My user name is actually something my first wife , but g/f at the time called me, because I acted like a wolf ( her words, I was aggressive, competitive, carnal, dangerous, wild etc, like most male late teens ), but, she controlled my bell, could turn me into a salivating puppy totally reliant on her for my needs. I used the name as a video game character name that we played together, and since then I've used it for about everything game or internet because it's different enough, and I'm used to typing it. The variation on that was is Wolf68, the wolf, and then 68 from the 6.8 caliber. I know it's corny, but she was in high school and I was in college at the time. I'm so used to it I can't change it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Do you know the difference between lawyer and an attorney? A lawyer is someone who has studied the law and an attorney is someone who is licensed to practice law. However, in the United States both are used interchangeably. #93 Never heard that definition, might be unique to the US. Normally the term "attorney" is used to refer to a legal agent - in the sense of "legally-appointed agent", not "agent who is legally qualified". "Lawyer", however, is universally accepted as a posh way of saying "bastard"  |

"Esquire" is also the name for a model of Fender guitar. It is one of the first, if not the first, models produced by Fender and was the predecessor to the Telecaster. With only the single bridge pickup, the Esquire "boom chicka boom" sound was made famous on early Johnny Cash recordings such as "I Walk the Line" and "Orange Blosoom Special" where Luther Perkins played the Esquire.
Segue to another comment: A guy calls up a state Board of Attorney Discipline (BAD) to complain. The guy tells the BAD help line that he saw a "store front lawyer" (SFL) and gave him $500 to make out a will. The SFL told the guy to come back in a week and pick the will up. When the guy went back, the SFL office was empty and deserted, The BAD help line person asks what the SFL's name was and the guy says, "I don't remember his first or middle names, but his last name was 'Esquire'". |

Quote HistoryQuoted: In the UK it is used when formally addressing any male that doesn't have a real title. Improperly, though. It should only be applied by virtue of title or certain professions. Mind you, even the Palace now use it for everyone, so it's all a bit diluted. Thus dieth traditions On a vaguely related note, my local water company went through a period of sending me letters addressed to "Lord Rogue_UK". I kept writing back, thanking them for upgrading my social standing, but pointing out that it usually required to consent of the Monarch which I was fairly sure they had been unable to obtain. In the end, I got hold of some nice parchment-type paper, wrote a beautifully hand-written letter in my finest calligraphic hand and most archaic language, and attached a wax seal to the bottom. They finally took the hint and stopped |

i thought everyone knew this from watching bugs bunny.
and also Home Simpson just taught me the difference between jealousy and envy. most people use the word jealous but they really mean envious. but most likely what will happen is this will end up being one of those english language words that actually morphs meaning due to mass misuse "you jelly?" |

Instead of "Esq", lawyers should use "M.P.", meaning "mouthpiece"

I never use it for myself, but I generally will put it after other lawyer's name in lieu of writing out "Attorney at Law" or whatever ridiculous set of law firm last names they expect me to fill out. It gets the point across with three letters.
