I'm Terrible With Names

[ feed | comment feed | cloud | sort:  alpha / order added ]
Generic descriptors for a person that don't tell you anything about him or her (except, perhaps, that person's gender, age, or social class). Nice and anonymous. Useful at cocktail parties.

sirrah

how 'bout "bud" or "buddy"

about 1 year ago uselessness said:

Yeah, not sure about those... but your suggestion did inspire me to add Joe, John, and Jane. :-)

about 1 year ago oroboros said:

this may be a stretch: "tom,dick and/or harry"; "beau"

It's tricky to add words to this list that don't come loaded with a strong connotation. For example, I wanted to add aristocrat and wench, but they tell you too much about the person in question. Same with occupational titles: doctor, plumber, etc.
