What is The "Proper" Way To Refer To TecHIMO Members ?

I have been both complemented and criticised for use of term "TecHIMOids".

So being the democratic-freedomloving-liveNletlive Type of DOOOG, I thought I'd open it to the Members:

So basically we have three possible choices already but anybody should be allowed to use whatever they chose IMHO.

Heck, so if you don't like the choices shown, in my book, you should able to use whatever your own sense of humor, grammer, and propriety suggests!

LET THE POLLING BEGIN !

P.S. And I changed it from "Proper" to "Suggested" in the Freedom-loving spirit which is THE WAY OF THE DOOOG.

I'm with you this time (gasp!), use whatever you want.

But I kinda like "Techimolians", myself. It just sounds better & easier to say, and is almost a carryover from "Sysoptians"

TechIMOoids reminds me of Rolaids.

TecHIMOans sounds like "Samoans"......we aren't Samoans are we?

TecHIMOlians........I may be a geek but I'm not an alien!

I prefer to refer to our race as TechIMOnese, masters of the martial arts of computers, our kind has survived many Empires and invasions.

TechIMOids - sounds too much like hemorrhoid. I'm sure most members sit on a comfortable surfing surface. Personally, I use a thick pillow.

TechIMOans - Tech-I-MOans - sounds like a computer problem turns competent members into inept whiners and moaners.

TechIMOlians - sounds like a RICH PC or Mac owner. Those types have someone else fix their problems.

I like Geeks.
