For example, I play the drums and tend to think of myself as a drummer. Do you love games, consider yourself a gamer? Are you a chef, a bodybuilder, maybe an artist? What is it that you love to do?

It’s definitely allowed. I’ve met lots of people who gave me the distinct impression that they were wankers.

I’m not sure if you mean for me to take that personally. But I did take that personally. I laughed anyway, totally agree.

Not at all. Love your username btw. Though I believe Ook was an orangutan, not a gorilla.

I will claim that an orang-utan is often mistaken to be an orangutan, but is in fact a cousin of Gorilla gorilla called Gorilla otang-utan.

That’s because I have found that I was wrong, there is a character limit, orangutan is a long word, and I’m a retconning wanker.
