Explain Your Username to Us

[Jman423]

Many of you have created your username from some mash-up of numbers, words, or names, tell us what they mean?


There are some usernames that are pretty straightforward, but there are far more usernames that only really mean something to the user that created it... share with us, if you will, the meaning behind it!

[Lookn2cuff]

Hmmm let's see, Lookn2cuff. Well, as having been a detective for quite a few years, I began using it for most of my PD stuff. Lookn= Looking, 2= to and cuff, well if I have to explain that one, well.... LOL. I was always looking to cuff up the bad guys and it just worked out for what I needed. So I've been using this one for many years now.

 

[Steve0625]

stev, is a cool name lol b/c all is see is steve and 4 digits of your cell phone

Oops, you are right, this is the only forum where the "C" is missing. I think that happened when elb when down and then came back up. It would not let me use my regular username so I dropped the "C".


Now if a kindly admin would like to fix that for me....


Oh yeah, I should explain the avatar, too. Notice that he's wearing a headset. What do you think my callsign was at work for nearly 28 years?

If you are just adding 1 letter into your username, I think JohnMarcson would be willing to accommodate that, just drop him a PM and make the request
