A lot of spam is eaten in Hawaii, but I don't think that has anything to do with this...

and there's a totes funny pun included.
For once, I support Chevre. This is a pretty great title.
I can also get behind a "worth 1 umbrage"-based title. My idea would be
Shitmeter
. Of course, the thread is basically irrelevant on a sitewide community level, and on the mod team's radar anyway, so it's not really the best basis for anything on the scale of a title.
Also Free Candy is a decent one for Buttons.

Dolorus means grief though not pain so I'm not really seeing the connection unless we're going for the Umbrage makes everyone mourn route.

I think it's a Harry Potter reference.

TheButtonmen: Dolorous
TheButtonmen: referres to sadness
TheButtonmen: not pain
teresavneves: (For Dolores Umbridge, Harry Potter.)
TheButtonmen: he isn't even using old english properly
TheButtonmen: what?
teresavneves: But it's still bad.
teresavneves: Name of a character.
TheButtonmen: Listen Tierce
TheButtonmen: You kids
TheButtonmen: and your hip hop
TheButtonmen: and rap
I have been informed there may be another layer to this title I previously missed?

BUTTONS

I agree with Tierce. I don't care for
Dolorous
. It feels shoehorned because of a popular franchise that I don't associate with Umbrage at all.
If you are going to base his title on his username, then it should be because Umbrage's posts actually do cause people to take umbrage.
Umbrage ->
Take it
or
As Advertised
Or something along that route.

Umbrage is the Herione fan though, isn't he?

As Advertised amuses me more then it should but I'm unsure of Umbrage's willingness to accept a title with negative conentations.

Hmm.. Good point. Still, it's a name that refers to a different character than the one he likes. Which doesn't make much sense.

Or just Granger Danger like the Very Potter Musical song.

I was thinking of that, too, but I want it to be more of a warning to Hermione about Umbrage.

I dislike username titles in general, and the Umbrage/Umbridge joke in particular. Granger Danger/Danger, Granger makes me chuckle, I'm not sure if it's a good title but I'm not opposed to it.

2nd Danger, Granger
That's very funny

Can someone explain danger, granger to me? I'm just struggling to see how it makes sense in proper English. I could of course just be being thick.

Granger is a direct address in that clause.

Nth Granger Danger
Because it's the only one so far that's actually funny.

I know Danger, Granger is confusing if you don't get the fact that Granger is an address, but it clearly equates Umbrage with Dolores, while Granger Danger makes it ambiguous, and leaves open the interpretation that it's a comparison to Hermione.

I don't get why we're focusing on Hermione?

I don't get why nobody can spell Dolores.
