Does anyone happen to know why Rudis is called Rudis?
You asked.
The name RUDIS, especially for the wrestling brand, comes from the ancient Roman "rudis," a wooden sword symbolizing a gladiator's freedom and honor, representing the brand's focus on wrestling's warrior spirit, discipline, and raw potential, connecting to the Latin meaning of "rough" or "unrefined" but elevated to a symbol of achievement.

Does anyone happen to know why Dogwelder is called Dogwelder? 😳
You asked.
Key aspects of his name and identity:
  • The Act of Welding: He uses welding equipment to physically fuse dead dogs to people.
  • The "Dog" Element: He uses deceased dogs, often from the streets, as his tools.
  • Origin Story: The first Dogwelder accidentally created the god Anubis by welding a jackal head to a mummy, leading to a curse that manifests in subsequent Dogwelders, including the one who welded his own family dog to his child.

Oh crap. I did not know about that horrible Dogwelder story! I knew of only one Dogwelder, from the historical documents. I disavow the bad-father black sheep! I am with the crime-fighting, good-guy Dogwelders of history. 👍

Google AI:
‘Yes, the English word "rude" comes directly from the Latin word rudis. The Latin adjective rudis meant "rough, crude, unlearned, raw, or untrained". The English word initially carried these senses of being "coarse" or "without finish" … ‘

So bird man AJ Ferrari was not just rudis that day. He was megarudis! 😀

No relation to Megaludis though, they just sound close. 😂

The "crime-fighting, good-guy" Dogwelder isn't a historical figure but a disturbing, darkly comedic DC Comics anti-hero from Garth Ennis's Hitman and Section Eight series, known for welding dead dogs to criminals' faces, acting as a misguided vigilante with a tragic past, but ultimately a bizarre, violent character, not a true hero in the traditional sense.

Hmmm, that might check out a little. I have seen @Dogwelder weld dead ranking justifications to Flo faces in the pass few days with the fervor of a vigilante.

I had to look up that word. Google AI says:

‘In Summary: If a young person uses "mog," they mean someone is dominating visually or socially; if an older person uses it, they might mean "Man of God," showing how slang evolves.’

Hey, I think you are cool, too, Cowbell! 😉😀

Why is the word Abreviation so long?
I use the term “abbre” to abbreviate abbreviate. But since I had to explain it, I lost the time I saved. That’s why you shouldn’t extrapolate when you abbreviate. 😂
