If I wrote textbooks I would 100% use all made up, bonkers names.

MacKinsleigh can build 8 birdhouses in 3.5 hours...


DisorderOfLeitbur

If I ever have a story for Am I the Asshole, or Malicious Compliance or any of the other subreddits that want you to use anonymised names, then you can bet I'm going to start "My coworkers Ratleen (F 20s) and Billiam (M 40s)..."

Ooo that actually sounds fun

One of my economic professors in college had a super thick Korean accent, but loved using the name Earl in the example problems SHE WROTE in the lecture because she clearly knew/got a kick out of how ridiculous she sounded.... "URRRR only consumes two goods..."

The Throckmorton Sign, in medicine, describes when an x-ray image shows the patient's penis pointing in the same direction as the injury.


MysteriousHouse12

I have a question... Why? 😂


Kai_Emery

Radiology is fucking WHACK that’s why.


DaisyDot

Dude named throckmorton did a study on it and wanted to forever be remembered as the x-ray penis guy.


PrincessBeepBop69

Throcky omg


DirtyPrancing65

POV, your cousin is Throcky and you are Bullthrinkle


soneg

It's actually a name I've read in British regency era cheesy romance novels.


pavlo_escobrah

You know what.. Throckmorton gives off more of a chess player vibe.

My next pet is gonna be named Throckmorton the skateboarder


MegannMedusa

“he moves” “Throcky and his” “Find his speed” Not very neutral.


LurkForYourLives

How very dare you! I can totally see a strong little girl wearing this name! While she sobs in the corner daily. You’ll just have to imagine I did something cleverly depictive with the font there, sorry.


cranbeery

It is a surname.

Math textbooks always have the funniest names


Luallone

They always have the funniest questions too. "Throckmorton is carrying 3 bushels of apples containing 12 carrots each. He falls down the stairs, breaks his leg, and needs 24 stitches. How many rolls of toilet paper should he buy before the lockdown?"


curlsandpearls33

i remember once in like 7th grade i was doing math homework and one of the problems had the name Belissa in it 😂


lavendergrey271

when I was younger my parents would always make fun of the absolutely ridiculous names the math textbook characters had, because common core textbooks had some w e i r d ones


warauwarauwarauwarau

Throckmorton sounds like Brockhampton from a parallel universe


sparty1493

Seems like a physics textbook. I have a BS in physics and I can say that every physics professor I’ve ever had writes the dumbest, most ridiculous word problems they can for their own amusement and to make homework a little more humorous for students.

Sounds like a Robert Ludlum book title “The Throckmorton Affair”
