If you don't mind me asking, why did you pick that name?
No offense taken, and no I don't mind you asking. The word never offended me, but then again, I have a different outlook on certain 'words' that some consider offensive. That a different thread though . In some contexts it's offensive, in others it's not. For those that may want some history on the word:
