Now that we've had time for this year's pairings to sink in, the next logical step would be (of course!) to start creating the inevitable pseudonyms!

Here are my offerings:

Brulu
Jalex
Anancy
Robita
Vedwina
Hollart
Chelpas

Dankat
Robola
Flussel
Naudley
Jakris
Haliona
Erinory

I know, some are not bad and some are downright rubbish - hence why I now open the floor to my fellow DS'ers!!!

There was an earlier thread on this subject, but I've mislaid it. Anyway, some neologisms (I think that would be the correct term) have already been coined - The Hartem or ♥'em (love it, allgrownup!) appreciation thread has been up and running since Saturday, while Robin and Anita have already decided on Team Dobbin, according to Robin's tweets and Facebook status.

Yes, the ones so far are:

Team Hart'em
Team Dobbin (used by Robin on Twitter)
Team Savola (used by Robbie on Twitter)

Not sure what Robin's up to - does he not know Dobbin was a carthorse?

Well, any old horse really, not necessarily just a carthorse. Maybe a thoroughbred? Or maybe just a self-deprecating joke that will stand them in good stead?

Hmmm....

Some quick translations:

Brulu A new type of coffee - especially for the smallest room.
Jalex Industrial disinfectant
Anancy Town in France
Robita Health food - often seen at Wimbledon
Vedwina New sort of processed cheese.
Hollart Flat, uninspiring and unintelligible paintings.
Chelpas Mexican pancake.

Dankat domestic animal repellent for gardens.
Robola New on line gambling site.
Flussel Tinned milk - of marine orrigin.
Naudley village in the West Midlands
Jakris No. 1 this week in Delhi!
Haliona Condition of the mouth, throat and hair
Erinory A place to keep your erins.

Just my 2p.

JJ

Now if he were paired with La Dell'olio, from what I've seen, it would be quite appropriate!!!


Really?? Didn't see that at all!


Love it!!!

These are some of the ones from other threads (including some of my own)

Hartem
Nanton
Palsee/Chesha
Dobbin
Julani
Lundan
Donoff
Rorin
Vin da Currie
Kan Lobb
Orderly
Cacace-ing Stars
Rola


PS: Harry is with Aliona and Dan with Katya

EDIT: love that Anita & Robin are using Dobbin - that was one of my suggestions

Hope so. Because Anita may not like the horse reference or the old reference.

Flavant (for Russell and Flavia). [already being used on DS, Twitter and Facebook.]

sounds like something you rub on a groin strain

That's where his mind is focussed most of the time.

OK - lets try some more "stream of consciousness" stuff: -

Hartem Town in the centre of Holland
Nanton Town on the Cote d'Azur
Palsee/Chesha Very old disease - very unlikely cure!
Dobbin Allways and forever? Giddy-up, Dobbin!!
Julani A bored game 9and I do mean bored)
Lundan Capital city for dyslexics.
Donoff Vodka popular in south Lundan.
Rorin Ancient warrior of no fixed abode but high volume.
Vin da Currie Been laid down for far too long.
Kan Lobb Somebody's porn star name.
Orderly And why not!
Cacace-ing Stars Lighting up the sky!!! See them cacace!!
Rola Very heave Round toffees

I'll get me coat!!
