How did you come up with your Mumsnet username?

[Fiddlesticks1]

I’m so intrigued by the user names on here. Some are just so funny.
Mine is derived from my Grandma saying it.
How did you come up with your user name?

I was going through PPD at felt I had lost myself, someone recommended MN to me for support.

Said by my flatmates parent when they lent us a piece of furniture which I called a sideboard...."it's not a sideboard, it's a chuffing cupboard".
It was known as the chuffing cupboard for years.

Because it’s true

DGD’s name for me when she was a toddler.
I’m English, and weirdly am taller than her (Greek) Yiayia .

Edited to add : it means “Little Grandma”.

Because l holiday abroad a lot ( Suitcase).. and l keep secrets very well.
( l do have two other names).

The hot summer of 1976 aged 4: Whilst lying on my back on the pavement wiggling my arms and legs in the air as I pretended to be an upturned beetle my sister asked me if I was a girl beetle or a boy beetle “A boiled beetle” I replied.

@Boiledbeetle - I’d often puzzled over your MN name , thanks for explaining !

I usually use something that I have seen on a MN thread which makes me laugh - or something ludicrous from a long-running troll thread.

Usually typos/malapropisms, but in this case it was about "weirdest things you have seen on a house viewing".

I change mine frequently. Usually two random words and if that's taken I'll do a spin on that.

Well isn't Tarkan a cutie 😍

He uses this is his books too, so funny.

Mine is my latest NC, was sitting in the garden and saw the butterfly bush and well they were loving it

Gilmore Girls

I took a long hiatus from Mumsnet and couldn't remember my old user name. This one seems to describe the tangent that is my brain.

Mines Scar Tissue, though my ringtone is currently Snow (hey oh)

My granny would say 'oh christ, it's Fanny by Gaslight' about anyone she didn’t like 😂 I added by Govan because it seems there's another Fannybygaslight on here. Govan is a place in Glasgow.

I name change regularly and just pick anything random

I suffer from a nervous disposition and I make cakes

I’m a lawyer and I like wine

A line from Stranger Things that I use regularly when I ask one of the kids why/what they’re doing. Complete with Vecna voice

I joined MN a while back shortly after the long slog of losing 6st. I considered that a win.

Just this really! Was surprised it was available.
