One of the enduring Steem memes has been some users calling people "dear" as if they are a little old lady asking for help to carry groceries to her car. However, Steemian has been the non-official identifier, with Ned trying to use "Steemitans" as if that was ever going to be a thing at all - one of Ned's final bad calls of judgement - to date.
With the name name of the Steem fork looking like it is going to be Hive?, the question has been raised as to what would be the nickname, the group identifier for users under the new blockchain banner that is getting created by @blocktrades and crew.
Since it is a fork that is looking to be our new home, I took this image a few moments ago as I believe that from now on, I am going to be calling everyone - Honey.
But that is not set in stone as of yet, but I think that it has a chance of getting some support from the ex-dear community, as it has enough familiarity with people that it will carry the right amount of creepiness when delivered by strangers.
But, for a little fun, let's see what community moniker we can come up with and see if it can catch on and be thing - be sticky, so to speak.
Join the Hive, have some fun.
Go!

I think we should look to the movies for a name, If we all go it will be because we grew furious with the current situation and it was unsustainable, So I pick Furyans, our nest has been kicked to the ground and like any good protector bees we are furious. (Plus I liked the Riddick Movies).
Furyans sounds a bit too close to furrians / furries. :'D
That was a concern of mine also. I am sure once the move is made we will get a nick name for the hive.
:D

Isn't Furyans a little aggressive? :D
Was Pitch Black a Riddick movie?
Will the witnesses be called Super Cels?
Yes Pitch Black was a Riddick Movie, three full movies a few shorts according to a search, I liked all three of them.
Pitch black was filmed close to where I grew up. It was a terrible movie :D
I loved the movie, all three of them, but then again I like zombie movies also, and for some reason, I do not understand, I like the movie "Riding in Cars with Boys" my wife did not like it, but I did. It is not the typical type of movie I like. But I did like the Riddick movies. The Blade vampire movies were good too. So far not a single disappointment in any of the Omega Man remakes either and there have been a few of those.

Reminds me of Star Gate Atlantis :)
They were Wraiths, but that would be a cool handle also, the ghost of steemit's past.
Oooh. That made me pause
I think going with crypto Bees is nice. cBee , a bit like cyber Bee, might get confused with the famous Sea Bees. We’ll see, we’ll see. Everything is better then STEEMian, ‘looking back’ that has always been bad name :p
ceeBees perhaps?
Who the hell are the Sea Bees?
My mom’s cousin was a Seabee in the Vietnam War.
Ah, it is a US thing. Don't remember hearing it before.

Yes, US Offshore Mechanics, very famous
I am guessing only for those interested in military stuff, which I am not.
I don't usually insert myself so boldly on other people's comment sections but I couldn't help myself:
Finnish women like honey. My first ever cottage party in Finland - I ended up having honey licked off my body by a group of about 5 girls.... those were the days....
!ENGAGE 25
Wow, you've gotten the full welcome treatment! 😂
Then there was the shower to wash the honey off...
I have to say... I have had some good experiences in life here and there :)

Drama queen bees? :)

Honey dear, I'm not a fan of the Hive name, but if the new community works, I will get over the name. But if I had my say on the name it would be something like...
– MastersOfTheUniverse --> Masa (okay, only Finns would support that nick name) MOTU would perhaps be more understandable.
– Punnishers --> Pnshrs (combine of pun and a punisher)
Can't think of any others. And that's good because the name Hive has already been decided. So we will be Hivers.
Beehivers

Neither Furyans, nor Hiveians, nor cBees, nor SeaBees, nor Hive Turkeys, nor Hive Bunnies, nor Beehivers.
¡Welcome to Sticky Land! Band of Stickiers!! :p
sounds like a business model of professional fluffers.
Yeah! I even have ready the 'fluffer' Sticky logo.
Just wait until my apotheosis triumphal entry for the inauguration.

Honeybunch is cute
That's stinging to my ear, dea.., I mean Honey.
Well I'll keep playing around with this. tbh I didn't know about the dear thing although I know someone who has been talking like that habitually for years now. What can you do? oh, meme's. Right.
If "dear" was a thing then I think you probably nailed it.
All the buzz about "Honey".
Right Buzz?
I wonder if the inflation pool will be called, the honey pot 🍯
If we call it that - It Will! (breakthrough moment) Woa- what's that feeling?!
After a month of the boy king- This new horizon.. well it's surprisingly euphoric. Geez it's funny how people work. This sure has been a great view to watch and learn from.
So much is going to happen over the next few days, weeks and months on both chains :)
A great catch with the cover photo, congrats.
And I have no idea about the name.
Honeys for girls would be sweet though :)
Cheers.
Somethin' 4 Da Honeyz
How about Hiveians!!!
I tried that in a comment. Not sure it will catch on - but all contenders welcome :)
hive.io :P
you want to be called by the site name?
Hey, @tarazkp.
Drones.
Drone on. :)
Haven't seen this yet. Can't believe I haven't. Don't want to be the first one. :)
Well, it suits me ;D
And you are right, I haven't seen it yet either.

This tweet, or that tweet?
Congratulations @tarazkp!
Your post was mentioned in the Steem Hit Parade in the following category:
OMG! This was hilarious!
I have to admit, I loved the honey (well, it was so obvious, although, I want to almost slap anyone who calls me dear in a not so endearing way) But drones? hmmmm now that has a nice ring to it.
Stingers.
Oh, the possibilities are endless!
