Referring to someone who is popular or famous in order to let the other person know that you yourself are popular and actually have friends. The event being described is usually a lie, or the story was exaggerated. Most of the time name dropping is used by people who think they are cool, but are not.
Can become very hazardous to one's mental and sometimes physical health.

Get the name droppingmug. a really annoying thing that happens a whole lot. For some reason people have the habit for writing definitions for names.
Ex. Bob is the most caring, athletic, cool guy you will ever know. he is also (insert other random bullshit).
really? I didn't know Bob was all of those things. In fact I know a guy named Bob and he's a DICK.
Now you see why name definitions can backfire and have no use?

Zamorahs have good morals, and always think before they say things. Zamorahs are down to earth and thoughtful of others. They are also beautiful, even if they don’t think they are!

Get the Zamorah (Name)mug. 1. The cause of salty users wanting to shit on their friends by using their names and writing a negative description like this:
"BOB:
bob is thot ass needs to die and no one likes him bob is gay
By: Steve1"
We all know that the publisher of the article, Steve, is just some guy who has an IRL enemy called Bob, and he's hoping to get his payback in a really weird, pathetic way. Giving Steve ground isn't helping anyone else out.
2. An outlet for egotistical people obsessing over themselves with a positive description, like this:
"BERNARD:
bernard is the nicest most amazing and godly person you will ever meet!!! hes amazingt at everything1!
By: Bernard9"
As if people using this site for nothing but bashing people they don't like wasn't bad enough, giving platforms to people who just want to kiss their own ass all the time is possibly worse, because by voting for those definitions, you're basically telling them they're right, that they really are "above" everyone else.
These are ruining the site. Even if most of them never get approved, having to filter through a bunch of them before finding a legitimate article can be really annoying. And they're not even the kind of thing people will keep saying; no one will, after reading that article, start saying "That guy's such a Bob, ugh." They may have been a little funny at first, but when they start to eat up the entire website, the humor starts to diminish. And this trend has LONG since outlived its appeal.

Get the Definitions for namesmug. "lad name" is a masculine substitute for maiden name, used when a man changes his name at marriage. birth name can also be used as a gender-neutral substitute.
When we got married, my husband took my last name. His lad name, though, was Weinerschnitzel, so I guess I can see why.

"Since coming to LA, I knew porn might be in my future. For now I'm sticking with my Hollywood name, Alan Oakland. If things go south I'll change it to Arnie. He sure was a nice Dalmation.
