Default Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?

DarkHorse is for my poly sci major in college. The dark horse candidate is usually the long-shot underdog type, which suits me. It's a hard nick to get on most forums though, as the name is popular because of the comics.

Well, there was an episode of Pinky and The Brain where Pinky's weird exclamative words saved the day. They had been captured by an evil computer who claimed to know everything; The Brain asked it what Narf meant. The computer didn't know and asked what it meant. The Brain then informed the computer that Narf meant Poit. Then the computer asked what Poit meant. TB said it meant Chez. The computer asked what Chez meant. The Brain said Narf. And the computer went round and round until it blew up.

I saw that episode the day before I signed up, I think.
Finally the truth comes out. For the longtest time I thought it was French for something, until I tried to get google to translate it
