Zsolt is my real first name. The word "harang" means bell in Hungarian. It's just a random word I decided to throw in, because I guess "zsolt" would be already taken. And 33 is also just a random number. So, I didn't put much thought into creating my username. I just stumbled upon this website somehow and wanted to try it and ask a question, and I had to think of a username. I was so impressed by the helpful nature of people here that I decided to come back frequently even when I didn't have a question. I found that I can learn a lot by simply reading the questions others ask and the answers given, or using the search feature, which I have used a lot... You know, I'm surprised why when I search for an answer on Google, generally the first thing I see is a link to StackOverflow rather a link to PerlMonks. It's almost as if this website was somehow purposely suppressed by Google. (?) I don't know why that is.
I would have never guessed the meaning of eyepopslikeamosquito, but now I understand it, and it makes sense. Thank you for explaining it. | [reply] |
The word "harang" means bell in Hungarian ... Zsolt is my real first name
Whoa, did you ever live in Hungary?
In my youth, I was fortunate to be allowed to train for a month at
the renowned Spartacus table tennis club in Budapest,
where I could also watch the inspirational training sessions of the
golden generation of Hungarian table tennis. 🏓
Occasionally, a retired table tennis legend would appear at our lunch table,
one Zoltan Berczik.
Is your Zsolt first name just a shortened form of Zoltan?
Given "harang" means bell, Zsolt is derived from Sultan,
combined with your love of chickens
gives us an obvious emoji for harangzsolt33: 🔔👳🏽♂️🐔
BTW I learnt to swear so well in Hungarian that on my return to Australia, Hungarians in the audience
watching my (expletive-laden) matches would walk up and start talking to me in Hungarian right after the match ended. :-)
Update: I remember meeting the legendary Viktor Barna
at the famous Albert Park table tennis centre in Melbourne around 1968,
which Viktor was visiting as part of his duties as a Dunlop executive.
Sadly, Viktor died far too young from a heart attack shortly after that visit
(executives tended to eat unhealthily back then and cholesterol was never mentioned).
Barna, five times World Mens Singles champion, is arguably the greatest of all time.
He invented the "backhand flick" (with a hard bat!) ... which can be clearly seen in this
historic youtube of the 1949 English Open. :-)
Tragically, the wonderful, quirky, historic Albert Park table tennis facility is now gone forever,
demolished circa 1997, replaced by a modern but much smaller one.
I was fortunate to witness first hand Istvan Jonyer
winning the Mens Singles World Championship in Kolkata in 1975.
Like fellow Hungarian Barna, Jonyer had a great backhand.
Istvan is famous for inventing the sidespin loop and was my favourite player back then.
I also have fond memories of being chauffeur-driven around Budapest (at high speed!)
in 1972 by a young Istvan Jonyer, before he became world champion.
Updated: minor clarifying changes to wording, added chicken to emoji; added more info on Hungarian World Champions Barna and Jonyer
