Drunk and wondering...(lighthearted)

[Midsommar]

...how you came up with your Mumsnet username?

I've seen some strange ones (one that stands out is JizzPigeon haha, strange is not a bad thing!) so I was curious as to how you came up with your names.

They were for me as I was young and carefree and no children! ( for lots of others it wasn't at all )
Even though the Tories and Mrs Thatcher were running the show , it was still a good time to be a teenager and no social media or internet either ( thank goodness!)

AnneTwacky isn't strictly a scouse mispronounciation for antique. It's scouse slang for old fashioned.

@HorridHamble I was terrified of that doll too

I've got a lakeland terrier, aka a "lakie" (used to have two). My neighbour was talking to some other dog owners who walk their dogs in the field near us, and they referred to me as "the lakie lady".

Gin!

It's delicious 🙂

It’s a book reference.

They filmed playschool in my school for a week....Hamble is indeed Horrid.

They left us a Humpty - the school hamster had at it

“AprilLudgate” was taken.

I had a dog. I was his mother.

My mum used to say this to indicate someone was a bit chaotic or a bit rough somehow.

Tried "barelyactive", that was taken, so this was the next best thing!

@AnathemaPulsifer

It’s a book reference.

And a damned fine book it is. (Do you see what I did there)

DH used to call our guinea pigs the "squiggles" or "squiggle pigs" so I borrowed it.

I'm a character from Grandpa in My Pocket from years ago when I had to watch endless episodes, kids are all teens now except one so it's quite old

Started off as noregretsatall but then I changed it as my children have flown the nest.... remember the TV cartoon Rugrats? Well I have no rugrats at all ... at home anyway! 😁

My favorite m and s sweets

Very outing but a friend genuinely thought ‘I shit you not’ was said this way because of the dog breed so it became our saying

You'll find me most active at dawn and dusk.

Its from the young ones, the one when they go on university challenge. Funniest episode imo.

Short for stoichiometry, which is a word I use quite a lot at work.

I change usernames quotes frequently - last few before this were types of toad.

Im Scottish and I am a mum known in Scotland as a maw.

I should actually be "Bono's Sigh" but MN doesn't allow apostrophes in user names.

I listen to a lot of U2 and Bono really sighs a lot.

My favourite song by the Arctic Monkeys.

From the film Donnie Darko. If anyone is familiar with the reference
