I think its a general rule that anytime you derisively mock someone's name with these snide, "clever" puns--or whatever you want to call them--any argument you could make is ignored.


Agreed. I'd have to say pejorative puns are on-par with scare quotes for signaling lack of substance.


Whereas "me too" filler comments signal something of substance, shame that signal is not a good one.


It was new to me and was worth a wry grin.
