Screen name significance?

What?

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. :smiley:

Welcome to the SDMB. :slight_smile:

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. :slight_smile:

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. :smiley:

Willkommen, Herr Katze. :slight_smile:

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’? :wink:

Welcome to SDMB! :slight_smile:

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! :slight_smile:

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! :slight_smile:

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? :wink: 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! :smiley:

Thanks Davebear! Not quite sure if I live up to the “attractive” part of the description of my username though :wink:

Splanky is a Count Basie song. MAUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH.
