LoLoLoL, I can't tell you how many people have read it as Testicle on first glance. I've used this several places, & it's come up every time...

[hypnotic pets]

When I was first starting my pet store my friends would just come to my house and stare at every thing like they were in a daze. So I thought the name was fitting since my animals put people in a trance.

How's your day going Testicle Toast? . Hey, Westicles isn't much better is it?

Finikan might be a norwegian fish.

After I dumped my ex, he posted that he had "helped finikan with her" T's and had just picked up his first, an OBT.
I have just recently found that thread, and saw that @viper69 commented that I may be a norwegian fish. And I enjoyed it. My 20 year old username finally has meaning.
Thanks man!

Sure it doesn't mean awesome dreads?

I was wondering when you were going to show up...did I miss your origin story on these pages?

You may have to scroll back a few pages, but it's there somewhere. Its basically just an old nickname, a play on Wes, my real name!

Been a while since we had a topic worthy of a Welcome To Arachnoboards thread. Special thanks to @Arthroverts for suggesting this topic.

Since the dark ages of Usenet & BBS, through the renaissance period of AOL & Yahoo, to the current times of Forums & Social Media, creating an online persona has been a time honored tradition. For some, there is no more exciting and/or anxiety inducing feeling than clicking that register button and having to create a username. There's no comparing, to anything else in the world, the euphoric moment when you come up with what you think is the perfect name to use or the existential dread deep in your soul when you draw a complete blank .

Please take a moment and share with us The Story Behind Your Username.

Regards,
The Arachnoboards Team

Additional note 6/20/20: Apparently, unknown to some of us, a thread with the same topic has been going on in our off topic forum "The Watering Hole" since May of 2018. We would like to take a moment to give credit where credit is due to the original starter of that thread: @Greasylake

If you would like to read the original thread and you have Watering Hole access (more info on that here), here's a link to it: https://arachnoboards.com/threads/where-did-your-screen-names-come-from.307276/

According to the universe of Harry Potter, Goliath is actually a half giant due to only being 9ft 9inches.

[sobakakhleb]

"Dog bread"? And why in Russian? Here, as far as I know, there is no such expression. Dogs rarely eat bread. There are expressions here, for example, “dog weather”, or “dog life”, is used in the meaning of “bad”, that is, “cold” or “rainy” weather or “poor living conditions”.

I don't know why i chose Russian. Honestly. And it's not a phrase. It's two words. But yeah, it is kinda weird.

 

[Recluso]

Oh I like this game

My full "title" is Dr Recluso. A nickname that came about when I was at university many moons ago. I was going through a bit of a bad spot with my health and as a result, barely left my room. In fact, I became completely nocturnal. However, my amazing housemates would come and check on me and whenever they knocked on my door, I would tell them to come in and swing around in my computer chair to greet them. My massive, leather computer chair that one of them felt make me look like a Bond villain, minus the cat. As a result, they affectionately referred to me as Dr Recluso. Over time, I've continued using variants of that name because even now, it still suits me down to the ground.

 

[CutThroat Kid]

I had thyroid cancer when I was a 16-year-old kid and had to have two surgeries leaving me with a scar across my throat.

I also release trip-hop style beats and other genres of music under the name, search it up in Spotify or Soundcloud or wherever else!
