yoni
(yonn'-ee) n. a representation of the external female genitals, regarded as the symbol of Shakti. adj. yonic. (this would be the opposite of phallic, presumably)
Or did we already have a topic about this?
Meh. That's a cool definition.

Except that I think "phallus" is the correct word for the adjective "phallic," although I'm not sure whether that has any relevance. Anyway, I remember once reading Yoni's RL name, and as I recall it's not far from Yoni, which is why (I presume) he chose it. *shrug*

Yoni is also a nickname for the hebrew name Yonatan (which when translated to english is Jonathan)
I assume his name is Yonatan.

I think you're right. I wish I could remember where I saw it.

My real name is Yehonatan Rozenshein, but practically everybody calls me Yoni.
But I think that Yehonatan is relatively similar to what you wrote, Hitmen, perhaps a minor dialectical distinction? I'm no expert, but I've picked up a COUPLE things from Bible study.
Where's the expert?

I'm not sure how much it would cost to ship to the United States from Israel, but I suppose I would be able to pay if its not an insanely high price. Also, what type of currency would you like payment in, asuming you're willing to sell us one?

Hello,
I am unable to provide the services at this time.
Please seek a different vendor.

From his page. " I am a 17 year old boy and I live in Israel."
That's like wrong. Now he's an 18 year old man.
Its a nick name. He probably never thought anyone would look it up. ::)

I'm the bird from Othello.
Actually, dxoisdghlk has it right, click his link :)
Incidentally, Othello is probably my favorite of Shakespeare's works. As far as video versions of it, I say the one with Laurence Fishburne as Othello is really awesome.
[edit]One of the modern-day versions of this movie, called "O," is fantastic. You can find it on Amazon here (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00006HAYP/qid=1107310502/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/102-3645986-2714546?v=glance&s=dvd). I recommend this move wholeheartedly (and it links to the '95 Fishburne one). It is an amazingly similar plot with an entirely different setting, and the actors do a great job of keeping it together. ;)

To me, iago is completely the bird from Aladdin. Never read/saw/heard Othello.
MyndFyre, I saw that movie in 2000 and it was great! :) I also recommend it.

Same here.

Seen em both and read the play. Yar othello is the shit. It is way better then pansy macbeth.
So iago, if you ever get a bitch box or something would it's name be Rodrigo? Incidiently, my second box's name is Djali since this one is Quasimodo.
No, I don't have any kind of naming themes. My 266mhz server is "Darkside", my laptop is "Slayer", my steel laptop is "Tank", and my old desktop is "Ron" (that's before I started naming stuff)

"Yonatan" and "Yehonatan" are very similar (in Hebrew, "Yehonatan" has 1 extra letter, not 2). "Yehonatan" is an extra syllable, which is more work, so nobody actually says that name. People write "Yehonatan" and pronounce it "Yonatan".
I like "Yoni" because it's badasser.
"Yehonatan" is Jonathan's name in the original Hebrew version of the bible.
Btw, it's apparently a common geek thing. In my boot camp, there were about 5 Yehonatans/Yonatans, and they all preferred to be called Yoni. It was amusing.
As for the page "yoni.asp", I am well aware that it is extremely:
- Outdated
- Lame
- Lame
I keep delaying the rewrite. It may never happen. Or it may happen soon. Wait and see.
Quote from: Yoni on February 04, 2005, 04:38 AM"Yehonatan" is Jonathan's name in the original Hebrew version of the bible.
So "Yoni" is to "Yehonatan" as "John" is to "Jonathan".
I like Yoni more than John.
