Ok, I can get a handle on most usernames where they have your name in them, type of boat, a bit of a saying, etc. But some usernames just don't seem to have any rhyme or reason behind the jumble of letters and numbers.

For example (Not making fun of your name, just showed up at the right/wrong time in the online list) spegtoast what is a speg and why is it toast? See what I mean?

Your reason may make perfect sense to you and even the rest of us if we knew what it meant.

So those with the really weird looking usernames, Why? What does it mean? and what do we call your a first name?

Re: Usernames....... the weird ones

Well Don if it includes me. I can honestly say you are one of the most respected members of this site and someone I owe tons too for your knowledge. Mine is the name of my boat which I named after my little girl's nick name as a toddler. And my sir name is Richard, Richard Kimble but some of the guys just use FF which is fine by me.

Really? Next you will say you are innocent, maybe even blame it on a one-armed man. :)


As for me, Roscoe is my pet cockatoo.

Re: Usernames....... the weird ones

none of you have a username that I asked about.

jigngrub is types of bait, fat fanny could be a problem or a phyical profile, and roscoe could be your name. None of which are the types of usernames I am asking about.

what does Jvlx1p1 stand for? That is the TYPE of username I am asking about..

Re: Usernames....... the weird ones

I can't beat jigngrub and I guess it's not what you're looking for but here's my story anyways:

I'm a chiropractor. Subluxation (screwed up joint in the body) + Laux (my last name) = subLAUXation. Wish I could take credit for it but my wife is the smart one in the family.

That's what I mean, things that just don't fit and make sense, now it does. Thanks

I would bet that more than one person wondered about your name, just never asked. And I would bet you have also wondered about other names.

LOL ... I've been reading your name way too fast. Never noticed the "u." I have a buddy who's a chiropractor, so made the assumption early on.

I've tried to figure a lot of them out. Hopefully more people respond!

Re: Usernames....... the weird ones

My boat's name is TAZ. (my avatar is from the stern of the boat) the last 3 letters "rig" come from the first 3 letters of my dad's boat's name. My name is Jonathan but my friends call me Jon.

Hoo boy! That explains a lot!

I'd really like to explain my username but I don't understand it myself.

I don't think "Tyme2fish" needs an explanation.

Re: Usernames....... the weird ones

lncoop stands for Luke Nelson Coop (boring, I know:sleeping:). Over the years everyone has taken the lower case l to be an upper case I. My nickname is Deuce (as in little Deuce Coupe), but when I posted my first question several years ago I had no idea I'd stick around, so I didn't give much thought to my handle. Too late to change it now unless I need to go underground, which could be any time the way it goes around here.:laugh:
