    Everett Chad Nelson?

    As in, Everett like Everett True, the guy from those early 1900’s comics who always beats people up?

    Chad, like Chad as in… an “alpha” or otherwise hyper-masculine male?

    Nelson, as in the bully from the Simpsons?

    Nominative determinism strikes again. (Maybe I’m in that community and just didn’t look idk)
