My username is not an acronym!

My name is pronounced POOH-kah. It’s an archaic spelling/variant of puck. It’s a common noun, so it doesn’t get capitalized. Also, I’m female.

Love the story!

When I see your username, I envision “Andy” amidst birthday candles. Hey - that’s still just as hot as Roman columns. :smiley:

I was way off - I thought your name might be K. A. Yaker. :wink:

I’ve never been SCUBA diving.

Knick knack PADI whack.

I just kept the name I was born with.

We made mad love, shadow love, random love and abandoned love.

I never have any issues with my user name - either the one here, or the one that I’ve ended up using as my primary online identity (I’ve just been lazy about requesting a name change here).

???

You named yourself after a sock puppet?!

What a rebel!

I get “Revtime” a lot for some reason. I probably should have capitalized the T.

I get mistaken for a female once in a while but that’s about the limit of my user name confusion.

I am as you wish to see me, my ascetic friend.

I get Mr Dribble a lot, even from people who aren’t trying to be insulting.

My name isn’t even Bob.

Andy, here I thought your handle was a reference to being smart and wearing glasses, 2 wise Andy four eyes…:smack:

My handle is pretty straightforward, I live near a lot of muskeg and have a ton of balck spruce trees around, aka swamp spruce.

I seriously thought you were Mr Dribble until you pointed this out.

Although I recall seeing your username many times over the years, this is the first occasion I have thought you might be a vicar called Timothy. Thanks!

As for me, I was once mistaken for roadkill, but (as I have explained in other threads) my username is actually intended to be a play on the proverb “curiosity killed the cat”. I came here because I am curious.

Also, I had never heard of SIFL (or Sifl) before this thread - what is SIFL (in the racist context)? When I Google it, all I get are links to the Shanghai International Football League, Sifl & Olly, Steel & Industrial Forgings Limited, and Standard Industry Fare Level. Can’t think what it would be - Statutory Immolation of Foreigners League :)?

People don’t seem to “get” that I am an actual zebra and no I’m not that stupid zebra from the Madagascar films!

Black spruce…i are good at the spellins…

I’m gonna guess it’s the “white” part + the scary looking caps.
