to over think people's user names?

I normally just read posters comments, but I have become very drawn to people's user names. I won't single any out as that is probably inappropriate, but a lot of usernames are creating a real imagination and back story in my head (all good and positive and some a rude lol).

Does anyone else pay any attention to this or am I going through an odd phase?

BTW I enjoy KP snacks :)

Mines not saying a great deal about me is it 😂😂

Saltypeanuts · 08/10/2018 10:01

Miranda - that’s exactly what I would have said 😂

Banana 🍌, Sorry I chose to ignore the first part of your name it didn’t compute in my head

Eliza9917 - I see strong independent lady - I see someone dark and attractive- someone who is an individual

Shock Spot on pretty much!

I have no idea about my current one. It just popped in my head when I was changing it from Teasntoast. Tea was what I fancied when I changed it from streetlife and that was the song I had on when I made that one up. So maybe its whatever is my head. I’m still thinking about a shocking documentary I watched on the Manson family last night so if I change again I might be Mansonsnemisis or something. Not sure you could tell much about the real me from that though 😄Grin

SwarmOfCats · 08/10/2018 12:46

This is brilliant! Very intrigued to know what my username suggests!

Love the idea that they’d all make good horse names, too.

@Conseulabananahammock

Should've named myself CrapBag. GrinGrinGrin

SaltyPeanut · 08/10/2018 12:55

@CheekyFucker No, we haven't met and we aren't related.

If we were related maybe Saltypeanuts wouldn't have called me bro. Last time I looked there were definitely shirt potatoes and a lack of meat and two veg down there.

I don't like KP products either.

My name is nothing to do with peanuts at all.

It's my name because for some reason the scene in The Simpsons where Homer kisses Hans Moleman on the forehead and proclaims, "it's like kissing a peanut", tickles my DH so much that he went through a phase of saying it when he gave me a peck on the head as he passed by while I was working. One day I was a bit sweaty, he didn't care, still kissed me and said, " it's like kissing a peanut (pause) a salty peanut".

There that's my username origin.

THEsonofaBITCH · 08/10/2018 12:59

Hmmm, mine is pretty straight forward I think!

Bubbaduck · 08/10/2018 13:37

Mine has a stupid reason and it's nothing to do with ducks. I don't know if anyone will guess it though.

Conseulabananahammock · 08/10/2018 13:39

*metloboj yes!!

KellyanneConway · 08/10/2018 14:11

I'm definitely the real Kellyanne, no backstory. Don't tell Donald I'm on here will you?

SaltyPeanut · 08/10/2018 14:12

@Bubbaduck Convoy and a little one perhaps not being able to pronounce rubber? Or is my guess too out there.

1sttimeDD · 08/10/2018 14:14

@MissusGeneHunt Not the OP but your username tells me you have impeccable taste in men 🤣

NewGrandad · 08/10/2018 14:14

Mine is quite obvious.

Lemurville · 08/10/2018 14:17

Pretty please tell me what I’m like? 🦄

Penguin34 · 08/10/2018 14:19

I like penguins 🐧
I was 34 at the time.

I'm not very imaginative 😂

MissusGeneHunt · 08/10/2018 14:20

@1sttimeDD thank you... It must be hoops o'clock...😉😉

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 08/10/2018 14:26

Please do mine, Grin

VforVienetta · 08/10/2018 14:49

Do me! Do me! Brew

Bubbaduck · 08/10/2018 15:10

@SaltyPeanut - nope, even more stupid. I was watching The Babadook the last time I NCed but that name was gone, so I went for a more "accented" spelling of it. BlushGrin

SaltyPeanut · 08/10/2018 15:31

@Bubbaduck ahh, very inventive. I can see you are a person who knows how to get what they want when the odds are against them.
