User talk:Def choad

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (Def choad) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because contains the string "choad", a slang term of some currency for male genitalia. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you.

As for the meaning of choad, I'm familiar with that particular definition but there are also others, I've heard it used to describe an ill-mannered person. I think it's also the name of one of marvel comics' (super lame) starjammers; however that name might actually be chaod. But language - slang even more so - is not set in stone, and choad to me is the name of a godzilla-like lizard creature. Besides all that, I'd hate to think a screenname that is acceptable to the AOL instant messanger censors is deemed too offensive for the free and open (I say that with no sarcasm whatsoever) Wikipedia. But again, if I must change it I will, please let me know what I should do. (talk) 01:10, 16 June 2011 (UTC) def choad
