Just that really. What is the meaning behind/origin of your username?
I’ll go first: mine is based on the name of a holiday home I visited many years ago now.

This is an alias, I am a much more regular poster under another name. These are two things I wish I had in my study but I actually don't.

HorseTrouserOutlet · 08/11/2022 22:19

I change mine regularly, so no great thought. I think this one was inspired by someone saying that when drunk dimwit westerners chose Mandarin characters off the internet for a tattoo and thought they meant ‘courage’ or ‘strength’ or something, half the time it’s some nonsense like ‘Horse Trouser Outlet’.

A (plastic) dinosaur (wielded by dc1) ate my daffodils.

I'm usually pretty chilled, but upset me or threaten my child or pets and I'm a unleashed fury. :)

Macaroni1924 · 08/11/2022 22:22

When I first got with my DH he had a MySpace account and I went in and randomly changed the password to macaroni (no idea why this) because I was pissed off with him. We often played pranks on each other but I couldn’t stop laughing long enough to tell him because I was so embarrassed at the time My dad was there and can still remember his face, he had no idea what MySpace was and thought I was mental 😂The year is they year my late grandfather was born.

Mine is from Victoria Wood's 'the ballad of Barry and Freda' which I have fond memories of my mum chuckling away to...

This folly. Is jolly.

ABrotherWhoLooksLikeHellMugYou · 08/11/2022 21:13

Yoinked from a brilliant parking thread about 9 months ago. Located in, I believe, Hitchin.

Someone was described as having a brother who looks like he'll mug you and it tickled me.

This was a fabulous thread and my username was StEvenEdge for a while
