Angua is the name of an attractive female werewolf in Pratchett’s many Discworld novels. The thing is, she’s a woman in the “Watch”, Ankh-Morporok’s male dominated police force, and people often think that she’s not a Watch(wo)man, or a werewolf for that matter.
This fits with me, because I’m a female physicist (male dominated field!), and people often think that I simply could not be a physicist.
Yes, I know its lame, but coupled with the fact that I can be as nice as pie until riled, makes me think that it fits rather well.
Mine is just a silly nickname. I post on quite a few boards and I like to have a unique nick for each one. Oh and I am a girl.
Yes, I have also wondered the significance of one’s user name.
Then I realized, who gives a flyin’ fu…
Oh, nevermind.
Well, I pulled mine randomly out of a dictionary of mythology. Apparently, astorian did the same thing. I didn’t mean to confuse people, but I’ve been using this particular handle for quite a while as no one else ever does.
Somebody was talking about Secret Service code names for people they protect & asked a bunch of us what ours would be. Summerbreeze just came to mind. Having lived in DC thru several summers, I figured the SS would be glad to have one.
So, do you walk funny, too? I kinda picture something like a John Wayne gait, exagerated to the point that you’re moving sideways.
Welcome to the SDMB.
I always thought you were a 24th generation descendant of Ender Wiggin.
Maybe I was giving you too much credit. I always thought EXgineer was a play on endo versus exo. Now that I think about it, Exgineer would be a really good username for a divorce lawyer.
I have to admit, yours is one of the names I always misread. I always see it as lightNingtool. And, I never wanted to ask, because I was afraid it was a name hung on you by an ex, and related to a personal problem.
Willkommen, Herr Katze.
Well, no.
That would be far to clever to be something I came up with, wouldn’t it?
Not lame, at all. Discworld ROCKS! Or, at least, spins. And, Angua? Rowr! So…how YOU doin’?
Welcome to SDMB!
It took reading several of your posts for me to figure that out. I can’t remember if I ever welcomed you, or not. So, what the heck…Welcome to the SDMB!
I have no clue.
It’s a nice name. It’s a little unfortunately close to Summer’s Eve, to me, but that’s probably just me.
Welcome to the SDMB!
Oh, and I keep forgetting to 'splain mine. See the sig. If I can remember to turn it on, THIS time.
I dunno. Would it? Your posts that I’ve seen are pretty sound, though I haven’t noticed much wordplay in them.
BTW, thanks for breaking up my string of posts. I was feeling like a serial poster, again. Stop me, before I post again!
Thanks Davebear! Not quite sure if I live up to the “attractive” part of the description of my username though
Splanky is a Count Basie song. MAUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH.
