Prompted by something somewhere else, I thought of **Flying Baker** as a multifunction username. Obviously, it could be used by a pilot who likes making cakes. Once upon a time, the letter ‘B’ was ‘Baker’ in the phonetic alphabet. Baker or Bravo is the solid red flag in signalling. As an insult, ‘Flying Baker’ means a woman is ‘on the rag’. In the Navy, flying Baker/Bravo means ‘dangerous cargo’.

Let’s hear your multifunction usernames.
