Harry “Cool S” Truman
I’m skeptical. This could be true, or AI generated nonsense. It does link to a source, but I can’t verify the source.
You can’t trust a historian’s biography or his official museum‽ Don’t trust TechSpot’s exaggerated headlines.
“I do my own research” is a short walk away from “I trust only my own sources”
In case you were referring to me, how was my comment any of that?
not you, the person you were commenting about.
This is the reference. It’s a dotgov.
To be fair to the person above, that’s actually the source given for how Truman wrote his own name, not for the S not standing for anything. The reference for that is number 8, which is a book rather than a website. That said, the one you linked does back up the S not standing for anything anyway
What a coincidence. I never knew this despite my penchant for useless trivia but just yesterday at an airport I overheard some high school kids asking each other trivial pursuit questions and this was one. The next day: this post. Uncanny.
I had a friend like this in college. His name was AJ. That’s it. Just the letters.
Everyone in the department spent ages trying to guess what it stood for. I managed to glance his ID when we got lunch together once. His name was just AJ. There weren’t even periods marking it as an abbreviation.
Still haven’t told anyone though
Reminds me of the character BJ in M*A*S*H. Named after his parents, Bee and Jay
Now I want to name a kid Ay-Jay.
Monkey D. Luffy type shit
S and a dot apparently.
Have an old friend/colleague with the last name Oh, share the same first name, so at work we would always say, John S., John D, John O type of deal, for some reaosn it would keep me wondering if we were really saying Oh or O. For him. (John isn’t really the first name, just an example)
I’d tell people my middle name was “S” too if I were a boy middlenamed Sue. How do you do?!
/s
I was going for the Harrys Truman, but this is much better.
