The "A" in John A. Zoidberg? Any ideas??

[on:]

Does anyone know what the "A" in John A. Zoidberg means?
I've seached high and low to no avail! Has anyone seen his full name written out? Or heard his name in any episode?
"A" stands for: Anatomy? Arthopod?

No one knows... yet.... But seriously, the show hasn't given it away yet.

The show has answered this question, the A stands for Fucking. He's John Fucking Zoidberg!

As per the book of Silence of the Clamps, chapter 18, verses 15-17*, it is "(bleep)ing". Not "fucking".

May Zoidberg bless you and keep you, and make his face to shine upon you, and be crustacean unto you.

*18 minutes and 15-17 seconds into the episode. I checked.

I vote "Anchovy". His people really loved those salty little morsels.

maybe it's just 'A'?

'Alpractice?

Yeah, it's a stretch.

Maybe just like homer J simpson, the J in his name stands for Jee (if I'm correct)...

Maybe the A stands for Aa 

[Reply #10 on:]

Maybe J stands for Jay, you know, if you've seen the episode at all...



But back to lovable Zoidberg, it could easily represent a decapodian word that is unpronounceable, and the closest English representation of the word could be 'A'
