blood is liable to take the strangest forms.'

My 'dog latin' mare that into arssanguinus. I realize that's probably wrong. If someone knows Latin, I'd be curious to see what a proper latinization of "Art in the blood' would be.

[Aniuś the Talewise]

I don't know Latin (barbarian lol) but I can tell you that I read that as Old English ars (means exactly what it looks like, happens to be one of the oldest words in the english language) + sanguine + us.

---

However with my knowledge of indo-european languages in general (as a scholar of Old English, not Latin) I can slap together the phrase for you with as correct grammar as I can manage just knowing how grammar works.

All I need to know is the sense of "art" in your sentence and I can attempt to translate the phrase. Do you mean art as in skill, or in the pictorial craft? There are many senses for art.

EDIT: Ok I looked up the background of the quote and it seems to be talking about being related to artists, as in, painters, so I'll try to work with that.

[Aniuś the Talewise]

Reminding once again that although I am a linguist who studies Anglo-Saxon and the history of Germanic languages and so I understand how grammar works, I do not study Latin so this is the best I can do with the knowledge I have.

'art' --> ars, the creative skill. This is a feminine noun.
'in' --> intrā, within. This preposition uses the accusative.
'blood' --> sanguis --> accusative sanguinem

ars intrā sanguinem

Alternatively I could translate

in --> 'in', that uses the ablative in the spatial sense, which gives

ars in sanguine

I don't know which is more natural in Latin. Again, I do not actually study the language, I just know how grammar works. I hope this helps.

I still cannot help but read it as Anglo-Saxon ars, because I'm twelve. teehee.

It never ceases to amaze me that in mundane life you can go decades without ever meeting a linguist, but if you hang around serious sf&f or gaming circles they're everywhere.

(My degree is in Linguistics, but I do not consider myself a linguist, because I have never actually worked in the field.)

nerds of a feather flock together.

(I consider myself a linguist by virtue of the fact that i study linguistics. whether I work in the field or not is irrelevant)

[Goth Guru]

King of the Hill is not an accurate depiction of substitute teachers.
If you passed all the courses in linguistics, then you are a linguist.

[thegreenteagamer]

I'm quite the cunning linguist.

...or so my wife tells me.

:-D

[The Green Tea Gamer]

Goodnight everybody!

Don't hate me. If I didn't say that line, somebody would have.

[Aniuś the Talewise]

I"m just surprised I didn't see that coming.

EDIT: Oh goddamnit that's what she said

[Serghar Cromwell]

It's the name of my first Dark Heresy character, who is somehow still alive after over a year of sessions. He's a tech priest who, after a while, wound up being built like a refrigerator. He uses four mining drills in combat, which are also power weapons because my GM let me cannibalize a bunch of power swords. The info on my profile is all his, so if anyone's ever looked at it, note that I don't actually weigh nearly 600 pounds.

[Use Headbutt!!]

Well obviously my username is a reference to an obscure ....well pretty much a story from every major form of media ever. My favorites:

[Skyrim Rampage Cap'n Yesterday]

I wonder what the wizard orb under Saarath is?

Also would it kill them to put less stupid puzzles in the game.

I miss rampaging against The Enclave and their black power armor wannabe D-Bags, to say nothing of the baker's dozen of Mininukes I dropped on the alien spaceship, the best was when I opened the door to the bridge and launched one right in the alien captains lap :-)

Rampageth!!

D'oh! Wrong thread! Well that will just have to do, I'm not typing it twice:-)
