Raideur Ng Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I'm still waiting for a Krombopulos Kerman. That would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FungusForge Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 If I remember correctly, Kerbal names are generated from a series of parts, and excluding certain real names like Neil and such, what comes out is essentially random gibberish. SQUAD didn't type all the Billy-Bobert's and Jebfrey's into the little name hat. They typed generic name segments in and made a thing to mash them together. Lezzie is just an unfortunate and unanticipated outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anachronicus Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I actually have a female cousin named Lezzie. Yep, it's a real name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legoclone09 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) @RoverDude did say something about naming a Kerbal after a friend, wonder if this is it? Edited May 28, 2016 by legoclone09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aetharan Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Seems to me that it's best to think of it as an alternate spelling of Lessie, which is entirely reasonable to assume of something produced by rolling a few dice and consulting tables for syllables to assemble. Considering that the word I can only assume is the cause for all the outrage also contains an 's' rather than a 'z', it makes perfect sense for the letter substitution to occur (especially in the hurried speech of Kerbals!)

EliasDanger Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) Can't wait for Tranny Kerman to show up next. Though, I'm not sure which bathroom they'd use. Edited May 28, 2016 by EliasDanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kBob Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I have it on good authority the implied meaning is quite different on K (something to do with a mild insult to technical writers who can't keep bad puns out of their writing I believe). So not sure what the problem is, we all left Earth a long time ago didn't we? Thanks for sharing it's very amusing, anyone remember some the strange starting passwords AOL used to send out when trying to get people to sign up (they were two word random combinations)? 34 minutes ago, Laythe Dweller said: I don't get it... Well it's sort of sounds like some slang terms for the L word or more accurately L oriented persons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure Kerbals don't need bathrooms. That "toilet" in the destroyed building is actually a scientific experiment for a novel approach to transporting golf balls, using pipes filled with water! As for the name of the aforementioned Kerbal, I'd leave her be. It's not actually bad like a certain other word the name generator can come up with, it's a real name. And that's better than a lot of what the algorithm cones up with...(seriously, who would name their kid Billy-Bobdorf?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
