There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.


Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!


Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐Ÿ‰.

When last names became mandatory a lot of people chose funny ones as an act of rebellion. It's also why a lot of last names come from places, occupations and first names.

Whether or not Fingerbottom is one of those, I wouldn't know.

Probably location based. Family/village lived near the bottom of a peninsula or something.
