Meanings behind Monikers (Screen-names)

[Eleshufan]

Just sound it out. Born & raised in red-stick. It’s a requirement here.

 

[theringworm8]

Grew up back in the day when the NBA was a legitimate sport and consisted of real athletes who could take a beating and play every game, unlike the pansies that currently exist. Dennis Rodman was a dude I absolutely enjoyed watching play. He was all effort on the floor. Sacrificed his body for the team. And he loved to start $h!t. I was no Rodman, but I sucked on the offensive side of the ball but could hold my own on defense, similar to Rodman. I actually hated playing basketball but that's what all of mine friends enjoyed doing in our down time. So, that's what I did. Rodman's nickname was "The Worm". All of my buddies knew I enjoyed watching him play, and like him, I couldn't make a basket to save my life but I sure could stand my ground on the opposite end. Even got in a couple of fist fights on the court. They all would call me "Worm". At some point one of my buddies I played with ended up getting Ringworm. We all gave him hell for it, but I more so than others. Ironically, somehow that got thrown back at me and my nickname the "Worm" morphed into the "Ringworm".

I f'ed up when I created the account and accidentally and unknowingly included the 8. If I can somehow correct it point in the right direction. lol

@modified can take care of that!

 

[JoeCO]

My name is Joe and I live in Colorado. I don't have much of an imagination, I guess.

 

[YenkoYS100]

It's an SCCA street legal racecar that I've owned for 39 years. In the '60's and '70's, it beat Porsches and Corvettes on 5 mile asphalt hill climbs. It also roadraced at many famous racetracks, some that are no longer here.

W5KCG is my ham radio call sign. 73!

 

[Tripod]

I used to be really into rock crawling many moons ago. My Jeep was notorious for lifting a tire when wheeling some of the more extreme obstacles. It happened so frequently that my friends joked that I only needed three wheels. That’s how my Jeep earned her nickname Tripod and I’ve used it as a forum screen name ever since.

[NEOHIO]

Just my location, nothing exciting.

 

[captaineegee]

A local sandwich shop in Tucson. Snagged the name for an email back in 1998 with it too.

 

[Ragin Cajun]

Well........mine is kinda self esplianatory. (As my grandfather would have said.) I cook gumbo, amongst other South Louisiana delicacies. In fact, one of my recipes will soon be published.

 

[Rhebster]

Betcha no one knew the LBQJXYZ community had representation on this forum}
My mother says affectionately that my family is more like a gang than a family because we are so close. It’s my wife & 2 college age daughters-during Covid they were HS-Jr. High aged and there were many interesting conversations had during this period. At some point we got into transgender conversation after an arguememt amongst my girls. Subsequently, everyone in the family received transgender nicknames which have continued to evolve & are used often - which in public is quite funny (to us at least). My initial transgender name was Rheba bc Rheba McIntyre is a redhead & they say I am dramatic & can be over the top (whatever-whatever). My nickname name has evolved to “Rhebster” which now gets used by my close friends & extended family.

 

[MCRTREMOR]

My business acronym is MCR (Miranda Court Reporters). I've thought about changing it to VAHTOE because that's what my license plate says.

 

[Toxophilite]

The Googler AI can explain it best -

"A toxophilite is a person who is a lover, enthusiast, or expert of archery. Derived from the Greek words toxon (bow) and philos (loving), this term often refers to someone deeply invested in the sport."

I am an avid archer, hunting and target. I usually compete in 15-20 tournaments per year - (3D, NFAA, Field, ASA, & Indoor)

 

[Triple Lima]

The L is the first letter in my first, middle and last name. I’ve been in aviation my entire adult life and back in the day when we would release a flight or a pilot we would give them our initials. The phonetic word for L is Lima so Triple Lima just kinda stuck. Now that @Optimus🤖 knows I own a DD he might start referring to me as Triple Double.

My name is not actually Richard, but I’m often referred to as a dick.

After selecting Richard I regretted not choosing SuperDooty
