When I play live Dominion with my friends, we come up with all kinds of goofy nicknames for the cards, and I'm curious to see if anyone else has any. Here are some of the ones we use.
The earliest one we had that I remember was for Wharf. Whenever my friend would play it he would say "wharf to the bridge." I thought that was awesome and that's how I got my isotropic username.
Smugglers is always "snugglers."
Spy is always pronounced "spee."
Pearl diver is affectionately referred to as "muff diver."
When Cornucopia first came out, I got Horse Traders and Hunting Party confused, so I kept calling Horse Traders "Horse Party." Eventually that name stuck and so now we just always call it Horse Party.
One I thought of recently that I really like is calling Menagerie "Nicki Menagerie." I'm thinking of changing my username to this. It's the kind of username that would make me laugh every time I see it, like "BarneyRabble" or "occupy grand market."
Over the weekend my friends and I got to play with Hinterlands for the first time, and got to start renaming those cards. Highway is played by saying "Life is a highway," in reference to the Tom Cochrane song, Spice Merchant is now "Spice Girls," and Crossroads is usually announced by saying "See you at the crossroads," in reference to the Bone Thugz n Harmony song.
Does anyone else have any goofy nicknames like these?
