Forkies...or not Forkies?

I don´t know about you, but I think that "Forkie" nickname is rather atrocious for us. Imagine all those busy writers spending their time making up a name for us instead of watching the whole Dallas series...What alternative name would you think we should have (if any) instead of "Forkies"? (You can only vote for one choice)

I voted for "Dallie": ths simpler the better!

Simply based on the thread title, I was going to vote not forkies because I don't think there should be a nickname. I wouldn't vote for another nickname to replace the first one.

I HATE IT, I really do, but like any nickname, it's hard to shake off once people start giving it to you.

I like Forkies.

I'm a Dallas fan, I don't need any fancy title.

whingebags or the grumbleweeds is my choice.

I think Cidre meant "fukk yous"

I would "thank" you again if I could. Loved your answer! Maybe they should call us "texan hobbits"...

I think Forkies is kind of juvenile, so I voted Dallasites, but another name that might apply is Southforkers,

**der_thoreaner** · 09-07-2012, 11:35 PM

I call myself a Ewing (

)...
no, simply "Dallas Fans" or "the fans" (when it's clear the reference is Dallas) does it for me.

And the casual viewers/anti-forkies should be called "the everything is wonderfuls" or "the complacently contentors."

I want to be called a "Braddockite" to show my loyalty is to the original series. Not that Cidre would get it, of course.

Or maybe those people could be called 'Average viewers' or "I just want to enjoy this show without pulling my teeth out"

Oh, I'm sure the viewers you're talking about have other shows where they fall into fan mode. Most people do. There are plenty of shows I watch casually and don't think about on a crticial basis, but I still respect their hardcore fans that do. Besides, if a producer makes a show with its biggest fans in mind, everybody will end up being happy anyway. I'm not talking about catering to every whim, just the big stuff like making sure the continuity makes sense and the set doesn't look like a pile of poo.
