What does your user name mean?

[Touring Mars]

I should probably add that the bit about visiting chocolate factories was a joke, and is not a euphemism. I do love Mars' products however, deep fried or otherwise.

 

[GT_Prologue5]

But that's so clever, and yet it makes perfect sense. Sorry, but I'm amazed.

 

[CTznOfTime]

CtznOfTime = Citizen of Time
1) I took this name because it was the title of one of my most favorite CD of all time...
2) Because throughout my past, i have never really considered any country on this earth to be my own, therefore as a Citizen of Nowhere, OR rather a Citizen of Time, i only belong to a certain time in space. And because i dont believe in territories... bring out the ugly side of people...
3) I have had this name in different websites for a long long time now, and used it everywhere... got used to it, and like it enough to make it my own.

 

[LizMcQueen]

I think mine doesn't need an explanation, right?

 

[Neal]

You're Steve's granddaughter?

 

[astrosdude91]

CtznOfTime = Citizen of Time

Whenever I read your username, I always read it as "Sizznot of Time." Don't know why.

 

[LizMcQueen]

You're Steve's granddaughter?

Of course!

This is interesting, in a game/forum about cars everyone see McQueen and automatically think Steve McQueen (or Lightning McQueen if you are too young or you have no film culture).
Well, it's my real name, but in part, I chose it thinking that too.

 

[ObtuseChicken]

I have no idea.

 

[GT_Prologue5]

 

[Vince_Fiero]

I have no idea.

Maybe we should help

Obtuse = slow or unwilling to understand sth
Chicken = a large bird that is often kept for its eggs or meat

So

I have no idea

is the perfect answer for you.

 

[Daniel]

or.. Lazy poultry!!

 

[TopHat]

I don't even know what this dumb name means anymore.

Something about a dumb sentient cheese in a top hat...

 

[Kubalivre]

Hi, I'm a drink. I suppose you know how I'm made.

 

[TB]

Shaken?

 

[Diego440]

Hi, I'm a drink. I suppose you know how I'm made.

actually, it's Cuba Libre

 

[Kubalivre]

actually, it's Cuba Libre

Here in Portugal, and in other european countries I've visited, it's almost universally spelled as I corrupted it. Dunno why, it always appears like this. You're quite right, though.

It's a fancy name for rum and coke.

 

[Dan_]

I'm not sure if the Cuba Libre was actually invented in Cuba, but as far as Cuba is a socialist country, you can mess up with the drink name as much as you want, it's yours too after all.

Truly a worker's paradise. Drinks on the federal government!

It's because v and b make the same sound. Habana = Havana, but in english that b/v sound is just b.

 

[Diego440]

You're both right and wrong. Rum & Coke is actually just rum & Coke. The real Cuba Libre is (white) rum, coke, lemon and Angostura bitters. It irks me when people have rum & coke and refrain from the lemon twist, which really adds flavor to the drink. In Spain it's called (coloquially) Cubata.

@Omnis: Actually, in Spanish the B and the V sound differently. It's just when spoken fast (as most Latin Americans do) that they can be mistaken as the same letter. Common misconception of the Spanish derivation.

And it seems I've over-scienticized the term now.

 

[Kubalivre]

Haha, no problem, that was brilliant. I'm kinda disappointed now, though, because I don't recall if I've ever had it with any kind of bitter. I'm sure that I haven't in my homemade mixtures, neither in my regular places.

@ Omnis - I meant mostly the 'k' for the 'c' and the agglomeration of the word.

 

[Diego440]

Just use a couple of drops, mind you. I remember when I was about 15 and decided to chug it down because I knew it had alcohol in it and almost gagged to death.

 

[dxm8975]

Mine means the RUF YellowBird as you're probably aware, I took it because I like the car very much.

 

[Kakumaki]

I choose mine just for the sound and because I like Japan, then I just know searching on the web that the japanese traduction of kakumaki can mean three things: a part of a knife/blade handle, the name of a japanese dish and a kind of cloak.

[Vince_Fiero]

kakumaki can mean three things: a part of a knife/blade handle, the name of a japanese dish and a kind of cloak.

I hoped there was more behind that Kakumaki , certainly with your old avatar.

With the 3 meanings I guess you can talk your way about any discussion around your name.

 

[lpb-nissan-gt-r]

MM cake looks nice.

 

[Beerz]

Mine's pretty straightforward: Beerz = multiple beers

Used to be Beerzgood back in the ole days (almost 7 years ago, now that I think of it), pretty straightforward username too.
I'm basic.

 

[Brend]

Go figure!

 

[m00ndancer]

Mine is an old name from my roleplaying days (DnD 2:ed). The character was a Magician if I remember right. (Still have the character sheet somewhere.... hmm) and it also tells you that I'm a night person.

That is probably THE best sounding username I have heard. I love it.
