HelpRe: Talk me out of using Macaulay
in reply to a message by Jana46
It's a bad idea because Macaulay is *only* associated with Macaulay Culkin in the vast majority of people's minds, and I liked Home Alone too, but so what? It's a thirty-plus-year-old slapstick movie that gets shown around Xmas every year and in my own opinion is worth watching mainly for the fun of seeing the two idiot burglars get the holy bejesus beaten out of them rather than for Culkin's acting or his weird lateral lisp. "Uncle Frank, izh zhis a zhoke?"
And Mac isn't that great a nn either; it's like Buddy or Dude or Hoss, just some generic placeholder used by movie cabbies or cops to address men whose names they don't know.
Just use Cole as the full name.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
