Someone who's cleaned out one too many crap-traps in their life?
On the other hand "Cess-Pit" is kind of appropriate if it's for a pit bull that spends it's time sniffing the butt end of other dogs....

Probably the same type that choose the Number plate..."Schmuk"...for their car. Very strange.
Hope that doesn't offend anyone here - ahem!

probably the kind of person who chains their pitbull dog up outside.

Martin - that wouldn't be a poke at Skoda owner's now would it? ;)

Seriously, have you ever been to Bermuda?
I met a lad here called "Shethead" (Pronounced Sha-Theed), I know twins named Before and After, and I know a girl called Placenta Bean. Just the tip o' the iceberg if you really get me going.
By comparison, Cess-Pit for the dawg, sounds pretty common-place.

A family-court attorney friend of mine in the U.S. told me they had a lot of girls coming through named "Female," pronounced "fe-MAH-lee." What happened was that Spanish-speaking new parents read the form for the birth certificate info and thought that name had already been assigned to their new daughter, as it was printed in the name box.

Raps, there is a young lady here with that name (as far as I know, she goes by her second name)! There is also a Sensimilia, Vaginal (Yes, that is the gentleman's first name!) and Kermisha (A la Kermit, but feminized.)
Oh, and I've met "Sha-teed". Cute kid. Sorry 'bout the name.

There's one guy from Bermuda who's parents named their cute li'l gangsta John Gotti.

Let's not forget the infamous Genhgis Khan in the news lately. Also know of a young man with the Aswad (Ass Wad) .. geez, I wouldn't even name a dog that.

Cess-Pit, I wonder what he had a dog like that for. I don't suppose the Pit would kill anyone who tried to touch hes Cess(weed).

Don't forget my girl Tequila (Tek-Kwill-ah).

Ya’ll n yo vivid imaginations, maybe the misprint was to read Sess-Pit instead of Cess. Bermuda has it going on for names though. Many young parents splice parts of their name and create new ones for their young. At least we have less Bob’s n Bill’s walking round with Mary n Susan. Maybe it’s a way to get away from the traditional Babylonian names that in the end have always had African origins anyhow, who knows. One thing is you can find some beautiful concoctions that people have come up with among the odd one or ten that don’t shine to brightly. People need to do online references on the names they create to see if it's not a cuss word in some foreign language, or not just plain stupid. :)
Cracks me up on how we call vomiting going to Europe. Only in BDA can you go to Europe all over someone’s floor.

Red Onion,
I know it sounds bad, but Aswad is arabic for Black and is also the name of an important reggae band.
Ethiops,
How is misspelling it Sesspit any better? *grin*
"...in the end have always had African origins anyhow..."
You can't be serious. In the history of mankind, since the emigrations from Africa, you're saying that no new names have cropped up that, maybe, just maybe, don't have African origins?
Look, I'm all for admitting roots in Africa when it's appropriate, but, honestly, not EVERYTHING has to be originally from Africa. It's getting a little ridiculous.

Ethiops,
Yeah, must admit there are a few good one's out there that actually suit people and it does shake up the phone book a bit. Some people should Google the name first, though. Sadly enough, in Bermuda you're going to end up with a nickname like, "Suitcase", "Gums" or "Goatballs" anyway, so some of the pressure is kinda off.
Speaking of names, I am fascinated by my countrymen (and women) naming their cars. Doesn't seem to be just the kids and the animals getting away without some real zingers out there.

The car names! I'm gonna be stuck here all day! Most of these names are hilarious. Almost all of them. H.N.I.C., 14kt (yup, my car's made entirely of low grade gold), black this and black that, Low Cell, Gangsta, African Lion, Rasta 4 Life. Easy Bermuda, its a car not your biography.

I love the license plate "KNITRO" makes me wonder, do they like to KNIT or are they trying to spell NITRO?
Posted by WyrdSister on 29.03.06 at 12:43
My favorite car name was "Ghetto Job" (say it out loud if y'don't get it at first). I found out it was done intentionally, which lessened the impact for me, but still.. very funny.
The other I like is "Duneenworrywiffit" (I think that's the spelling.)
Posted by His Excellency, Uncle Elvis II on 29.03.06 at 12:53
Actually I always wondered about "KNITRO" as well until I found out I knew the couple. Her maiden name was Knight and his last name is Trott, so it became "KNITRO".
Posted by missy_lobo on 29.03.06 at 12:59
That's actually kinda cool! I apporve, then.
Well, I kind of approved of Knitro, but that makes it cooler.
Posted by His Excellency, Uncle Elvis II on 29.03.06 at 13:05
SG...
I just hope they know what it means - that's all.
Posted by Martin on 29.03.06 at 13:45
well that it explains it, and it now makes sense.
Posted by WyrdSister on 29.03.06 at 13:51
Martin - I figure they figure the guy driving behind them will figure they mean them!
The closest I ever came to being killed in a hit and run was in Boston when I stepped into a crosswalk and a Volvo wagon nearly wiped me out. As I turned to yell at them I noticed the license plate said "IMLATE". I couldn't help but start laughing.
BTW - Well no more Skoda jokes I guess. In a survey of 45,000 drivers just done in the UK of the top ten cars chosen as the best over-all they picked BMW, Lexus, Honda and Skoda. Three of the cars being..... Skodas.

Your Excellency Sess-Pit would give the impression of a pit filled with high-grade ganja and Cess-pit would be filled with morbid defecated matter. :)

My wife named her car, "Myles".
Posted by John Steele on 29.03.06 at 15:01
I have a friend that named her cat "Seefa" and her dog "Deefa". I always wanted to name my car "Seefa"
(Again, say it out loud. "Seefa Cat" "Deefa Dog" "Seefa Car")
