[Closed] Where does your username come from?

I was weekendworrier for some time - I'm now ww-as-was.

(not w-was-was)

Have a guess...

random letters!

Apparently I look like him (small, brown, funny hair)

ton-y 20sTONe weighs a ton

I'm old, grumpy and incompetent

I demand a contribution from Darcy!

Whilst doing my spanish degree, some south america lady noticed I was unusually going grey in a strip down the middle of my head and said I looked like a skunk! (El Zorillo) the name stuck.

Nickname since about 13. Adrian > Adrain > Drain. As predicted by my grandad when I was named!

Mine stems from my as yet unfulfilled desire to command a small but highly trained unit of airborne simians.

It's just the name of a man I strangled once. Found it in his wallet.

I believe his surname is Darcy. Not sure exactly how deadly he is though.

Don is a very common name in Spain too. 🙄

Typo'd the title of Pearl Jam's 2nd album on the first site I ever signed up to (Surfers in the mid-90s), decided I preferred it that way stuck with it ever since...

I'm one of the few on here that wouldn't feel silly if someone called me by my username in public.

I am a northern mythical creature

I've been binners since before the interweb was invented

I make them....

although I havent made any for a couple of years

erm name given to me by a club I used to ride with, all down to the fact that at times I to work within the adult industry doing sales and marketing for a web based toy company, (link to site in profile) means I get to hang around sex expo's talking to all the wonderful people we meet there...

because I don't look like this

I just like the name

One of my favourite albums

Should've used the one with the green cover 🙂

Old footballing nickname. Wished I'd picked something else really.

mine is pre STW.. and I still get called Yunki by many people..

I was the oldest Dave in our little gang of tribal mystics (drug addicts).. hence Youngster, which became Yunky da Junky which got shortened to Yunki or Junki (Scandinavian pronunciation)

We started pronouncing everything we said in a Scandinavian accent for a few months to honour a new member of the gang that looks mostly like this:

There's only one thing for it... a where does your username come from thread

You bored again?

I would have thought mine was obvious.

It is what people were saying whenever I regained conciousness

Nickname i've had for years.
Normally just hippy, cause of my hair and smoking habits.
But I answer too **** as well....

Because Thisisaspoon had already been taken (true story)

Shhhh Colonel.

This is a memory test for the terminally bored.

I've spent many years enjoying various outdoor activities and it's always been the case that the dirtiest one at the end of the day was always me. My wife first called me this a long time ago.

From a Cadbury's Chocolate Finger advert from the 80s.

I have discovered cider to be a very good energy drink 😆 I use it all the time!

Mine is pretty blatant... I used to not give two hoots but then I grew up a little bit but kept my username because I'm not trying to hide from anyone and often bumped into people on different forums who then instantly knew it was me...

Its also a pretty decent record...

when you really need to go and its touching cloth

The voices in my head told me mine.

Republic of Calderdale to be precise...

Mine came from this video,

Not Safe For Work

It seemed like a good idea at the time (clearly I was right - I have NO idea!)

I keep meaning to change it as it could mean other things but somehow I have become attached to the name now...

Rachel

Sorry TSY 😳

Umm, I should make up an exciting story. But really it's an anagram of my name.

I am similarly streamlined.

I was terminally bored

I should change it

Nickname at primary school was Cat because I was told I look like a cat by a girl that used to pinch me. It stuck, typed Cat as a player name on a computer game at a friends house, when I escaped the enemy it said Catflees, so it's been cat or Catflees since then.

S'ok Colonel... you passed the test.

I'm going to try and unscramble your name now.

Alex??

A great track by The Slits, off the Cut LP.

Yossarian: Is Orr crazy?
Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: Of course he is. He has to be crazy to keep flying after all his close calls he's had.
Yossarian: Why can't you ground him?
Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: I can, but first he has to ask me.
Yossarian: That's all he's gotta do to be grounded?
Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: That's all.
Yossarian: Then you can ground him?
Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: No. Then I cannot ground him.
Yossarian: Aah!
Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: There's a CATCH?
Yossarian: A catch?
Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: Sure. Catch-22. Anyone who wants to get out of combat isn't really crazy, so I can't ground him.
Yossarian: Ok, let me see if I've got this straight. In order to be grounded, I've got to be crazy. And I must be crazy to keep flying. But if I ask to be grounded, that means I'm not crazy anymore, and I have to keep flying.
Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: You got it, that's Catch-22.
Yossarian: Whoo... That's some catch, that Catch-22.
Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: It's the best there is.

yossarian: is that from a book? What's it called?

I'm a Swedish Whore.

Started seeing a chap who was nicknamed Toasty. His mates started referring to me as ‘Missus Toast’, and when I started playing World of Warcraft I took that name for my first character. Ended up sticking with it, with the occasional 'Mrs' variation after getting married.

My high school nickname and original online nickname Riggers was based on my surname, but it did get a bit confusing because my brother got called it as well by his mates, as does my nephew.

Could be worse, I've got one mate whose nickname is 'Peebz', because fifteen years ago, when walking home, someone said, "What's that squeaking noise?". It was his shoes, but what he actually said was, "It's the sound of my plastic bollocks rubbing together". Henceforth he was known as Plastic Bollocks, or PB, or Peebs.

Because I had one.

Colon Waxel?

Started and ran an F1 site of a similar name back in the mid-90s. Did a load of stuff online under that name and when I bought a domain name for personal use, atlas was not available so it morphed to atlaz. Boring story.

One of my favourite plants. Tall, spikey and has the ability to be self-sufficient (to a small degree). Attributes I'm very unlikely to possess...
