[Big Man]

Following on from the avatars thread - why did you pick the AFC chat username you did? What's the story behind it?

 

I picked big man partly because i had chewing the fat in my head at the time, and partly because i am a man who has quite a large penis* (or is ''big'') - hence Big Man.

 

*when errect.

[ollie1903]

Ollie has been my nickname since primary school and 19 03 is my sons date of birth, and just happens to be, by a quirky twist of fate, the year of our formation.

[King Street Loon]

I lived in King Street when I signed up to this place.

It was subsequently shortened to KSL by others because it's a bit of a mouthful, much like my cock.

[InTaeEm]

Mines was first thing that sprung to my head as when I used to get to Todders a lot more a couple years back there was always this one guy, without fail would be absolutely blutered, and start this chant on his own, brought a little chuckle to my face every time.

 

Plus i like it as it jsut makes me think, in my own little head, of everyone singing that and one day one of our players will launch forward like Zidane and heedbutt somewhere square in the face!

[amancalledbuck]

I stole mine from a tramp.

[Foster14]

Mine is the amount of kids I have looked after for a short period in my home...

[phoenix]

The Oil Industry is governed by 'personalities' of a right-wing persuasion and I was surrounded by a particularly obnoxious gang at my work for about 4 years many moons ago , who did their best to grind me down. Almost...but not quite , I lost the battle but am winning the war. The symbol of the phoenix can represent change , from one state to another , or being re-born.

 

I did not let the bastards get me down , survived and emerged the better for my confrontations , trials and tribulations. I'm sure everyone can adapt the myth to suit their own experiences and struggles in life - the phoenix is a powerful symbol that carries a powerful message.

[E-P-K]

All those years ago, when the old DT was hacked, and the site was down for a period of time, the day it started back up again was the day Esson saved a penalty against Hibs, So Esson-Penalty-King was born, soon to be shortened to EPK as he is obviously not a penalty king any more...

Guardianista 360 suggested such a thread would be 'worth reading' in the avatar one, I assume in the same way that the Guardian is 'worth reading'.

 

Aye, if you've got zero personality.

 

As you can see above, it's not worth reading, not in any way, shape or form, it's making me feel sick just reading the puerile responses.

 

I dinna give a fuck how any of you came up with made up names and pictures.

[Pash]

My nickname shortenenened.

[tup]

My nickname shortenenened.

 

I can see why, bit of a mouthful when you add the 'de-doobie-on-e-left-hand-side', I agree the short version is better.

[robbo]

my nickname from when i was in 5th year. havent been called robbo since then like but its just what i always use.

 

whats marginally more interesting in a very geeky way is ive started using AuRobb as robbo tends to be taken whenever i need to register a name. Came from the final series of red dwarf when lister finds out hes his own dad from the cryptic message "Our rob or ros". Course Ouroboros is greek for the dragon that eats it own tail - a cyclic new beginning.

 

 

so it used to be the moniker when i was playing games and had to register a name. Whats more apt for a game character name than one where you know it will play out the same way everytime, the very idea behind ouroboros. Combine my surname - Robb wi Ouroboros = Auroboros. Thought it sounded smart as fuck. Didnt like Ouroboros so changed it to Au (which is also the chemical symbol for gold which only adds to the nerdiness).

 

Now ive just started abbreviating it to AuRobb.
