Explain your username

[Keeaumoku]

...I also don't have the hat...

Well... don't sit there and frown about it... go git one, son!

 

[Platypus_Of_420]

platypus = c'mon! god was baked when he made the platypus, just look at it

4:20 = anybody taht goes to high school should know what this is

but basically, the way i described it one time is like this:

easter has a bunny, christmas has santa, 4/20 has a platypus

 

[bassteban]

Well... don't sit there and frown about it... go git one, son!

Do you think the(Esteban signature balsa-wood classical)guitar comes w/one? If so, I'm on it!

 

[fookgub]

Pigface albums: **** + Gub. Everyone seems to think it's a euphemism for "f*** up." It's not. I chose this an AOL username about 10 years ago, back when almost all the words were taken and I didn't want to append "4323515" to something. Honestly, I'm pretty sick of this username, but I continue to use it so I don't have to try to remember which username goes to which forum. For anything remotely professional I just use my name.

 

[brothernewt]

Brother = on tour for a record called "hymnal", the band members began calling each other "brother (name)" and other religious mockery.

newt = shortened from "Newstead"... 'cause I play bass, my first name is Jason, and at one point I played a black bass and looked vaguely like him. (I'm much older and fatter now).

and it actually stuck, most of the people who know me from that band/time in my life still call me "brothernewt".

 

[barthanatos]

Mine comes from Greek.

"Bar-" = son of
"thanatos" = death

For one, it is kinda neat and scary sounding, but for me it describes how my life came through the death of Christ.

 

[D.A.R.K.]

as it says....my initials.
i'd like to change it, actually.

 

[Vorago]

Vorago; latin for Abbyss, I think.

I think I'm one of the few people here who really laughed at this. I mean REALLY LOLed. That's the best explanation for the platypus I've ever heard.

 

[MissPiggy]

My name came about when my other half watched me stomping around the stage with attitude, wearing pink, with a pink fluffy scarf. He said I looked and behaved just like Miss Piggy. Well, I wasn't flattered, but the name kinda stuck.

My other nickname is Legalongfoodletwee, or Leggy for short, or just plain Leg.

My real name is Lesley. Boring!

Oh heck - I suppose there is a similarity.......

 

[bigtexashonk]

One of my favorite guitarists, Eric Johnson was speaking about his sound in an interview and referred to it as having that "Big Texas Honk".

 

[mike_v_s]

First name: Mike
Last name: Vidal Sassoon

Mike

 

[keb]

These are my initials. I used to use my real name, but I became too paranoid when the wind blew off my tinfoil hat.

 

[guy n. cognito]

Mine was a fake name Homer Simpson gave himself. I started using it on another forum after one of the other members made a giant deal about the "security risk" of using your real name. I initially started using it as a joke, but I've kept it ever since.

 

[elros]

Here you go. (including a subtle hint for the thread creator )

 

[43% burnt]

The name of a song by the Dillinger Escape Plan, that was playing when I registered here.

 

[bassthumpa]

Jazz was one of my nicknames through college and a while after. I actually had a show on the campus station using the name "Mr. Jazz", even though our show didn't play jazz.

When creating my first (and last) hotmail account, I wanted to come up with something unique. My then girlfriend suggested midnight since I was a notorious night owl. Pretty much been my all-purpose online name ever since.

 

[AxtoOx]

Ax to Ox, Guitar player switching to bass, Ax for the guitar ( I was ignorant to the fact bass players called their instruments Axes also) and Ox for a bass player I admire who we all know.
I've used it on several forums and never changed it even though it's kinda inaccurate. It's unique.

 

[karter2000]

My username comes from the fact that I race gokarts, or "race" karts as I like to call them, as they are not the slow karts that you see at amusement centers. Mine typically go about 100 mph (with my butt 1 inch off the ground). The 2000 thing comes from my old landlord, who set up an email/internet account with "karter2000" for me and I've used it ever since.

[DigMe]

Mine is the words "Dig" and "Me" and you put them together.
