No, No, No! What we call you is Czarcasm. What we know you as we’re not allowed to call you outside of the Pit.
Only two of my Meatspace friends know my Internet name, and they both know me from another message board.
No, because no oneº knows what TOJ stands for.
This name was given to me by my first wife back before there was a world wide web. She is the only one who ever called me Scumpup in real life. No, it wasn’t meant insultingly. It was just an affectionate nickname as produced by a Gahan Wilson-type mind.
Lots of people call me Rick IRL.
Yes, by my wife’s family. My great nephew first called me that and it stuck.
Nope. My name is just an arbitrary Hungarian word that popped into mind when I was creating a user account. There’s no connection to me.
Let me guess… by someone called Andrew?
I don’t think I’ve been called Nava in person except by Dopers, but it is an actual word so it gets used in contexts completely unrelated to me.
Why did you add Chuck to the end of it?
My ex used to call me Cazzle (it’s the primary reason I toy with the idea of changing it), but there are some people in my life who do call me Caz. My brother, for one, and my friend’s kids call me Auntie Caz.
I use mine everywhere across the internet, but not in real life. It’s from a comic strip I used to draw (and attempted to make into animations, but I’m not skilled enough) so that’s as far as its legacy reaches.
It’s a really stupid name, and therefore often a target for insults during an online argument.
I used to think I was the only person who goes by it, but I recently discovered someone who has had it from before I even came up with it in the 90s. But I own the .com domain.
This one isn’t, but I have a nick from another messageboard that has survived and it still gets used today. A lot of people know me by that nickname and have no idea what my real name is.
It IS my real name, but no one ever calls me that IRL.
I generally despise nicknames, so that would be a big fat no. I go by a shortening of my real name, but that’s mostly because of the mess people make of my real name. The only people who are permitted to call me nicks are my SO, of course, and my family (:rolleyes:) who will never stop calling me by my baby name.
I curse family baby names. I hate mine, and several of our good friends hates theirs. I think it’s a form of passive-aggressive torture.
How do you pronounce “Stoid”? Is it one syllable (/stoyd/) or two (/stoyeed/)?
Olives is not my nickname, but it’s how I say ‘‘I love you’’ to my friends and family. (Short for Olive you.) Everyone close to me knows what ‘‘olives’’ means. I am a regular recipient of olive-themed gifts. So it has a real-life connection.
March 4th is my birthday.
My high school best friend came up with olivesmarch4th for AIM and it kinda stuck. I love it because, hey, marching olives.
My RL name is Christy, which is a nickname itself but it’s the only thing I like to be called anymore so I consider it my official name.
I am “Ralf” with a very small group of friends. Actually, all 3 of us call each other Ralf. It can get confusing to outsiders when we are together. I added the “coder” to it to make it obvious I was me when communicating by letters or notes, and later by e-mail.
In my head, I call myself “Ralf” occasionally, but only when I do something bone-headed or poorly. Something like when I hit a bad shot in racquetball, I might tell myself “Come on Ralf, hit the front wall BEFORE the floor!”.
So that’s what your username is from. Well there goes my mental image of a dromedary that pulls things around a lot.
Mine doesn’t get used IRL but people use a variation of it whenever they send me an email.
Like “Freud” or “annoyed”…although my friend Simon usually answers the phone when I call by saying “Stoyeeeeed…” but he’s a brit and they talk funny anyway.
