Saw this on another forum (at least I think it was another one - if it's already here then aren't I a jackass) and thought it might be good for a giggle. I'll start, but it's not particularly exciting...years ago, one of my sons & all his pals got to calling each other, plus me, my wife, etc, by their initials, or some moniker that included the person's initials. Mine are F.B.I. - doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, so they rearranged them and started calling me "fib", which soon became "fibster", which ended up sticking somehow.

I needed a user name for an online email account but everything I tried had already been taken, and I didn't want one which had meaningless numbers added to the end. So I just tried to think of two completely unrelated words that no-one else would have ever combined before and tried "Human Potato", which was available. Ever since then whenever I need a user name it ends up being something potato related. Since then people have started stealing it though...

Hey Human Potato, the people "Stealing " your user name well yes must be Potato chips off the block.
Ok mine f104s is from reading about the Lockheed F 104 Starfighter magazine. And seeing the aircraft at the Reno Air Races i was humbled to talk to Tom "sharkbait" Delashaw and a wave to Rick "Comrade" Svetkoff. These two very special and the aircraft very capable plus NASA hot rodded it with RCS system and 6000 lbs thrust rocket engine. So thats my user name but a lot others use too.

Mine is a word from the language of the black fellas in the area I grew up in. We gave it to our cat when we had one, cause that's what it means - kinda in a round about way
cat -> pussy cat -> pussy -> insert a few words of your choice (think below the belt) -> dhula

I have a 1997 Eagle Taon Tsi AWD (fully loaded) and have always loved the car. So, since my car deliciously fun to drive, I combined the two names and have had it for about 10 years as a forum name wherever I go. Cycle Gear even has me in their computer as Eagalicious
