Biante

[TBVX05]

Admin, can you please shed some light on the 'Biante' name and where it came from....

[VXfan]

I was told that it stands for 'B' and 'T' - B for Bev and T for Trevor.
Isnt that right Admin?

[NatesV8s]

LOL, I always thought it was pronounced "Bee - ant"

goes to show how much I know.

Phone Ethic, like being nice and polite on the Eau the Colone;)
Like being nice and polite on this forum as it goes through a phone line

Well,... Maybe, ... But there might be a cryptic message in it as well.
One could look at the Whole message for it to become a bit more transparent.
At least you ,still, have 3 stereo mirrors to check

I would hazard a guess and say. as most people have two christian names. B.I. are the first letters of bevs christian names, A.N. is a shortening of and , T.I. is the first letters of trevors christian names. how did I go admin did I win the cupie doll?.


Athol.

:confused: Whatever you say...

[pjformula1]

I read this forum all the time but very rarely have anything to
say as i just enjoy the reading.
But in this case i thought i would add that after reading the posts on the Biante name i found it very amusing & had a good laugh
(no offence to anyone intended):) :)

[Martin Thomas]

B(ev) and T(rev)
B and t
Ban't

Jazz it up a bit...

BIANTE

[TBVX05]

A more appropriate name would have been Tianbe, then!

[admin]

B started it so T goes last
B an T

Take a look at some of my posts when I forget to use the spell check, because it's how I spell :eek: !!!

In a nut shell it's when you spell a word how it's sounds rather than using the correct letters.

If you got children who are around grade 1 or 2 (6-8y/o) age, have a look at their story writing book etc... & I'm sure you'll see things like thay (they), pladed (played), cach (catch), etc, that's phonetic spelling.

cheers :)

Lol. I never thought of that. Beyonce, Beyontay hehe...

I don't know why I pronounced it the way I did. I spose it kinda had that sexy linguistic appeal to it when I first perceived it...for eg: AN (on) TE (tay)

..No? :p

You're not the only one username. I've collectors over here pronounce it like that.
Next time I hear someone say it like that, I'll have to pull out the Destiny's Child call.

[Eliot Meadows]

How about adding a bit of onomatopoeia to the discussion to confuse everybody!:D

We do not follow any code of football. More into motorsport.

[NatesV8s]

I reckon AFL and Motorsport are a good combination:D

Depends how much spare time you have, in our case it is only one, not both...

We used to be interested in Aus. Rules but it is a bit more like footbrawl now, so not worthy of attention.

[TBVX05]

I dont think so. Football used to be way more rougher before there was trial by video. Now you cant get away with nothing! Well, depends how the tribunal feels on the day.... :rolleyes: And the players are more skillful and athletic than they used to be.

[NatesV8s]

Ok.. you've lost me.:confused:

[TBVX05]

You were lost anyway! :D

Go Bombers!

[NatesV8s]

lol, why do you have to be an Essendon supporter?

[luckystudebaker]

I have many people come into the shop who cannot pronounce Biante as it is suppose to sound. I have heard people say it as this. Some are funny:

Bee-arn-tay
Bye-an-tee
Ber-ran-tee
Ber-Lan-tee
Bee-on-tay
Bee-ant
