What does your user name mean, and why did you choose it...?

[grumbledoak]

It was what my horse used to call me, before his deathbed confession ("You bd!").


Well, if I'd looked up the spelling it would be.

Pints said:

I'm all of half an inch shorter than one of my best mates, so was bestowed this nickname. (Pints is short for Pintsize. Geddit?)


In truth, I'm not very tall anyway.

P.S. Hope EricMc pops in. Always wanted to know the origin of his username.

He answered that Question in How did you choose your user name Vol 1.... Maybe prior volumes but that's the one I originally posted in although I think I have since deleted my reply

She asked what I was doing
"Signing up for a car forum, I need a username"
"How about fking "Anorak" she suggested
I spell it backwards.

I really like that one I remember it from volume 1 but you made it a better reply in this one

[Zippee]

I waffle a lot and tend to open my mouth before engaging my brain, bit like the Zippee from rainbow

[TheAngryDog]

An old colleague of mine likened me to the dog in the comic strip "the angriest dog in the world" as I was always angry.

[Professor Barney]

Mine comes from The Simpsons episode when Barney Gumble, the town drunk, sees a video of himself and asks Homer if that's really the way he behaves when drunk.

Homer replies 'That's the stage we call 'Professor Barney' - talkative, coherent, even insightful.'

I did use to like a drink, and was often a bit of a tw@ when I did, hence the name, although I'm a much reformed character nowadays.

[Nickbrapp]

[Abdul Abulbul Amir]

Bit slow on the uptake captain.

Some do some don't - I did

[anonymous-user]

A John C. Reilly character originally from Tim & Eric Awesome Show.

[BS62]

What does it mean: In the re-boot series of Battlestar Galactica, BS-62 is the registry number of the other ship.
Why: it's short, easy to remember and type, and obscure enough that it could be anything.

[DodgyGeezer]

I was Irocfan having owned 4 or 5 of the things. I felt that to celebrate the purchase of one of my dream cars, Dodge Challenger, I'd change with an appropriate tongue in cheek name

[Milkyway]

My first nickname at school, as it just rhymes with my surname... You know what kids are like. (Or just ‘Milky’)
I gathered a few more in my adult life though.

NB: It has no connections at all, with me working in later life, for its manufacturer... that was just pure coincidence.

In the days when I first started going to the ‘ring (back when the taxi was an e34 M5 ) I was quite often “the only Indian in the village”
