Just found this post. I think by now most know what my name means but here it is again. I am getting this degree because I have to have one to get a decent job. The old adage of a degree in basket weaving seemed to fit because I chose the easiest route in "Liberal Studies"; thus Basket Weaver. Lee
Shotojoku,
I just read your name's meaning and was surprised to see you study/teach Karate. I lived in Japan for 15 years and was the first American in my dojo. My sensei was the #2 man in the world in our style and we tested in front of the top 5 to get promoted; it was an honor every time. This was in Okinawa and I studied Shurite for years there. My wife is also Japanese and my son, well he's half  . My Sensai really wanted me to teach and even let me use his Dojo's name but I could never find a student who would stick with it, the conditioning can be a bit rough for the first several months. Just thought I'd pass that along. Lee

When my granddaughters were little, they lived in Chicago. When I talked to my daughter on the phone, she would tell them,"it is Papa in Georgia". They just shortened it to Papa Georgia.
It is a great nickname when you consider what they call their other grandfather. Ever time they saw him, he had his little dog with him. His name is "Papa Dog".

I thought maybe it related to the Vegas Vacation movie. Nick Poppogeorgio is Chevy Chase's son Rusty's alias in the movie. It's a great movie.

ShotoJuku Wrote:[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Navy"]I picked this up from another thread regarding the various nicknames that we use here in the IC Forums so I thought I would elaborate on mine - ShotoJuku.
To begin, I have been studying/teaching Japanese ShotoKan Karatedo since 1971. The founder of Shotokan - Gichin Funakoshi used the pen name of "Shoto" meaning "Pine Waves" and his style was subsequently called Shoto-Kan.
I use a derivative of ShotoKan retaining Shoto but added Juku meaning "special or private school" thus - ShotoJuku.
More on this and other useless knowledge can be found at my website - http://www.SKJF.com .
How about some of the other nicknames out there????[/COLOR][/SIZE]
That's very interesting. My name "bongsau" is actually two words in Cantonese "Bong Sau." It means Wing Arm -- it's a movement in Wing Chun Kung Fu, which I have been teaching/studying for over a decade. It would appear that our arts have left a substantial impact on us, as we have choses such names with which to associate ourselves.

Well, let's see....my name is Matt. I'm 30 yrs old. Growing up, my absolute favorite cartoon/kids show was the Transformers. To this day, it's still my favorite. My favorite character was Optimus Prime....one day my friend Jen started calling me Matymus Prime....and it stuck. Sometimes it's just Matymus for short.

I chose my user name because I love the Anne of Green Gables series...I have a best friend (or bosom friend for you other Anne fiends!) that has dark hair, I have red hair. We read the books together and viola! I was Anne, she was Diana. 15 years later we are going to PEI together to see Anne's house and island!!
(We always thought it would be fun to take "Fred and Gilbert" along but Gil is still out there searching for me!!hilarious So we are leaving Fred and going ourselves!)
