Alpo Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 That picture of Maureen O'Hara made me think this. Peeping Tom. He was the guy that looked at Lady Godiva as she rode by. Doubting Thomas. he was the disciple that did not believe the man standing in front of him with Jesus, because he knew that Jesus was dead. I'm sure there are others but I can't think of them at the moment. Aside from the pig thief - Tom, Tom the piper's son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Being a "Tom" let me be clear about the name Tom or Thomas. Some of the best people I know are named Tom. Thomas means "Twin" or "Leader" in Aramaic. In Semitic and Greek languages it means "Twin". Famous Toms: Thomas, the Apostle Thomas Aquinas Thomas Jefferson Woodrow Wilson - Given name Thomas Thomas Edison TS Elliot Sean Connery, given name Thomas Here are a few more: https://playback.fm/people/first-name/thomas https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-people-named-tom/celebrity-lists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_with_given_name_Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I call the Tom turkeys hooligans. They often fight, poop everywhere, and make noise. They are pretty when they are mating. No offence to any Toms meant; but you asked, Alpo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 Dirty Dog there is the only one that understood my question, apparently. This was not about good Toms or bad Toms throughout history. This was about bad things you call people that include the name Tom. You say that somebody is a Peeping Tom, that's a bad thing . Doubting Thomas, bad thing (although not as bad as a Peeping Tom). Uncle Tom, bad thing. It's like Nancy boy. There's a lot of decent honorable women throughout history named Nancy. But Nancy boy is a derogatory thing to call someone.

DeaconKC Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 "Doubting Thomas" only doubted the other disciples. Once Jesus appeared he no longer doubted and died a martyr's death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
