    I know, I know, these threads have probably been done to death. However, people change their names, close their accounts etc, so usernames do change.

    So what does your username mean?

    Obviously mine refers to Lady Macbeth from the play Macbeth by Shakespeare. She is one cruel lady who knows how to manipulate men by using her sexuality, just like myself of course :pac:

    A line from Pulp Fiction where the annoying french chick tells Bruce to "get up you lazy bones". He was tired, in bed, and someone was telling him to get up out of bed. It struck a chord. I chose the 32 bit 'cos some inferior creature took the name before me.

    I was reading a translation of The Odyssey during the first time I had to come up with a username to register on an online discussion site. 06 might be the year I joined Boards... if that's possible.

    was always a fan of Tito so chose Josip Broz.
    Years later I discovered that Tito wasn't actually Josip Broz, but an NKVD plant.
    My boards.ie experience has rung a bit hollow ever since.

    My profession.

    I admittedly did a name change in recent weeks.

    Prior to that it was a previous transport related interest.

    Misspelled name of a character from the Fr. Ted Christmas special.

    There are a good few Fr. Ted characters out there.

    Edit: There is one now just a few posts up.

    My username was the username of the first man I killed. He won't be needing it anymore.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 32,688 ✭✭✭✭ytpe2r5bxkn0c1


    Just random letters typed quite blindly.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,116 ✭✭✭Trent Houseboat


    It's a nonsense name I made up.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,543 ✭✭✭Charles Babbage


    Without the man in my username, there would be no boards.ie.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,045 ✭✭✭Mister Vain


    My vanity plus my love for electronic dance music.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,092 ✭✭✭fineso.mom


    "Fine so mom I'll do them" is what my sons used to say to me when negotiating how many jobs they would have to do for lifts or pocket money. One of them had just said it as I was signing up to boards. Works out backwards too cos I happen to be a mom so fine!

    Favourite character from a She-Ra when i was a child. Then my dad started calling me it whenever I was about to get in trouble


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,818 ✭✭✭fussyonion


    Vaguely recall someone on telly being called a fussy onion years ago when they were being, well, fussy.

    It suits me as I am fussy about certain things but mostly regarding food. Hence why the 'onion' fits in nicely.

    I do like onions though so I'm not that fussy.
    There's another user on here called FunnyOnion and I always wonder if people think we're one and the same.

    We're not but it's gas that someone also liked onions enough to choose it as part of their username.

    Right I'm rambling. Bye now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 925 ✭✭✭rekluse


    I love being out n about and interacting with people.


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,276 ✭✭✭✭Akrasia


    When i was studying philosophy in college i came across this word and it struck a chord. it was obscure then, my tutor had never heard of it.

    Now because of the internet, you can't throw a cat out of a window without hitting an Akrasia somewhere

    It is gas, onion gas, the kind that brings tears to the hardest of men. Hard because they love onions THAT much
