No reason at all, don't worry about it!

Because I'm the assman

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, obviously Quentin Callaghan isn't my real name. I got this from some online American name generator.

That is literally my name. I was never first with that name on any internet service thing so it was a novelty to name myself that.

I had the intention of dropping in on those 'is it octopodes or octopuses' debates with 'um, actually it's octopeople'. Only I got tired of the joke after the 2nd or 3rd time so there you go.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I randomly created it about 25yrs. ago when I was first hanging out on message boards, and I just stuck with it.

[–] Steveanonymous 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wanted to be as unknown as possible on gamefaqs lue board 20 years ago and i have kept it ever since

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm a male of Cajun decent who likes tea and gravy.

It was my only non-bot account on this instance which only existed to create communities. My main account's instance closed down so I made this my main.

I haven't posted in [email protected] which I really should do as it's the perfect username for that community.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My username is a portmanteau of words siivu and viipale which are two different types of slices. I'm not sure if English differentiates these two types of slices but siipale is something between those two or both at the same time.

Anyway, in addition to being an interesting portmanteau my username sounds similar to sopuli so it's a perfect fit for Lemmy.

Because I'm certain I'm a Ten and what's not to like about tea? But really, all caffeine is good caffeine, and only my partner is giving me a ten on a really good day!

[–] DerArzt 3 points 1 year ago

Because I like Doctor Who, and it's just wrong enough in German that it's never really taken by anyone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

South Park reference for something I found funny. Not much to it other then that.

[–] Tolstoy 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My nearly 2m slender cousin "gifted" it to me when we were first time at a internet cafe playing CS. 20 years later I'm still using it and now it fits my body too^^ btw it means fat, thick person

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Tolstoy 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Sadly not. But hey, it makes me look kinda smart and russian... I can't even read russian xD

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Tolstoy is worth reading even translated. I can't speak russian either but nabokov and tolstoy are top 5 writers for me

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

My original gamer tag on Xbox was gameknight named after the Minecraft book series then when I moved to pc the name stuck around for a little bit on steam and eventually I wanted a silly placeholder name so it was SeΓ±orFlipFlop.

Well the most temporary fixes are often the most permanent solutions and with the exception of discord all my usernames now are some variation of flip flop with my gta rockstar name being Flippy-Flopp and planet side being FL1P1E5FL0P

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Because I discovered the Greenday album with the same name as a teenager about the time my family got the internet and also I gave a sleeping disorder. And I’m too lazy and uncreative to think of another.

[–] Pronell 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Made up the name Pronell Mordini for a MUD called Kaspelheim back in 1994. The game didn't last long but I've used it online since then.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
