Have you ever said your username out loud and been embarrassed?

I am more used to be called "Vamp" than Padraig. :P

I'm on my third boards ID. I stopped using the first one years ago and couldn't remember the username or email when I came back to boards. The second one was stupid so I dumped it. This one probably isn't much better, but it suits. I wouldn't mind saying it out loud, but I've never had to. I don't like telling folks who I am. Even in real life.

my work colleagues recently copped that i'm boards a good chunk of the day, even though i'm a diligent worker might i add :cool:. this has resulted in me getting slagged repeatedly if i'm banging angrily on the keyboard in a vain effort to prove someone wrong on the internet. i dont need this on top of the rest of my worries.

one sly devil managed to sneak a peak and only copped the biffo part of the name. que hilarious attempts of them trying to figure out exactly what it is - i wont bother repeating any examples.

either way - the only time i'll be saying my (tbh ill thought through username) out load is when i say "yes, yes you f'ucking have my username now, it's thebigbiffo, you've me rumbled well done yada yada" and i shall then cancel the account and start anew so as to foil their attempts at being able to tell when i've been posting on boards like a man possessed.

damn boards and damn addictive arguments:mad:

I've had to stop reading this thread because I'm on the verge of bursting out laughing and think I'm getting funny looks from those around me already, great stuff

I got very sick of my old username, partly because it was the kind of thing a 10-year-old would think was cool, partly because it isn't really true any more

and partly because EVERYONE said it wrong! Sadly I still have it as my email address, so I spell it out instead of saying it and hope nobody notices what it says

This name I'm much happier with

When I went to my first Street fighter tournament, it was a bit weird that everybody called each other by their boards names and gamertags. People verbally calling me "Dunjohn" felt odd but I'm used to it now.

BigDuffman · 14-12-2010 04:41PM

Well usually the words "Your so.." is moaned in breathy delight before my username is said aloud.

BengaLover · 14-12-2010 04:42PM

No, but the other day i actually said the word LOL to someone.:o:o

14-12-2010 04:57PM

Of course it wouldn't look the same! :pac:

Benga sounds like an old lady's name so it's like you're admitting your love of grannies. That coupled with your avatar.

evercloserunion · 14-12-2010 05:19PM

To people who know SFA about the EU my username must seem a bit weird. It probably sounds like it's about being in love or something, in fact it's more political than anything else. So I wouldn't be too embarrassed about it, though I might have to explain it.

My username on some sites used to be RedStar1916 though... cringe...

_blank_ · 14-12-2010 05:19PM

Benga is a dubstep artist.

I never feel embarrassed saying my Boards name, it's my real name.

yeahimhere · 14-12-2010 07:00PM

only said it out loud once & the person thought i must have miss heard the question. Kinda like the person with the Err! User name!

I more lurk than post so never really have the occassion to say it more often. I'm happy in the knowledge that no one knows who i am

Every. Single. Time. :pac:

Oranage2 · 14-12-2010 07:31PM

Bought something off Adverts and the guy over the phone kept calling me Orang-age two, he kept calling me it even after I told him to call me John - Everytime he said it i cringed

tudlytops · 14-12-2010 07:33PM

Not my user surname and don't see why I would say it out laud or get embarrassed by it.

But i did have to correct all this work that a girl had done wrong at work and was having trouble with a particular section of it, and suddenly shouted out really laud "you bitch", the whole office stopped and stared at me....:(

AnnyHallsal · 14-12-2010 07:33PM

Frada, regardless of pronunciation you've made me think you're hot. Cos even with a Santy hat and beard Mourinho's hot. Confusing

Abi · 14-12-2010 07:56PM

Never been embaressed to say my username, but always get the same reaction "ohhh YOU'RE Abi". Recently changed my username, they still call me Abi =/
