The Raptor's thoughts are as follows:
(1) Has anybody thougtht to look up "stook" in the dictionary. The definition of "stook" is "libidinal diminution, degradation of concupiscence." Ugh!
(2) I've decided to abandon my environmental consulting business and make a career of following this thread.
(3) Drogers- Don't forget Jack Daniels.

(this is the first and last time I'll type that combination of letters, here I go...)
<IMHO>
STOOK is too close to:
- stool (as in, sample)
- stole
- stoke
- spook
- stuck
STOOK is a cutesy, "ooh, aren't I clever" nickname that when prononouced among the uninitiated only contributes to the impression that only mid-life-crisis wags drive this car. About as cool as making Python references at a party. Note to selves: if you get a lot of
when you find yourself explaining it to people, well, you qualify.
Agh, I've said it again!
"S2K" is a little more acceptable, but only after you've said "ess-two-thousand" enough times around someone for them to know you're not just trying to be a way-cool and in-there playah by using a pet abbreviation for something.
Ultimately, I'd prefer people use the nickname "STOOK" for their cars than, say, giving them human female names. I mean, how bereft is THAT? (Unless its a boat that you've nearly died on many times and that has sustained your family for generations, don't bother!) Back in college, I used to help out the girls in my dorm with their computers and, without fail, it was the lonely, booky, socially-inept ones that actually NAMED their computers.
Max doesn't like it when I shut him down too quickly.
Well, lets see how you handle Mr. Happy then...
Same sort of girls who, at what should be a mature age, might have horse and unicorn posters on their walls...
</IMHO>
p.s.: you just know that a thread like this will arbitrarily strengthen someone's resovle to use the vilified term. Know how when you forbid a child from using a certain word...?
