Reading the threads and sometimes the usernames are very funny! Mine is exceedingly dull; I'd just found out I was pregnant and had a question for the pregnancy board - hence being scared and new.

Tonight (whilst waiting for said baby to go the F to sleep!) I am laughing at needascarfformygiraffe.

So indulge/entertain a sleep deprived zombie - what's your name and where does it come from?

Like that FourThingsAndALizard

I'm a fan of the Guardian cryptic crossword and mine is a clue from Arucaria (and I like the fact the answer's rebelled)

I just got Sirchenjin^ reading this thread and making myself really really think about it Blush

Mine is from The Incredibles, me and the kids say it a lot in the Edna voice, and we say it with other things now too;
"DS do you want juice?"
"No! No juice!"
Etc etc.
Drives DP crazy Grin

It's about the only house rule I have - kept finding the fuckers buried in bowls of pesto pasta, or one memorable occasion, inside a cunting croissant DCs are twats

CobblerBob · 04/03/2016 20:53

although i did want to change to CoProducerTinyVisconti

Mines fairly boring, dd2 loved the nursery rhyme and went for a variant of it.

My favourite nn is cunnyfunt

My love of the manic street preachers. Love the song especially Nicky singing the line "brain dead motherfuckers" over and over again.

TitsForBrains · 04/03/2016 21:19

I have enormous norks and had many years of men talking to my chest and assuming I am stupid. Smile

dontpokethebear · 04/03/2016 22:52

Mine is a homage to dd who is a complete tyrant. If she is happy, we will go to extraordinary lengths not to upset her the little brat. The two ds weren't like this

My favourite nn has got to be OhTheHugeManatee Grin

Being a Shakin' Stevens fan inspired my username. I've been a fan since 1980 and had to endure ridicule from many people!

I was a massive Star Trek fan so I picked this obscure character from Voyager. I like it because it has double meanings to me, I also like to think of myself as having a positive charge.

Snowwhiteandrosered · 05/03/2016 07:17

Mine is from my favourite Ladybird book as a child. But I like the nns Maidofstars, Fanjoforthemammaries and Dawndonnaagain. Hopefully I've dispelled them all correctly.

magratsflyawayhair · 05/03/2016 08:56

Another Pratchett one. My theatre company are doing Wyrd Sisters later in the year and I'm angling to play Magrat Grin

thesockgap · 05/03/2016 09:53

It's a running joke from the classic early 2000s comedy Coupling. Basically if a man doesn't take his socks off before his trousers, he's missed the sock gap and he's "a naked man in socks" - still makes me laugh 15 years later!

Piemernator · 05/03/2016 10:51

I love pie
I love the Terminator films
I love shooting stuff when I game

CaptainWarbeck · 05/03/2016 11:13

Right can someone please explain SirChenJin's name, I'm racking my brains here!

RueMatisme · 05/03/2016 11:23

Search engine :o

I chose this because I like alpacas. And picnics. And I thought it was terribly clever!

Before this I was TastesLikePanda, A play on the assumption that every white meat tastes like chicken. What if it actually tasted like something else? Something so unusual that nobody should know what it tastes like? Also, DH had a shirt 'advertising' panda burgers with the slogan "they're not just rare, they're almost extinct!"
