What does your username mean?

[Radius]

latin for 'ray'

Because I always liked the word and my first avatar had Farren Ray in it

 

[AngryRanga]

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Quite obviously named after Tarkyn Lockyer, and then his career tally of contested possessions

 

[Boston tiger]

Played for Bostons in Port Lincoln the year they started up. They are yellow and black and the reason I started barracking for Richmond.

 

[Righteo]

Some ok usernames around

But most are s**t

I've seen more creativity in an empty cardboard box

Anyone you have specifically in mind?

 

[Gee Dub]

Was in the first ever GWS academy, back when there was only 10 or so in each age group from the major centres (Albury, Canberra Wagga, Western Sydney) rather than the millions that are in it now. After never making a rep team before I started letting everyone know how good I was for being 10cm taller than everyone else and was called GWS by my mates. Later it was shortened to Gee Dub.

 

[The Passenger]

I said it like Quiveer take out the v and your name sounds queer

That is fairly similar to how you would pronounce an Irish name that is confusingly spelt Caoimhe

It's pronounced with more of a "K" sound than a "Qu" but they are somewhat related sounds

 

[CakeEater]

That I eat cake.....

 

[PP34]

Just something random that popped into my head as an eight year old when I first starting making accounts on the internet. Clearly related to my love for the NBA.

 

[Dan Moody]

Favourite character in my favourite movie, plus I follow the Minor League team the movie was based on

Were you ever nbaboy1?

 

[Caesar]

Mine is one of those long-forgotten schoolboy nicknames that evolved several times, to the point that its etymology is utterly esoteric. I believe it was my fifth or sixth attempt at a username - I wanted something that was a single word and easy to remember, so finding something that nobody had picked yet took a few goes.

If I'd known I would end up a moderator I probably would have gone with something that had fewer implications of dictatorial tendencies and general hubris.

 

[Gough]

I was called Buddha as littley by my parents because I had a fat gut, no hair, and smiled a lot. To this day there are a few folks who have known me all my life who call me that.

You hit your 40's pretty early on then.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

Did you smile a lot? If so, things just got weird.

 

[HugeJohnson]

 

[Shane Hird]

Shane Heard. 80s EFC Premiership player. Tough as nails, fitness fanatic, super tagger with killer instinct.

Unlike my real self of course.

 

[RolandF1]

Roland from Dark Tower plus I like (liked? *sigh*) F1. The end.

 

[Paranoid]

I was listening to the album Paranoid by Black Sabbath when I signed up

 

[ioppolo]

Roland from Dark Tower plus I like (liked? *sigh*) F1. The end.

What happened?

 

[rippersnipper]

Once had a legend of a teacher called Mr ripper, plus its slang for beauty, which is slang for legend. Played on words with whipper snipper and hence my username

 

[RolandF1]

What happened?

I started watching in the 80s/90s and its not as interesting as it once was. Plus, sounds like its going the way of V8 Supercars with TV coverage, which will only diminish my interest further.

 

[Plugger35]

Plugger is my favourite Saints player so was a natural choice as my username.

I didn't realise that Bigfooty was such a big forum though and there were already about 100 versions of Plugger already registered so I added my second favourite Saints player Robert Harvey's number (35) in a sheer stroke of genius.

Not a very creative username but I was drunk when I registered it so I wasn't going to come up with anything that required more than about a minute's thought.

 

[Igloo]

A dome-shaped Eskimo house, typically built from blocks of solid snow.

 

[Handsuper47]

When I was coming up with a name, I really didn't know what to pick at the time. So I just looked at my hands, then I thought of Super Man punching some bad guys. All the while I was watching something on TV and they had AK-47s.

And thus this username was born.
