Sushi.
I needed a new name to replace 'sioux' as with an increasing number of American friends because of my American family.
(Different culture- appropriation of anything native American is was as racist by many of them.)
I hate being called 'Suzie'. It grates.
Take one very friend.
Add copious amounts of alcohol.
When she tried to tease me by calling me 'Suzie' it came out as 'Sushi'
My new Fetch name was born.....

um
Fetch has kindly dumped this thread to a text file, which, with help from Excel, I have trimmed down to just descriptions and loaded to the article over there -->
I have played a bit with formats, sorted into alphabetic order, and seems 'sub headings' is the cleanest way to display. The standard bold & italics don't seem to work in these articles.
Due to the text file, reasons have been truncated to 245 chars.
If I, or excel, have mangled or lost your explanation, apologies.
Either feel free to correct directly, (name in order, bracketed by ==, ie ==name== and then reason on a new line, or send me fmail with any changes you want)
If you want your name removed, either s above or fmail me.
If I have accidentally broken your phone or display with the volume/size, then apologies.
If you prefer plain text (as before) let me or HappyG(rrr) know and we can re-assess the approach.

puzzler
I missed this thread when it came round so I've been reading back a bit. Thanks for collating.
I hardly ever do puzzles whether jigsaw, crossword or any other kind. My first thought was to use my initials, pzl, but then a line from the Grinch that 'he puzzled and puzzled until his puzzler was sore' popped into my head. I definitely overthink things.
