What's the origin of yours or the reason for choosing it?
I chose mine when watching Father Ted and was struggling to think of one.

I'm particularly intrigued by Leg End Reject. Want to enlighten me?? :P

I was watching Only Fools and Horses, then went to the bathroom where I saw the bath then saw a gate when passing a window on the way back to the sitting room.

Hence Rodney Bathgate.

You fancy Leggers and think this is a more subtle approach than a PM?

Can't remember how I came up with my username, TBH

allthedoyles · 03-07-2020 12:14am

4 of us used this username at the beginning. About 2006

It doesn't mean anything.

It's a pity the reality is much less enigmatic!

A random name generator asked me to pick 2 from different headings and came up with Legend Reject.

At the time Leg End seemed like a better idea. No, I've no idea why now either.

As I awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, I found myself transformed in my bed into a gigantic insect. I was lying on my hard - as it were armor-plated - back, and when I lifted my head a little I could see my dome-like brown belly divided into stiff arched segments on top of which the bed quilt could hardly keep in position, and was about to slide off completely. My numerous legs, which were pitifully thin compared to the rest of my bulk, waved helplessly before my eyes.

From the start of the black eyed peas song Boom boom pow. It was always on the radio and it always sound like he was saying Gottagetgatt.

Sure I'm just a nobody in the vast world of the internet.

I got mine as I started off life in England and lived in the same place as the man himself. I don't agree with him politically or anything but my friends call me his name as an joking insult so I just switched some letters around and here we are

I stole the idea from someone else

On a slightly related tangent, I like these threads as down the years there have been many users here whose names I read and processed but only when they were explained (or enunciated myself) that I got the joke.

rapul · 03-07-2020 1:06am

Close to my actual name so nothing mad but had an older account with a terrible name and it got lost forever thank fook so reinvented!

Completely unrelated, but a few years ago I had a go at translating it from the German text into English to see how it stacked up against the translations I'd read.

Funny to remember that. It didn't go well.
