Ok, I've been a little haphazard in my posting over the past month, what
with the issues with Comcast (grrrrr.. still hate 'em) but all seems to
be fixed now. Well.. all except I can't get my mail server set up right,
but that's a whole 'nuther issue.
What is this I see? A newbie here using my name? Please be advised that
your old (relatively) much loved (hint, hint) Goomba is the one still on
Comcast. Not this <flips hair back off shoulders in a snit> other goomba.
Okay, rant mode off.
Goomba.. the original one

Would you prefer me to become goombah, another spelling of the word, or
simply defer to your obvious preexistance in the group as a member of high
esteem and great respect? My fervent hope is that we all make love, not war.

Truthfully, I'll accept that you're new and had no idea. A deja search
on you shows you've been in existence such a short while. Why don't you

Unfortunately, just adding a P doesn't clear up the confusion for me. The
original Goomba has been around for quite a long time. Would you consider
using an entirely different name? I think Paisano is fine. Prego.

Not good enough. You offered to defer and began your post above with
"Very well." Why not post as Paisano? There's no one here who posts
with anything resembling that, unlike our revered, respected, and
redoubtable Goomba38 -- who signs posts with Goomba.

There's only one Goomba and I regret to inform you that you're not the
one.

Before you allow them to bully you into a name of their choosing, I suggest
quiet comtemplation and select a name that has a meaning to you. Say the
Italian Stallion or perhaps your grandfathers middle name. Or your favorite
cartoon character.

ok, this more like RFC that I know. Somebody's always p.o'ed about

Goombah is exclusively masculine.

Oxford

goombah

noun

N. Amer. informal an associate or accomplice, especially a senior member of a
criminal gang.

€”ORIGIN 1960s: probably a dialect alteration of Italian compÃ*re 'godfather,

Ahah! Finally someone spoke to the point (which I tactfully avoided) in
discussing this matter with Goomba. I had no idea whether Goomba was a s/he
and thought that I'd avoid the question, although the nature of Goomba's
replies certainly sounded like feminine. Yes, Goomba is only used for males,
but if she likes let her enjoy the fantasy.

Well Shel, you've seen my picture. LOL. Maybe I am male! Maybe I
deliberately chose to remain neutral (neutered?) online? Who knows
But it is also an "endearment" used along the lines of "Hey goofball!"..
Goomba was something my father called all of us. Just don't mistake me

Heck, I'm not po'd about it. I was merely commentating, Steve. :-0)
He offered to defer to Goomba38's "obvious preexistance in the group"
and Goomba then offered up the suggestion of Paisano. And he
continued to use Goomba. Shoot, if he had no intention of abandoning
the Goomba handle in any form, he should've just said so straight up.
