soc_puppet: Words "Humorless Feminist" in pink (Humorless Feminist)
I like to tell a type of joke that I call the Middle Name joke (or a My Middle Name/My Middle Name Is joke). It's based on the humor trope where a character claims to be so uniquely suited for something that their middle name has to do with that thing (or even is that thing). The idea is that you describe your hypothetical/imaginary middle name in a way that is defined by said name. For example:

My middle name is Over-Doing It. My other two middle names are Over-Doing It and Over-Doing It.

I've been thinking about changing my middle name to Indecisive, but I haven't made up my mind yet.

I was going to change my last name to Procrastination, but I decided I'd rather do it later. (It was going to be my middle name, but I put it off until the end.)

[/examples]


I'm still trying to come up with a good one for "my middle name is Awkward", but I'm pretty sure it'll end in faux shame-faced stammering and a pronouncement that I will now go hide forever.

Anyone care to add to my list? :D?
