The Meaning of Your Handle

[Sargeant StiffCock]

Remember when Paul from IT started a thread like this a while back about how everyone came-up with their handles? I loved reading everyones' story and with so many new members amongst us I thought it might be fun.

Sargeant StiffCock was born when I was sitting in the office one day and a co-worker was talking on the phone to his buddy about this guy who they had nicknamed SSC. I was actually looking for a name to register on TERB with at that moment. The name fit me(the second part anyway) so I took it:D

[gramage]

gramage was juts something a guy I used to work with started calling me for no real reason. My name is Graham and he got bored with calling me that so he desided that my new name was gramage. Eventually a bunch of other people there also started calling me gramage, so when I had to think up handles gramage made sense.

[Private Dick]

Easy for me, I am a Private Investigator, so Private Dick came pretty easy!

[xyphy]

I needed something different, my mom has a cat that has a small protrusion of cartilage on it's chest. this is called a xyphoid complex. my mon named the cat xyphy. it seemed funny at the time to use the name of my mom's pussy.
hehehe

[zx13]

Absoluelty nothing = totally annonimity.

Random alphanumeric assembly that is short and easy to remember :-)

And here I am thinking you like the zx cars and you got number 13 off the line.;)

[Squatting Tiger]

Four years ago I discovered that my Chinese Horoscope sign was the Tiger (as 1998 was also the year of the Tiger). And I was reading my actual horoscope while sitting on the "throne". When Shhhhhazam! It hit me like a load of bricks. I will for ever after be known to my internet brethren and sistren as Squatting Tiger.

Really though, it's from one of my favorite movies of the recent past, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. One of the best mainstream kung-fu movie ever made.

[turtle]

I gusse mine came from the fact that I''m alway''s the last to do stuff I should be doing and I have a very hard shell.I my be slow sometimes but alway''s there sooner or later.:D

[Oh_Henry]

Mine came when I had an appointment at Allure with Brandy.
When the receptionist asked for my name the only thing that came to mind was Henry (I just heard a news item in the car about prince Henry).

Anyway when Brandy came she exclaimed a couple of times Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh...Henrieee!

So when I reviewed her later I became Oh_Henry. My previous handle had been Happy Dick and before that Cunning Linguist.

[Robert Deniro]

Mine is my favorate actor of coarse.''Little bit'' @ ''I heard things''.:cool:

Doesn't that Polish motorcycle manufacturer Kowalski make a bike called the ZX13? Or was that a ZX 11?

[Cave Carson]

This thread belongs in the Lounge! Fred, you should move it!

I'm a big fan of Silver Age DC comic magazines and I thought that the Cave Carson handle would lend itself to plenty of double entendres!

[MuffinMuncher]

Actually this name did not originate from the most obvious source... yes I love DATY, but I had a girlfriend in college who was a bit of a prude. She couldnt say pussy... called it her "monkey" or her "cookie". Couldnt say cock or dick, it was my "thingie"... you get the idea.

One night her roommate was making fun of how butch the girls' basketball team looked... accused them of being a bunch of rug munchers... and my girlfriend got all offended and said....

"... couldnt you at least call them muffin munchers?"

[Cardinal Fang]

Love the character from the Python series and besides....know one expects the spanish enquisition.

[Cardinal Fang]

God my spelling sucks!!!

Try it again.....no one expects the spanish inquisition!

[Bill4r]

Bill4r = built for romanace

or

I pay Bill ($$$$) for romanace


one way or the other I love romance

I used to tell my SPs and MPAs that my name is Bill, but ever since I joined TERB, I have changed my name for obvious reason.


:)

[MWC]

Nice thread.

It is always interesting to get a glimps into the inner thoughts of fellow Trebites...

I use to call myself Man with Canon because I am an amature photographer. The "Canon" as in the camera company.

One day I realized that many people have been misunderstanding the meaning of the name.
So, I changed it to MWC.

Beside, I don't want to brag... :D

[Cardinal Fang]

Oh no....of course not!!!

[mrpolarbear]

My name came from the way my sis in law was razzing me. when i first started coming to Canada for the xmas holidays i would tell her i think i'll do the polar bear dip when the time came i would say ah maybe next year and she would call me a wimp. i finnally got tired of it and one year i fiinally went and did it . she told me hey your not a wimp anymore now your a fucking idiot. ive been doing it now for the last 10 years and i think its a great way to start off the new year. the only bad thing about it is if i have too pee when i get out i have to sit down, but its for a good cause. now on new years day she has to adress me as mrpolarbear.

[Girlwatchr]

I think the origin of my name is fairly obvious. My first adult entertainment experience was watching at the much missed "Le Strip". The missing vowel is more a result of poor typing than originality.

[Yorky]

My first MP experience was at 50 Yorkville. I went back a few days later only to find it closed. As a tribute, I chose Yorky as my handle.

[specter]

Specter is of course the name of the crime syndicate that James Bond fought against all those years. I used to love the way Connery would say it with that Scottish accent. And being another way of referrring to a ghost or apparition it seems kinda of appropriate for a mysterious type of handle.

specter

[Stoo]

I feel so 'un-original'. It's just my name. Sort of.

[Stoo]

Besides, when I spell it correctly... Stu... the Word dictionary changes it to 'Stud' all the time... so I had to change the spelling since it made for awkward closings on letters etc.

[johnhenrygalt]

From the character in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, one of my 5 favourite books. I added the "henry" in the middle from one of the other characters in the novel, Hank Reardon.

[Shades]

Seemed appropriate to the shadow world that we hobbyists operate in.....originally came from another nickname I used in a previous visit to this planet...shades of blue.
Cheers

[Goober Mcfly]

(Cardinal Fang should get this...)

The Lady of the Lake,...
[angels sing]
...her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I was to carry the name Goober McFly.
[singing stops]
That is why I am your king!

Seriously, I don't know where it came from. Goober is whatever, and McFly probably comes from the few brain cells retaining information about the Back to the Future movies. Probably.

[revolver]

If memory serves, Goober was a character in the old Andy Griffith show. McFly was a character in Back To The Future. I know, nothing to do with you, but that's what came to mind the first time I saw your handle.

Mine, all the good ones were taken, so I just took the title of my favourite record album.

[BWKK]

BWKK = The Bastard Who Killed Kenney" from South Park

[Why Not?]

Goober:

Strange women, lying in ponds, distributing swords is no method for determining a handle. lol

Wasn't that Goomer Pyle?:)

I thought Goober was from the Greman GO-UBER .

[Bedumdedum]

Bedumdedum

I'm a boob-man....
I was watching a Bo Derek movie with some friends. I can't remember if it was 10, Tarzan or Bellero. Anyways, there's a part where she runs topless on the beach. I made the observent comment, "If those boobs were a percussion instrument, they'd be saying 'bedumdedum'."

My buddies picked up on it and started calling me Bedumdedum or Bed for short.

[Harley]

Not too difficult:

My real name, and my mode of transportation...in warmer days.

[Goober Mcfly]

GOOBER: Be quiet!
WHY NOT?: Well, but you can't expect to wield supreme handle power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
GOOBER: Shut up!
WHY NOT: I mean, if I went 'round saying I was "Why Not?" just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
GOOBER: Shut up, will you? Shut up! *pulls out his beating stick*
WHY NOT: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.
GOOBER: Shut up!
WHY NOT: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being repressed!
GOOBER: Bloody peasant!
WHY NOT: Oh, what a give-away. Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about. Did you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn't you?

Nope. It was Gomer Pyle. Goober was in the Andy Griffith show.

[Goober Mcfly]

Because Popo Bawa the Sodomizing Ghost of Zanzibar was taken already.

[Cardinal Fang]

Cardinal Fang

1. Sounds silly and somewhat dangerous.
2. Is a character invented by some of the funniest men ever.
3. It was my nickname and alter ego in school.
4. I've always wanted to be part of the Spanish Inquisition.
5. Someone already spoiled the handle Alien!

[blofeld]

Ernst Stavro Blofeld: nemesis to James Bond, Agent 007. one time leader of SPECTRE (SPecial Executive for Counterintelligence Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion)

[DenWa]

DenWa...don't really know... Derivative of my real name. Some friends call me this - or DenWardo, or Obi-DenWa-nobi...DenWa Balls...

When I first chose the name some folks assumed I was Asian...I'm not.

[Goober Mcfly]

I thought your name was to do with what a stupid person having sex for the first time:

Gal: Okay, put your dink in here.
Guy: Okay, den wa?

[Meesh]

:rolleyes:

[Cardinal Fang]

For those of you just tuning in. DenWa and Goober have yet to finish the fight they started yesterday. When we last left them DenWa was putting the boots to himself (FIGHT CLUB STYLE) while Goober was hiding in erchat.

On a more relevant note. I would like to know how TROOPS got his handle?

[DenWa]

DenWa thinks me and Goober should kick a certain red-robed instigator's ass...whatcha think, McFly?

DW

[TravellingGuy]

TravellingGuy ... need I say more?

[Goober Mcfly]

Originally posted by DenWa

[Troops]

I chose 'Troops' because everytime i saw this word reading the papers regarding the wars, the two 'o's in Troops reminded me of a pair of tits.

[widowmaker]

Widowmaker? Fairly self explanatory I would say. (Narrated in the voice of James Earl Jones).

[widowmaker]

Ok. Just kidding. Actually that name is probably the opposite of who I really am and yet all of us I believe have a dark side, so since we can be anything here I am my own alter ego.

[jaded]

Jaded ,also self explanatory.A certain dancer I keep on getting involved with keeps in this state of mind.

[Lloyd]

Second syllable of nickname given to me in high school. I just changed the spelling somewhat. Nickname has no real meaning other than it was given me given by best friend.

Lloyd.

[DenWa]

Van Halen Rocks and always will...if you're a dinosaur then I'm right there with you...Rock On Brother!!

i'M LEFT HANDED. fifi was a sweet french chick I saw for 15 minutes on Mt. Royal... man what an experience that was! Sorry, I got off topic.

Oh shit...
You guys aren't using your real name?
Doh!

[IB_VI_UB_IX!!!]

My answer is simple. I"M A PERV!
soooooooo.....
IB VI UB IX????

[The_Jaded_One]

Because I can be extremely jaded about certain things in life. It's not a fun state of mind, at times.

Oh, and there was a certain MPA (http://www.geocities.com/hfh_report/HOF.html) who to this day still remains my best all around MPA experience.

I was going to call myself pool, but it was already taken

[eyeofthedragon]

mine has to do with tattoos i have and a book im hoping to finish one of these years

[V12]

V12? Shit, I know there was a reason. It was well thought out and said something very deep and yet ethereal. Maybe it was 4 more veggies in my drink, or Jags, or the number of planets orbiting Vega (but no one knows that), or the age I lost my virginity. When I remember I'll repost - if I remember to.

V12

[wooly110]

My handle is my nickname that people call me. It's kind of a spin off of my last name. That, and I used to have hair on my head that was long and curly, like wool on a sheep, when the name started.

I miss those days.....:(

[Malibook]

One of the places we used to frequent was the Fairbank hotel.
Some of the Philippinos used to call us Malibook, which means horny in Tagalog.
We started calling each other Malibook, sort of like how everyone in the Q continuum is called Q.
My strip club alias is Mario (as in Lemieux) so I often tell dancers that my name is Mario Malibook.
Some of them look at me kind of funny when one of the bartenders calls out my real name.
I am thinking of changing my strip club alias to MiaNOmore, but this may be too many syllables for use in a strip club.
Just kidding ladies.

[xarir]

When I first joined, I wanted a name that was unique yet somehow intriguing. I also wanted to maintain anonymity - something I'm a little less up tight about these days. So ...

Xarir - it's cool, it's unique, and no one knows what the heck it means which just adds to the anonymity factor.

[Fitz67]

...I needed to pick a name I could remember when I log in, so....

....Fitz - my mother's maiden name
....67 - the year I was born

(Hope my brother isn't lurking here, else my cover is blown for sure)

[notdedyet]

When I first discovered this forum I was sure I must be the
oldest horndog interested in these matters, so apologetically....

I've since been to a couple of parties. ;)

[wop]

Because I am.

[Dancerfan]

In my case my name is self explanatory,when i first got on the internet there was a website devoted to strip clubs called "torontostripper.com" so when i wanted to post there about something strip club related i needed a "handle" and since ive always been a great "fan of exotic dancers" I felt "dancerfan" was appropriate..........

[submissivedave]

Well, my real name is David and I am sexually submissive hence Submissivedave ...

[zog]

...except that it's easy to remember and no one else uses it.

Zog.

P.S. I'm thinking of changing it to Xog, just for variety.

[chris123]

Normally put '123' after name as Chris is usually taken on boards. It is bloody boring, though. Thinking of changing it.

[HowardHughes]

I don't live in a casino, I shave, cut my nails, and have regular haircuts. It is my other nickname that was given to me by friends because of my varied business interests. My other nickname is Scottish, and plays off of my actual name, so I won't give that one out!

[SeaToSky]

I like the natural sceneries and hiking. Sea-to-Sky highway is a fairly scenic highway in BC, and there're lots of hiking trails along the road. It's not the most scenic highway I've been to but I like the name.

[40plus]

My handle has to do with my age - although I must admit that I am also partial to women of that type of bust :)

[Maddog]

My old university nickname - it stuck.

I know this thread has been done before, but what the hell. For those of you with handles that are not quite so obvious and are willing to share, explain away.

As for mine, it is the best song by the best group in the history of the universe, for ever and ever, amen! (For all you Britney and Justin fans out there, that would be LED ZEPPELIN).

[thecoolguyms72]

Isn't mine fairly self explanatory?

[ycghiydvo]

My grandfather used to tell me the saying that appears below, and that is the handle that I chose, the first letter of each word.

I picked it because, as every knows by now, I am new to this, and I am just starting my journey.... and I am hoping it is a long, long one....

derived from "kumamayo" meaning your mama's pussy, whick in swahili is kinda harsh to tell someone, so kumamake is like swearing at the third party.

but then is was used so much that we when we were younger we started to use it in sentences that were complmentary.
IE when we would go watch a soccer game and someone would score a nice goal, you would hear people say" kumamake , did u see that goal"

[Darkest_Grey]

I wanted to lurk around the adult boards, but still be kinda anonymous, so I went with something neutral. When I needed an email account, I needed a first name, and 'dark' was taken. In retrospect, I should have gone with something less psycho-killer sounding.

[ackack]

When I needed a name to join I couldn't think of anything. Ackack is just from that science fiction comedy, don't remember now of course! Invaders From Mars from the 90s, I think. That's what the aliens sound like when they're speaking. I thought it was a funny sound. Jack Nicholson was President, with Sarah Jessica Parker and others.

He's under the haystack,
Fast Asleep.
Will you wake him?
No, not I,
For if I do
He's sure to cry.

[Zatarra]

One of my favorite movies is "The Count of Monte Cristo".

The "Count" was named Zatarra when he sailed with pirates. In Latin it means driftwood. I think of driftwood as easy-going and unsinkable.

A flower that blooms only at night - Though sunlight and warmth are beautiful and comforting, the blanket of darkness provides a unique inspiration. There is a certain energy that fills the night - it is a thing of mystery, a symbol of the unknown, the forbidden, the foreboding, a place where worlds collide.

[Ross Eyerie]

Anybody who speaks Arabic should get a hoot out of mine... it's a joke that kinda loses something in the translation.

'Ross' means 'head' in English and 'eyerie' means 'penis' so this is how the joke goes....

(Speaking Arabic): "Ana shouftoo la Ross ilyowmm! Be salim alike."
(Translation): "I saw Head today! He told me to say 'hi' to you."

(Speaking Arabic): "Ross?? Ross mein?"
(Translation): "Head?? Head Who?"

(Speaking Arabic): "Ross Eyerie!"
(Translation): "The head of my penis!"

ROTFLMAO!

(It's a lot funnier if you understand Arabic... like I said it loses something in the translation.)

[The Truman Show]

I'm part of the media and The Truman Show (besides being one of my favourite movies) illustrates the media at its exploitive best ...

[Manji]

Manji is the Buddhist version of the Swastika. Manji (whirlwind) represents (dharma) harmony and the balance of opposites or fluidity of the universe and the foundation of life.

I actually took the name from a comic character from a Japanese Manga (or comic) called Blade of the Immortal. Its a modernized tale set in midieval Japan that follows a girl and her protector as she tries to complete her revenge against a swordfighting school that killed her parents. Pretty action packed, well written and amazing art.

Just want to make it clear that I am not Indian (not that there is anything wrong with that) . I got a few PMs asking if I was Indian and I just want to say I am not!

[FreakyFriday]

I had a flashback of trooping down to the gym in grade school and watching Disney movies. My brain then led me to think of cute Hayley Mills. A little while later I realized Jodie Foster was in Freaky Friday; Hayley Mills was in the Parent Trap. Oh well,... right movie, wrong actress.

It's also more of a statement of my current wish for more of a life... new to TO and work is demanding.

[Shades]

aspects of personality can be coloured in many shades, participation in this hobby and on this board is but one of the shades

[antaeus]

strongest man in the world. One of the (disputed) labours of Hercules.

Seems to come up again and again in my life. Many years ago, I spent a few weeks helping a friend who quit school in G9, ill parents, to run the farm. Very nice guy, and at 15 he had a full beard so used to pull beer for us. Part way thru the week he says "Wow, I didn't think you'd be much help but you're like Antaeus". Him not being the sharpest tool in the shed, I was impressed with his knowledge of the classics. A few weeks later he killed himself.

Used to be a cologne called Antaeus. First one I ever bought, showered in it, hoping to knock out the ladies.

Once on a long road trip with my car-sick prone nephew I asked him to pick a subject and I'd tell him a story. Who's the strongest man in the world, he asked. I told him the story of Antaeus' battle with Hercules and it kept him uncar-sick for the whole trip.

I had just seen the movie "Myra Breckenridge" the nite before and John Huston's character was called Buck Loner. Since I get called Buck occasionally (after Uncle Buck, resemblance to John Candy apparently) thought it was cool - the confused message of the movie not-with-standing.

Supposedly a philosophy professor gave his students an essay exam. The essay question? 'Why?' The smart-ass student in the class provided the most appropriate answer:'because'. Just too Zen to pass up.

He could have answered 'why not?' But that would just be silly...

[playw/respect]

Just wondering how did you guys pick your terb handles, any specific meaning behind it? I found some of them very interesting, for examples:

"Oil Please" - Does he need more lube when doing it?
"Phnine" - Does he live in Penthouse No.9? If so, I know where he lives lol
"Steviewonder" - Is he really Stevie Wonder?

For me, I always respect others, especially to SPs because without them, life will not be so much fun. Also, I always play with respect, that includes good hygenie, no unreasonable demands and a sincere "thank you" after each session.

What about you guys?

[oagre]

Mine's really ancient. I made it up in 1999 before TERB existed. I had just gotten a new computer with internet and I found this review board site which covered NYC and attempted to have some regional sub-boards. (This board never really caught on o/s NY/NJ). I had to think up a name quickly and all the guys had names like troll or goblin. So I chose ogre and decided to deliberately mis-spell the name just to be a moron. Thus, "oagre".

I just kept using it when TERB started up.

[Fabulous]

I've been fabulous all my life, so thought it would only be appropriate!

[champ]

I went to Ireland in 1992 with an Irish friend and two buddies.

In the South of Ireland the girls (at that time anyway) were still very Catholic. Very little hanky panky. I was as frisky as a tomcat and it was driving me nuts!

My Irish friends brother was a part-time horse breeder in the North on his parents farm. His Dad would bankroll him to raise fancy shmancy horses and he's go to the continent to sell them and party for a couple of months.

Anyway ...

He promised me that when we got to his parent in the north that he would set me up with this dirty, wealthy Protestant girl he knew from horse breeding who put out. We went out with her and her pals one night and the next thing I know I am in a hotel room right on the Irish Sea called the Slieve Donnard in County Down. She was very hot (honestly) and I banged the doors off of her.

The next night we went out to the pub and of course my friends are on her asking what I was like in the sack. Finally she relented and said in a sexy Irish brogue:

"Oh Jayz ... your man was a Champ"!

Ever since they've called me ...

I was inspired to my handle when I first lurked here. This dude "Calloway" caught my eye. Instantly, an old Bugs Bunny cartoon came to mind, the one where he gets an apple on the head. Anyway, Bugs rambled on how he had friends, such as Duke of Earl, Cab of Calloway, Sir ossis of Liver, Sir Loin of Steak, etc. Picked Sir Loin, sounds better than " Merl old Girl"!

[da-DELETED-hliafrommerb]

Hi-ee,

Well, here's a bit of a story.

I first began SP'ing in yahoo chat rooms. I had no idea about these review boards then. When i finally joined my very first review board, merb, a year later, one of my yahoo clients reviewed me. It was called a shill, of course, as he was a new member in that board and i was a new SP face, unknown to that, or any board, really.

Well, the positive reviews just kept pouring in one after the other and they hated it. You know?..."Who was this unknown T-girl getting all the great reviews?", type of thing.
So they, in that board, all started calling me really nasty names and criticized every review that came in because none of the regular members knew me.
At first, they tried saying i was some other Sp, also named Dahlia, who used to work the streets, and apparently she was not a good SP.
I never worked the streets!
Well after a year of continuous abuse on the board, some joker who never even met me, got a great idea and entered a very negative, false, and nasty review about me. I confronted him openly on the board and proved it to be a lie for all to see.
Well, the mod, decided to leave the false review in the thread, and i protested by demanding the "proved to be false" review, be removed. Of course, the mod just ignored me.
I guess, he figured, with all the horrible and really nasty comments (which he allowed to be left on the board) already made about me by people who never even met me, and seeing how they all hated this new girl who was being reviewed so positively, why not just let all the bashers now write nasty reviews about me, as well, seeing as they considered me a shill, anyway.

Well, I put a stop to it quickly enough by demanding that the entire review thread be deleted, and i opted for a "no review policy".
Of course, i only requested that after first copying and saving all my reviews, and then putting them all into my two websites which came later.
Again, he ignored my request, until i spammed his email repeatedly, calling him "a loser".
He finally deleted the thread, and then, i demanded that i be deleted completely from their bashfest board. I mean, what was the use being there?...i wasn't even allowed to post anywhere on the board, not even in the section i was part of, since i joined it. If i did post, i was warned not to.
I was forced to read the bashers' comments as they whipped me on a whipping post.

My review thread there, in only one year, before i quit, had just over 24 000 views, and was the third most read thread in that particular section.
And i was not even allowed to post for 10 -11 months JUST BECAUSE i received good reviews!

Once i was out of there, and a little while later, i joined terb and decided to just call myself, Dahlia from merb.

So, that's the meaning behind my username, dahliafrommerb.

And if that merb mod happens to reads this post, kindly allow me direct him to my middle finger which is pointing straight up in his face!

Thanks for reading.
Babe,
xoxo

P.S.
Why do i call myself, Babe? Well, that is the first name i used in yahoo. I only decided to call myself, Dahlia, when i joined merb.
My name is actually, Dahlia Babe Ailhad.
Ailhad is just Dahlia spelled backwards.;)

[trisket]

Hi-ee, Daliah! :p
Thanks for the interesting story, that must have been a souring experience for you.
I'm glad it hasn't put you off review boards, it sounds like you still have a positive outlook.

I'm trisket because I'm good with cheese.

Hi-ee,

Well, i don't want to hijack this thread, here, but i don't really rely too much on review boards to host the reviews i receive, anymore. I ask all my clients to email me their reviews so i can post them into my two sites.
Besides, being a T-girl, 80% of my clients come from other sites, 10% come from yahoo still, and the other 10% are maybe some of the guys in terb, perb, and even merb, and are just too ashamed to admit it! No biggie, though.

It was very difficut for me to log in everyday and see all the old and new comments that were allowed to be left on that board - i used to log off in tears, and cry for hours, asking, God, "WHY?"

Thanks for your concern, trisket - that was very thoughtful.:)

RCW are my initials. Kind of a boring choice for a handle. However after a few posts about my wife and her strip club exploits that we have shared, someone gave it a whole new and better meaning. Really Cool Wife. The wife loves going to strip clubs with me, has shared private dances with me, and has encouraged me to enjoy myself to the max. She has gotten dances on her own and with me watching. She has also enjoyed herself to the max. I would have to say she really is a Really Cool Wife. :D
