HelpRe: WDYTO Scout (more)
in reply to a message by Stephanie Anne
I actually dislike it ... a LOT. It's worse than Piper. Very harsh sounding to my ears, like a scraping sound. I think of scraping grit off a curved metal surface - sskowt, sskowt, sskowt. And it's trivializing - a scout is usually childlike - overeager, small; the verb is really only used facetiously in my experience ("Let's scout out that burger place for lunch").
Sorry for going on and on, I just enjoy coming up with explanations =) If you like it, you like it - I doubt I'll change your mind, just let it be a data point for you that a few folks like me may cringe at the name until they get to know the person.
