I recently got told on a thread that my nickname suggests I wouldn't offer sympathy to fellow MNers. How do you think people perceive your name as reflecting your posting style, and do you think I should change mine?

I drink from other posters' skulls. And, on special occasions, make flutes out of their arms.

nomorecrumbs · 20/10/2013 15:48

That I'm a poo troll.

RubyGoat · 20/10/2013 16:01

That I'm constantly stepping on DD's toys.

LayMizzRarb · 20/10/2013 16:01

Ha Talc - think I told you in a pm ages ago, I thought your name came from the fact you were a turnip farmers wife surrounded by babies and Johnson's talcum powder Grin

What does my name say - that I lay around all day being miserable eating rhubarb?

Nah, I work with the London production, and people are always asking me how to pronounce it - there's your answer!

Shaky · 20/10/2013 16:10

I did used to have a crush on Shaky in my much younger years Halloween Grin

CosmicDespot · 20/10/2013 16:19

Ooh I've just namechanged a couple of days ago! My old NN (BitBewildered) was how I felt when I joined, having had a rather traumatic experience. Time has passed and I am back to being a bossy know-it-all.

SeaSickSal · 20/10/2013 16:25

That I like Sea Sick Sid and my name is Sally. That's it.

MamaBear17 · 20/10/2013 16:29

That I have no imagination. Bear was my dh's nickname for my bump. I am a mum. Hence, Mamabear.

Fuctifano · 20/10/2013 17:09

That I probably won't be any help with their enquiry.

Bunbaker · 20/10/2013 17:10

Thistroudeballeisinfire · 20/10/2013 17:14

that I have troubles with my anus...when I chose than name, I was farting like mad and it stank bad, really bad !

sapfu · 20/10/2013 17:14

That I constantly out-do myself in the field of catastrophic disasters.

sapfu · 20/10/2013 17:15

Which is true.

Booboostoo · 20/10/2013 17:15

I am "Booboos" in a variery of fora wanted to keep it so lamely added the "too" (I wonder if I first registered as "Booboos" on here only to forget about it, never seen the original "Booboos" on here).

It is supposed to be a varietion on a "booboo", as in a small injury, a word I didn't know until I went to live in the UK and then found incredibly funny (one of those things I suppose). I then Greekified it by adding the 's' and it became a nickname for pets and DP.

What I didn't know at the time is that there is a bit of a bf - ff thing going on on MN for some people and any name with a connection to boobs may be taken to relate to that.

I can't believe anyone took the turnip bait - sorry Talc (I'm with you, obv).

I had no idea what to call myself and put the area together with my name. No imagination.. Yes sums me up. :-(

ArgyMargy · 20/10/2013 17:22

But Sal, I thought it was Sea Sick Steve? Is there a Sid too?

TheDietStartsTomorrow · 20/10/2013 17:25

Yourebeingadick and Murder - thank you.

I think, once the diet starts, (which IS tomorrow, btw, - I know, I'm a stereotypical useless dieter and you're all rolling your eyebrows at me) I'll change my nick to something that's related... TheDietsFinallyUnderway.

I know. I have a wonderful imagination.

Mummyoftheyear · 20/10/2013 17:25

That I am either sickly arrogant or was frustrated at the time of choosing a name - and chose something in a moment of irritation.
(Latter is true ).
I really should change it but don't know how.

ProfondoRosso · 20/10/2013 17:27

That I think I'm profound or a magician.

In fact, Profondo Rosso is a scary, trashy Italian horror film from the 70s. And there's also a brilliant, v creepy shop in Rome called Profondo Rosso, owned by the film's director, Dario Argento. Smile

fluffyraggies · 20/10/2013 17:32

That my raggies are indeed pretty fluffy. (Rag Doll cats)

It was a name i picked a couple of years ago to post in the Litter Tray.

I used a different name before that and did intend to change back to it but could never be arsed Grin

AlexTurnersmicropone · 20/10/2013 17:36

That I have an inappropriate middle age crush Grin
