This has probably been asked before but I wanted to add another layer/an alternative.
So, I ask, where did your username/pseudonym/nickname originate from? What’s the meaning behind it?
Or alternatively, which is the most creative/interesting nickname origin you have come across?
I think I picked it when registering with Sharky Forums back in like 2000, it just means a wage labor worker.
Guess.
You really want to see this thing everybody talks about?
My name’s Darren. Here I am in the 'net.

It’s a reference to a Simpsons episode, where Bart writes “nobody likes a sunburn slapper” on the blackboard in the opening.
Means potato / lame
mine is just my normal name given to me in usual earth custom with my parental units assigning me one and another indicating my placement in a lineage. So boring and typical of the species. I mean our species.

I was eating something when I made the account. Make a wild guess what it might have been.
Engineers left it on my PRs before waiting several months to merge them :)
Huh, I always expected you to merge them ….
I only merge on Fridays before big releases
A few years after high school I joined the stage crew for a musical theatre group some friends started. At a performance after party, I was looking after some of the younger cast who had a few too many: one of them decided I was like Bosley to their Charlie’s angels; the other felt I was looking after them in a fatherly way - so they combined it, and that became their nickname for me. Also, the nickname my siblings had given me, NoPatchGlandBoySleepyTheIronDeficientBrother was just too long.
My name is Helen. I hated that there were no good nicknames for it (ugh, Helly…) but I love my name. Mentioned this to a friend who was like “you could use other parts of the name for a nickname…” and suggested Lenny. As a woman on the internet, having a gender ambiguous username is very beneficial, so I adopted it, and I absolutely love it. I added extra ns because then it’d look like bad kerning Lemmy.
I zonk out really fast. Sometimes mid-sentence.

Thanks I thought it was lazy :). Yours is great. Makes me think of The Wrens.
