Opeth Fans

[Ihsahn]

I would like to designate the term of an Opeth fan as "Opethite". Personally, I think it sounds better than Opethian, and it also sounds archaic. Better than Opethese. I also heard a joke from someone why Opeth has that name. He told me they were originally "Opus" but a faggot in the studio called them "Opeth".

opeth are named after a city in a wilbur smith book (the sunbird i think??) opet. Mikael just added the h on the end cos it sounds good

Heheh, yeah why not. I think "Opethian" is more of an adjective than a name for an Opeth fan.


Main Entry: opethian
Pronunciation: 'O-p&thE&n
Function: adjective
Usage: often capitalized
Date: 2001
1 : of or relating to the city of Moon or its hypothetical inhabitants, also : a state of mind

- opethite noun



Right, you English speaking lads and lassies, care to elaborate? We can then mail Merriam-Webster.

I must say I'd prefer to be Opethian than an Opethite, the former has a better ring to it

 

[Lakestream]

yup, Opethian is better =)
like indian...

Yeah, Opethite is more of a black metal thing. Anyways they are both better than Opethese.

I like Opeth Band Liker, so those bastards can yell at you "Hey Opeth Band Liker! You like them Opeth's? Well do you?" In conclusion I'm going with "Opeth Band Liker"

I will always be an Opethian, nothing else.

I use the adjective Opethian too much, so I'm definitely not changing it...and the alternatives only work as nouns, we couldn't say "all things Opethite"...

As far as I understood, this topic was initially about finding a noun (a synonym) for "an Opeth Fan", right? Not replacing the adjective Opethian..
