Please - Certain Nicknames In Moderation

An open letter to some members of this community, and to many individual Caps fans out there. If this letter is to you, well, you probably know who you are.
Dear friend:
Look, Alex Semin was the Caps' 1st round pick in 2002. He's been a part of our lives, for better or for worse, for more than seven years now. And it's not like he's been quiet or flown under the radar or hasn't been a prominent member of the team. No, he's been right there, front and center, the focus of much attention and more than his share of drama.
And the whole time, his name has been Alex Semin. Yes, "Semin." Yes, it sounds like "semen." Which is the word in English for jizz, sploodge, rotary wankfluid, li'l swimmers, man milk, what have you.
His name is Александр Сёмин in Russian, and when it's pronounced properly it doesn't even sound like "semen." It's more like "Syo-min." But I suppose someone preparing press materials for the 2002 draft decided it ought to be spelled "Semin" when written in English, so here we are. With a player whose last name sounds like "semen."
Which is funny.
Kind of.
Except, the thing is, it's been more than seven years. Trust me, we've heard it all before. And as funny as any joke can be, it's just not funny anymore after seven years. The Caps will have the guy for another year now, and despite what seminrocks may think, many of us would like to see him rocking the red for many years to come. And, even if he's ever gone, there'll be Semen Semyon Varlamov in the Caps' net.
I understand that the sploodge jokes will never really stop. But they had died down to a pretty acceptable background level coming (huh huh) into this year. And then Matt Bradley let slip the team's own nickname for Alex Semin. Which was freaking hilarious. But it also seems to have provoked a lot more of the more sophomoric style of sploodge jokes.
I actually don't have a problem with folks casually calling him "Jizz" (though I tend not to do it myself). If it's a good enough nickname for his teammates, then it seems fair game to me. But the "Jizz was all over that guy" and "there was Jizz all over the ice" and "Jizz just squirted out of my penis" jokes are really getting out of control.
More than anything, it's kind of a "noob" joke to make. Like you just discovered that there's a guy named "Alex Semin" on the Caps' roster. What kind of Caps fan, or even Hockey fan are you, if the fact that a guy is named "Semin" is that funny these days?
So please make this thread a focus for verbal ejaculations about the guy's name. Any Jizz joke that comes to mind, please -- just fire away. And then can we leave it alone for a while elsewhere? Because the gag has gotten really old.
Thank you kindly,
Gould Old Days

I know this ain’t going to stop anything, but if it lowers the number of times I’m distracted from a legitimate point by somebody once again discovering what Sasha’s last name sounds like, I’ll be happy.

The whole " Jizz " thing doesn’t bother me one way or the other. I suppose it may be a cultural thing. If you are in school, or work in an office or professional setting, you may not be as used to these types of vulgarities as I am. As an electrician on large construction sites, I hear stuff on a minute=by-minute basis every day that would make the most hardend sailor cringe.Cursing, name calling and various nefarious acts are a daily way of life.
All that said, I think that the idea of this one place to vent the Jizz jokes is good. It gives them a forum and could keep most of them out of the general discussions.

Or can I find another soapbox or high horse for you to nestle up your bum? I browse the rink for about 30 minutes every day and rarely come across a Jizz reference. When Brads said Jizz in the interview I had never heard that nickname for him… and it’s still one of the funniest things to come out of a Caps’ mouth this year.

If you disagree with his point, that’s all well and good. You may not see the nickname going around a lot in your browsing and that’s fine.
What’s not fine is telling Gould Old Days that you’d find another object to put up his ass. Or calling him a codger. Or making an LOLOLD jab about his handle. Or comparing him to Internet Man because you’re offended that he dared to ask that we, as a whole, stop using every excuse (and awkwardly inventing new excuses) to throw around the Jizz nickname. God forbid.
Take some of your own advice and get off your high horse. He’s pointing out something that he thinks is over-used and has become unfunny when it’s shoehorned into every possible situation. Judging by the number of rec’s attached to his original post, more than a couple of people agree with him.
Personal attacks aren’t cool and they don’t even make your point. They’re gratuitous insults that add nothing to the discussion and detract from everyone’s experience.
in short, quit with this bullshit.

I’m not defending bushwood at all but, G.O.D. kind of left the door wide open for that sort of response. As JP mentioned above…the point of this thread is essentially try to get people to stop being stupid on the internet…
Really I don’t care one way or the other…I am a fan of a good jizz joke…regardless of the thread as long as it’s somewhat topical and if it’s bad enough I’m sure one of the admin folks can send the user an official warning.
/this thread is too elitist for me.
I don’t object to the Jizz jokes at all (I take them too far, actually). I was only trying to address the personal attacks – I’d have no problem with a rebuttal that wasn’t phrased in the way that it was.

To get motivated enough to post a rant like this over the rare usage of a hilarious but sexual (?) nickname is just obnoxious. To have this many recs tells me maybe someone should rustle up a fanpost with some actual content; we’re all a little too bored?

by Bushwood Bushwhacker on Jan 11, 2010 11:46 AM EST up reply actions
But it’s not about appropriateness or inappropriateness. It’s about the fact that every single time Semin scores, or gets a point, or takes a penalty, or is shown on screen, or someone on the thread thinks about him, we get a “Jizz” joke that almost always is not very good. That gets old fast.

It doesn’t help that his own teammates obviously use the moniker as a nickname for ’ol #28 as well.
I actually agree with you, and you won’t find a single comment from myself using the name “Jizz” (nor do I find it all that funny), but it does get harder to convince folks not to use it with Matt Bradley busting out the name in an interview. It kinda makes you think “well, OK, at least the guys on the team use it in a light-hearted way, and Semin probably doesn’t really mind…”
Of course, he may not mind a little teasing from his teammates, but he doesn’t know me at all, so may not like it that much in that context—which is why I would refrain.

The objection isn’t about Semin potentially caring if anyone called him then, it’s about personal preference. GoD would prefer if we all didn’t make jizz jokes. Others would prefer to do what they please within reason and respectfully ignore posters we don’t agree with/feel we have to listen to.

I’ll take some of the blame since I pointed out Brads’s slip in the GDT (and yeah, I have an infantile sense of humor). But asking people to stop saying things because you don’t like the humor seems a bit…un-American?

I guess I’m just of the thoughts that everyone has a thought/opinion on any given topic. If the thought/opinion isn’t an insult thrown at a particular user then who cares…just move on. It’s amazing to me that on this site of all places that people are complaining about a joke getting old. I mean I can understand if you’re offended by the word jizz or any of its synonyms but because the joke is old? But to complain about on the site…of all places…because the joke is old? Come on really? There are countless inside jokes, puns and rehashed comments that not everyone here gets and not everyone here cares for.
If you don’t like it…move on or ignore the user…

Personally? I’m with you. These jokes stopped being funny a while ago. Brads’s slip was funny because it was unexpected, but there is nothing unexpected about telling the same joke over and over and over. At this point it kinda blends into the background.
That said, if other people still think it’s hilarious, good on them. It’s all in the name of entertainment, after all.
Lots of jokes get run into the ground here. It’s not about that, it’s about one dude’s joke/“dirty” word preference.

Well...
Honestly, I wouldn’t care if Semin leaves. He’s an extremely talented player and he’s been with the club for a long time, but he makes bad and selfish decisions when he’s on the ice. We’ve all seen it, trying to dangle 3 people and pull off a miracle when he could have either dumped it in or passed it. We should trade him before the deadline and get a two-way forward, or find a team willing to trade defense for forwards, then we could pull a trade like semin for whitney or semin for souray. This team can be better and it’s not by keeping semin. IMP

ok ok ok, so he’s playing REALLY well lately, but you can’t prove to me he plays solid D considering he’s only +1 in 21 career playoff games.
