What Do Your Usernames Mean? - Page 22 - Aircraft of World War II

snafud1 · 06-19-2009, 01:21 AM

...come up with your user name?
Didn't see a thread started about it(unless I missed it).
Mine is from my favorite saying by GI's in WWII. Situation Normal ALL F!@#$d Up. I seem to put myself in awkward situations in life( not intentionally mind you) so I consider myself the "SNAFU'd one" in the crowd. If ya feel this is too personal, no disrepect intended.

Mine has been a e-mail address since 1998. My middle name is Beau, dont know how I got power, it just sounded right. And 32 was my high school football number.

snafud1 · 06-19-2009, 01:37 AM

Cool. I like the sig too.

I liked the saying about CAVU.
Ceiling and Visibility Unlimited.

When i first started looking for a username Cavu had been taken I think so I had to come up with a variation that I liked.
Basically it's the wheels are up and your ceiling and visibility are unlimited.

The family and I were living out in the country in an old farmhouse with a small river just off the backyard. My neighbor had accidentally hooked a "mudpuppy" one day when he was fishing and it was huge, close to 2 feet long. Anyhoo, I was signing up for a flight sim forum not long after that and the pictures and research I'd done on this overgrown salamander was still fresh in my brain.

wheels up . Been a while since I heard flying language. I figured the cavu but missed the wheels up part.
Mudpuppy, that is very interesting info. I would liked to have seen a pic of that sucker.

imalko · 06-19-2009, 02:45 AM

In my case the username is simply derived from my name: Igor Malko = imalko
I was thinking for a while to adopt username MIg = Malko Igor. As you can see also derived from my name, but mig was already taken so I didn't want to use it and besides it would be confusing. Anyway "imalko" was my first username which I used when got to the internet first time years ago, so I just stick to that.

Famous actor John Malkovich is my relative did you now?
Just joking.

Not to spoil the fun, but it's already done. Here is the original thread:

Marcel, you fun killer. lol, im just joking. Thanks for pointing us in the right direction.

BikerBabe · 06-19-2009, 04:45 AM

Well, in case you haven't noticed, I have a certain fondness (- if not to say a slightly rabid obsession!

) with certain motorcycles made by a german factory, hence the "Biker"-part.
"Babe" is slightly ironic, as there usually isn't much "babe"-like about me when in my everyday-/work clothes.
I can look really nice and "user friendly" if I have to go out and put on a nice dress/outfit - but I prefer to be myself.

And I know that the word "Biker" usually means your average guy with leather gear, Harley, beer, rock and chicks - I like the rock 'n roll part, you can keep the rest as far as I'm concerned.

imalko · 06-19-2009, 05:00 AM

I don't see any problem with this. Just let one of the moderators merge this thread with the older one and there you have it...

lesofprimus · 06-19-2009, 05:13 AM

Done and combined both threads....

lingo · 06-19-2009, 06:12 AM

My username on here is lingo but on another forum I'm lingodog, as that's the name for a forward air controller (directing aircraft onto targets just beyond the FEBA or forward edge of the battle area) which is a job I had when in the service. For some reason I wasn't allowed to call myself lingodog here. My given name is Glyn.

Doughboy · 06-19-2009, 07:45 AM

I chose Doughboy becuase America's soldiers in WWI were called "Doughboys".

diddyriddick · 06-19-2009, 10:32 AM

I use the same username for everything.

diddy=my daughter's name for me-it was never daddy.
riddick=my name.

diddyriddick has a certain rhythm...don't you think?
