I also got mocked for explaining that my name means "Manly supplanter/wrongdoer" or, as I like to think of it "Badass motherfucker".
Apparently I do not have the physical presence to carry it off.
I seem to spend a lot of my time being mocked, as it happens.

It's not a popular name. Or, indeed, a good name. I hate it. I did try looking up yours, based on definition, but there are too many variants and I lost interest extremely quickly.

from the Greek "Andros". My middle name is James, if you're interested. I believe that's Hebrew.

Based on the "supplanter" part. Well done there. Two decent names. You have my envy.

I have different grades of waterproofing to suit different moisture levels.
For example, for mild precipitation I favour the lightweight 'Peter Storm' brand, found in most top-end branches of 'Milletts' - for the more advanced conditions I tend to plump for waders. Where do you stand on this issue? And Vippers, what say you?

I'm guessing a 'group' is where a bunch of tossers all sign up to 'I think teh NOTW is bad LOL' and then they all hang around in it agreeing with each other. But this is a guess.

The funniest ones are the racist groups who ban anyone who disagree with them about how it's all the immigrants fault. And they get really upset if you criticise their spelling.

These groups are a forum for philosophical discussion. The standards of intellectual debating are closely monitored and rigorously maintained. If the mods feel the standard is slipping the worst offenders are ejected, for the intellectual betterment of all.

Obviously my general demeanour just screams "hard case" so most people don't bother working out the etymology
