His current name on here is Joel Ericson and he wants to change it to monger. Smelling a possible rat I looked it up on urbandictionary.com and it says....
1) Short for whoremonger, i.e., one who frequents whores and prostitutes. 2) One who makes love to a corpse and then consumes the excriments from the dead body.
Anyone know a legit reason for a username of monger?
<edit> It's Honger, not Monger. Honger seems to be benign so I'll approve it

Maybe play dumb and ask him casually what the new user name means...

I know that monger is used in some benign connotations, such as fishmonger (I guess someone who sells or distributes fish).
But I just looked at his request and he's got it as Honger. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

From Wikipedia:
US Slang - Honger (North America) a person from Hong Kong
Canadian Slang - honger ù Derogatory name for immigrants from Hong Kong used by Mandarin-speaking and Canadianized Chinese.
Other - some Dutch term (translates to hunger?)
Other - some book from a Dutch writer...
I'm intrigued now <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> .

This is what I received this morning: Randy, When I registered here way back, I just used my real name as my display name. Since then, every other forum I've reged on I use Honger. Honger is a name from back in high school... a buddy and I called each other Hongers as a made-up word meant to portray our masculinity. Don't use the name that much anymore, its just stuck as my defacto screenname.
Thanks for changing it for me. In the interest of uniformity, I thought I'd change it.
Regards, Joel
