Ask Lemmy

CB radio user names are called handles. One of my nicknames is The Vandal. I think Subterranean Homesick Blues is one of Dylan's best. Violà.

i like the swapnote girl so i borrowed her name

I read an article, that the executioner who operated the electric chair was sometimes called the state electrician. I liked that, as I like many little known words and phrases. It has nothing to do with his job, the euphemism just tickled my fancy.

HEXN3T stands out and was only taken on PSN, apparently.

Do I really need to spell it out?

I love frogs and was hungry when I made my account.

It's related to my first name. But some letters removed and others rearranged.

It’s like 15 years old from back when I used to PVP in EVE online. Vaguely weird to pronounce and towards the middle of the alphabet so I don’t get primaried

Username should be pretty self explanatory. If you still don't get it you can either ask me or bravely run away.

It popped into my head while I was thinking of one, felt kind of clowny, then I searched for it online and didn't find any results. I was shocked that, apparently, nobody else is using this, so I've decided to.

I made this account shortly after watching Jackass 4. One of the new guys brings his dad on, this guy served time and did not look like he was one to fuck with. They put his head in a fishbowl with a tarantula and he instantly went into full bitch mode. That man's name was Dark Shark.

Ambian, maybe? I don't especially like disco, and my name isn't Doug. But I felt it in my heart at some point that isn't exactly clear to me.

Its a me, mario

Mine is related to my name but is not my name. I've been using it so long and in so many places that I decided I need a pronunciation and decided on "wudgerie," which is also not my name. Anyone who knows me IRL could figure out who I am without much trouble, and a dedicated investigator could probably dig it up (that's NOT a challenge, BTW 🤣) with a pretty high level of confidence without breaking a sweat, but (1) I allow for that in what I say online, and (2) I kind of like having an online persona that is mostly just the real me with a bit of anonymity. Keeps me grounded and reminds me that all you assholes are real people too (except you, @GiantRobotTittiesTeeHeeHee@definitelynotabot.ai... or you, Georgia Bulldog fans).

I think I picked it when registering with Sharky Forums back in like 2000, it just means a wage labor worker.

What about you pip? My first thought was the main character of Kid Icarus.

Bernards letter

Mine comes from the intro to The Fresh Prince of Bel Air

I asked Dr GPT for a list of nouns and adjectives with a particular theme and picked some I liked and combined them. I do the same process for all my digital identities.

Kona + Loki + accidentally changing an O to an A = Kolanaki

And then it turns out, it's also the name of a place in Greece.

I enjoyed The Talos Principle. And the messages in that world seemed about as real as you guys. I mean that in an endearing way

Every time I go to make a new username I just choose the first 2 words that come to mind

I mashed the keyboard.

The pinnacle of Australian culture

"Behold, a token effort" sick line dropped by best boy linhardt in fire emblem warriors three hopes

My display name is probably from the most mysterious song on the internet

Minecraft username I coined at the age of 8. The name speaks for itself.

A bunch of goofy bureaucracy name fuckups to my real name. It’s a long and boring story. It’s in no way related to being a group for tacos addicts.

Because I like these little guys: Grasshopper Mouse

Hank likes hominy.

Redditors are stupid in very specific ways and it annoys me.
