Without using pronouns (me, he, she, it, etc) or articles (a, an, the), how did you come up with your user name? (lemmy.world)

Essentially, I want us to sound like cavemen.

I'll start:

HomesliceAbe was playing Mario kart and HomesliceAbe's dad couldn't think of name of one of courses (HomesliceAbe thinks name was "Moonview Highway?). HomesliceAbe's dad called course "Homeslice Highway" and HomesliceAbe thought new name was hilarious. Also, HomesliceAbe is big fan of Abraham Lincoln.

I've seen several people with usernames that aren't actual words, and I thought they were pretty cool so I decided to follow along and come up with a cool non-word name myself. Forgot how I came up with "kworpy"
