What does your screen name mean?

[Alzarine]

I loved the book when I read it. I'm always one to root for the underdog (in this case the underhorse)....... no one else had the name so I adopted it. :)

[suefalls]

Suefalls= I live in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and figured this is the feminine version of it.

[Copper10-8]

Come and git me, copper!!

 

 

-muah ha ha ha ha ha!!-

 

 

 

:D

 

Hey Jersey dude aka chicken plucker! :D Long time no see! You take care now!

[BCEagle78]

BCEagle78 - Describes me... I graduated from Boston College in 1978....

 

Now you know more than you wanted, you can probably guess my age ....

[SpuddGirl]

It's how one pronounces "Oregon". ORE-ree-gun. Not Ah-ruh-gun, Ah-ruh-gone, and definitely not Ora-gone.:D

 

I had to laugh, Ore-ee-gun, when I read this....I spent several years living in different parts of Oregon, and now live in the Midwest. When people out here call it Ora-gone and I try to correct them - in jest of course - (ore-ee-gun, as your name), I usually get..."no, no, its Ora-gone...!" I guess its like trying to beat a dead horse.....but it always makes me laugh!

Maybe its just that Midwestern accent people seem to think we have out here!;)

[saltydog28]

My daughter told me -Mom don't use your real name-and I found picking a name rather hard. The dog was beside me and I thought nautical and he was born on the 28th.

 

Bramcruiser--I thought you picked that name because you liked Dracula.

 

Pat.

[bobpatj]

This is very obvious! We're Bob & Pat, last name starts with J. This screen name followed us here from AOL.

[WISCruiser]

Mines a play on con-joining words...

 

WISC (old abbreviation for State of Wisconsin) and

Cruiser (that I love cruising, both in my USN days and now civilian).

[RustaRoo]

A friend started calling my cat, Rusty, by the affectionate 'RustaRoo'. Rusty pretty much runs my life anyway, so why not use reference to him? :p Easy to remember and I'm lickable, er, likable too:D LOL

[janisutx]

Janis my first name and utx stands for University of Texas ex.

[Seas the Day]

Seas the Day = Sieze the Day = Carpe Diem

 

Don't let life pass you by. If you want to cruise, do it. If you want to live, do it well.

[raadsel]

It's actually you-gee-miner. I work at an underground gold mine. And I agree, how do people manage to slaughter something as easy as oregon.Only thing worse is some of the ways they try to say our last name.:confused:

I don't know, growing up I could never understand why people has such problems with Sapulpa, Bartlesville, or Tahlequah. Okay, maybe I could undestand Tahlequah. ;) I could also not understand how people could pronounce Sequim (s'kwim) or Puyallup (pyūăl'əp); much less Worcestershire (ˈwʊs.təˌʃə) or Gloucester (glŏs'tər, glô'stər) from the spellings. I suppose much of it is perspective and what you grow up with.

[kaleighsgram]

Vic, I kind of like "Vic the Chicken Plucker".....It has a bit of a ring to it and I bet it's available.:p

[mariner]

Well let's see. I live at the shore in NJ and go out sailing.

 

It actually was my ``handle'' in CB radio days. Didn't know the first time that I sailed HAL that there would be a Society of Mariners.

[booboo29]

Booboo29 goes back to before I was born. Ma and Pa weren't quite ready to have children so I was referred to as "Boo Boo" for quite some time.:rolleyes: I think the 29 comes from that fact I was 29 when I started using that as a internet login.

[dixieagle]

Interesting question! Mine refers to the fact that I am a Boston College Eagle living in the South ("dixie".)

 

Marie

[beijobeijo]

mine means " kiss kiss" in portuguese

[fridayeyes]

When we were courting, my husband looked deeply into my eyes and tried to call me 'Green Eyes' in Spanish, which is 'ojos verdes'. Alas, what he said was 'ojos viernes', which is 'Friday Eyes'. I giggled, the moment was ruined and the name stuck. It's been my SN for about 14 years.

[luvgreys]

Luvgreys,

My husband and I have adopted to ex-racing Greyhounds, and I love them!:)

[hobbit81]

This has been an interesting thread. Intersting people. Mine comes from a nickname from high school. A guy I dated, taller than I was gave me the nick name. (I'm short but not that short) The number is when I graduated.:o

[lillulu]

Well, if you haven't guessed it...LilLulu comes from LittleLulu...the cartoon character...given too me by my parents when I was little.

 

The cartoon character was always in and out of trouble but mostly always in....welp....that would be me :p

[Mollynme]

My first dog - who was my baby for 13+ years - was Molly. So I became Mollynme from the line in "My Blue Heaven". You know - Just Mollynme, and baby makes 3...;)

[OldCodger73]

What! You can't guess?

[Gardyloo2]

Fun thread!

Mine comes from those things you buy in gift shops; it's a family joke. Many years ago, my dad coined the phrase, "cute little shopping" to describe what the ladies were going to do while on vacation.

You know, shoppers sigh over something saying, "oh, isn't that cute!" or "look at that little thing".

This is one of the few places I use it anymore. I don't buy much cute little stuff now, the house is too full! :D .

[BCEagle78]

Interesting question! Mine refers to the fact that I am a Boston College Eagle living in the South ("dixie".)

 

Marie

 

Go Eagles!!!!

 

Football season is only 5 months away!

 

Now that Boston College is in the ACC, being a "Dixie Eagle" you will have more chances to see the sports team in your neighborhood.
