Explain your username thread

[Calum]

So, pretty self-explanatory.
Explain your username - if you want to.
I'll start.
My username is just my name.
I can never think of good names and I'd forget them anyway, so I just use my actual one.
Interesting, huh?

[Zylstra]

Mine means "One who lives by a sluice"
(a body of water, a irrigation system, an ocean, river, etc...)

(IOW: Its my last name...)
Its Dutch

You're wondering about mine, right?    Having grown up on a farm is the underlying factor behind it.  Dad was a dairy farmer for many years but also a fairly large grain (corn and soybeans) producer, at least by Ohio standards. 

[Sidewinder]

When I first logged on to Computerhope, there was a box containing a Sidewinder joystick on my desk. It seemed reasonable as a forum threadname.

It does not come from the AIM-9 Sidewinder, a supersonic, heat-seeking, air-to-air missile carried by fighter aircraft.

Nor does it come from a small rattlesnake, known as a Sidewinder (aka. Crotalus cerastes).

 

[Dilbert]

Dilbert is my favorite cartoon strip. Originally, when guest posting was allowed, I used my real name as my username, but I realized that if I wanted to stick around, Timothy_Bennett was a dumb name. So, I found a moniker I liked, and it kinda stuck.

When I hit 3700 posts, I'm going to temporarily use my real name and a picture of me as my avatar to celebrate for that day.

[JohnK]

when i first signed up for CH, my username was John_K_Perkins_Jr, which (obviously) is my name. Then I changed it to jkpj13 which, interestingly enough, stands for John Kevin Perkins Jr., and the 13 was my age at the time (i'm 15 now). Then, recently, i started using JohnK because it's easier to type.

Carbon Dudeoxide
Interesing story actually......
about 2 and a half years ago in science class, we were learning about gasses and fuels and stuff and we were talking about carbon dioxide and then i made up 'carbon dudeoxide'.
We had a quiz once and my friend got a question wrong by writing dudeoxide instead of dioxide 

Ok fine, wasnt that interesting

AIM-9 Sidewinder, a supersonic, heat-seeking, air-to-air missile carried by fighter aircraft.

For some strange reason (I think my brain was just dumbing it down for me) I always pronounced it Hon-ven-tops...

[Dilbert]

I call it (HON-ve-tops). So it's (ohn-VET-opps).
