Today, I discovered that the word 'randy' means 'horny' in England. I'm going to England next semester to study abroad. My name is Randy. FML

We aren't retarded. We use the word horny a lot more. Randy is a dying word over here.

When I was in England, the name Lou seemed to be very popular. It has a little tinkle to it.

I have a feeling they're gonna use it around him though.

But if it wasn't a dying word, at least they would always know where he stands emotionally.

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.

Show it anyway

Whiskey makes you Frisky Brandy makes you Randy ........

People are going to resurrect it around op. The word will suddenly become popular around her.

You must be horny if you're going to study a broad! XD

I would give a thumbs up to this comment, but it's on 69 atm, and I don't wanna be the one to ruin that...

Haha, sorry but to most British people Randy does mean horny. Speaking of Randys, you know Randy Bumgardner basically sounds like 'horny butt-gardener' in British English.

I look forward one day to meeting a Lou Brush. There must be one out there but she would have taken hell at school!

Lou = Short for Louise, perhaps Louis / Lewis (though I've never come across that) . It's just a nickname (again in most cases)

dont worry. most people dont even know what that the word 'randy' even exists

Erm... they might not use it much but I'm pretty sure most people in England know what randy means.

I know a Randy at my school. He thinks he is smooth with the ladies, but in reality is a gay, as$hole, and a d!ck.

well in my country it means a prostitute but its pronounced much like randi

Surely "Randy" is short for Randolph or Randall or, eh....Rand-jemin or something! Go by your real name or at least pretend you have one.

Anyone else confused OP is female? Never quite encountered that before. That's like calling a boy Helen or something...

Or calling a guy Marian, it happens someone names are more effeminate, some are more masculine.

I have a female friend that goes by Randy. Her name is Miranda! ^.^

I've known a few women who spelled their name "Randi."

Marion was originally a male name (see John Wayne) as was Leslie and Ashley among others. I knew two females legally named Randy. It's not common but not super rare, either. I worked with a man named Dick once. After the first day, it was old news. Act as if it doesn't bother you: introduce yourself without embarrassment and laugh off any small jokes before calmly moving on. It'll likely be no big deal. Just avoid the chavs.

53- if his name is Helendick wouldn't it be most likely that he would make his name Dick for short?

I have known a couple of female Randi's - with an "i". I just wish I knew more randy females.

Since It says op's a girl, I think it'd be Miranda. Don't worry op! Just have people use that! Or call you ran, because that sounds kind of cool too... Or whatever...

It means horny in America too, it's just hardly ever used.
