Handles and User names

[Dixie Tree Slayer]

Hey all. I have always wanted to know what some of your handles or user names mean on here... I mean some of them are obvious when you look at them but others I have no clue and wanted to ask but then there is always the privacy etc... as to why I should not... So... Without you having to say you had rather not say you can either choose to explain it and why the pride in it or choose not to and forever remain mysterious:ohnoes:.

Me first since I started this puppy... DTS or Dixie Tree Slayer... Real easy and not much to the imagination... I was raised in the Dixie Community and right after Hurricane Fredrick I asked my 7th grade science teacher if he needed help cleaning his 5 acre front yard of all the tree that were blown over. He handed me a saw and left a flipping paperwood truck and left me to clean it up by myself! I was just offering help, thinking WE would cut and pile and burn. Instead I cut and loaded and after it was all over with he gave me some money and offered me a job running his Skidder after school and on Saturday. I was only 16 and if you could have seen the machine he was asking me to run... Wait here is a pic

Well the resin is in my veins and I enjoy the physical aspects of the job... So I am from Dixie and I am a Tree Slayer extraordinaire!...

[Scarlett O'Hara]

Well, I'm a big fan of Star Wars and thought I'd honor the movie by my avator!!

I am just kiddin of course...............I think you can figure I'm obessed with Gone With The Wind!

[thrillseeker]

mine is because in high school I was a dare devil, I loved to be thrilled and chilled by things.

[Honey]

Honey is what hubby calls me.

This daredevilness? Is this reason for upcoming surgery and any previous surgeries?

[firefly]

Most of the other places that require a user name I use one that leaves no doubt that I am a horse lover. I thought that this one would be different. So I thought back to my childhood when I LOVED to catch fireflies in the summer(lightengbugs) & how much they fascinated me. JMB knows me from our days in high school together & she knows my other user name as we are on another BB together.:-D

Not really. The previous surgery was because I fell wearing 2 in heels and broke 2 bones. I was walking down an uneven sidewalk. If you call that being a daredevil then all of us would fall into that cat.

No the daredevil stuff was more like drinking a whole case of beer and trying to stay up. Racing my Eclipse as fast as I could, 100mph. Jumoing off bridges where you could see what was under the water. Whitewater rafting the Ocoee River right before the Olympics. Stuff like that.

[pinkytuscadero]

I think I know who you are talking about. I am still traumatized by the story he told about the man on the boat getting choked on a hot dog weiner.:smt118 :kekeke:

[virgo]

Mine is virgo because my astrological sign is capricorn. (Kidding!) LOL

I'm a virgo!!!

[firefly]

Mine is virgo because my astrological sign is capricorn. (Kidding!) LOL

I'm a virgo!!! My Hubby is a Virgo. I am an Aries.

[FashionPolice]

Well my user name is FashionPolice because I am a fashion merchandising major and my goal is to become a buyer . I have always loved fashion for as long as I can remember...I was the kid who changed barbie's clothes over and over and always had a matching scrunchie/headband to go with every outfit when I was younger haha! So that's me :)

Pinky
He always had stories... He eventually became my father in law and then my ex father in law... All my fault I will take that blame... He is a pretty awesome man. Helped mold me somewhat... Taught me so much that I scare some people with the insight he gave me... A shame he no longer teaches... But he gave up teaching 5 or six years later and hasn't looked back...

[kevin]

I still don't know? lol

[Butterball]

I joined a year ago (the 12th) following the love of my life (before she was MrsBB). She had initially joined in to do some recon for me :smt118 and immediately got 'hooked' - - - so I was left with no choice but to join or miss out on what my better half was doing for enjoyment while I was gone :smt103 - - - ......turns out, it's what she does for enjoyment when I'm home :laugh:


Anyway, I figured I didn't want to sign on as __________, so I needed an alias, an online name, that fit me. Being short (for most of my life) and somewhat portly, I decided to pull a name out of mothballs which followed me most of my high school career and into college. Thus BB was re-born and the avatar reminded me of Wilford Brimley (who is/was (?) a RolyPoly too, I might add). Well, there you have it.

BTW, I'm not nearly as portly as I once was although I still have the self-image. I want to show up this spring at my 40th high school reunion as the incredible shrinking man ----- :kekeke: ------- with the young, beautiful hottie wife on my arm :attack:.

[Beauregard's Daddy]

Beauregard is my half redbone, half bloodhound pup. He is about 13 months old, 80 pounds or so and when he barks it starts down in his toenails and just grows and resonates as he haruuaururuuaooorhowls! You can hear him for miles. My neighbors love him.

[proudtobefrompetal]

I'm from Petal and proud of it. :-D

[fuzzis]

The xboy gave me the nick, and after he left, I tried to ditch it. However, after 7 years, everyone, including my Sner, was calling me "fuzzis" (fuzz-sis). It was part of my email address, etc. So. I gave up and there it is.

[Maggie-Doodle]

Maggie doodle is a pet name my mom had for me...it is also the "real" name of my doggy...I usually just call her BooBoo though.. :)

[Conveyor Belt]

My son was naming goldfish and named one of them Motorcycles and one of them Conveyor Belt. I figured everyone would think I knew something about motorcycles, which I don't, if I chose Motorcycles for a name, so I chose Conveyor Belt instead.

[JMC]

My initials.

[Tully Mars]

Most of you know that I am a Jimmy Buffett fan. In addition to his music, I also have enjoyed the few books that he has written. One favorite in particular is "A Salty Piece of Land". The following is an excerpt from the opening pages that seems to describe me pretty well so I chose the name of the lead character as my user name:

The west was changing and so was I. Now, looking back, I have to thank old Roy for teaching me that when you fall from your horse, you climb back in the saddle and plow ahead. From Butch, I figured out that what I wanted was to be my own man...just a good guy with a few bad habits. This is Tully Mars reporting in.

[Fire Extinguisher]

Ok, mine should say Ex-Fire Extinguisher or I could change it to Fire Prevention Data Entry Dude. Actually I went with the guys on a Hazmat spill last week and as I was walking up the dyke in the rain one of them said I looked like Fog Horn Leg Horn... I could go by that, he is a brash old cuss thats full of himself!......

[citygirl]

Born and raised in Houston TX we moved to podunk MS while in high school. When I tell people where I'm from they automatically think I'm a country girl. Well I lived in the country for awhile but I was born a city girl and I will remain a city girl.

You can take the girl out of the city, but you can't take the city out of the girl.

[dyates]

Nothing fancy...no story behind it..it's pretty self explanatory.

[Imapepper]

Well, "I yam what I yam"....heh heh. Nothing extraordinary, just a part of my name!:smt001

[Comments 2]

I selected my name because I would be posting "Comments" and the "2" is for Too. That is what the forum seems to be, the posting of Comments. Maybe I should have selected "Opinion" instead!:laugh:

[58ford]

I was raised in the Dixie Community and right after Hurricane Fredrick I asked my 7th grade science teacher if he needed help cleaning his 5 acre front yard of all the tree that were blown over. He handed me a saw and left a flipping paperwood truck and left me to clean it up by myself! I was just offering help, thinking WE would cut and pile and burn.
Mine's a combination of a truck I used to own & a nom de plume I used to use when writing dirty poetry.

I also am a Fredrick veteran. I spent half a year in Gautier MS wielding a McCulloch. If I never pick up a chainsaw again I'll die happy.

[Hermione]

Mine is a character in Harry Potter. Bossy, bookworm-ish, but loves deeply.

What do you call a northerner who comes to Mississippi for a visit and returns home?

A YANKEE!

What do you call a Northerner who comes to Mississippi for a visit and stays?

A DAMNYANK!

I am originially from Eastern Pennsylvania and after 23 1/2 years in the Air Force (17 1/2 yrs of that overseas) I moved to Mississippi because my English wife had a sister living here and everytime we came to visit her - we liked it better down here!

We've been here for almost 16 years now and I work at the Post Office. Shortly after I started working there, the "good old boys" ( I call them REDNECKS) started calling me DAMNYANK - the rest of the story is history!

I still answer to DAMNYANK at work to this day! :laugh::laugh:

[Southern_Belle]

i couldn't think of anything else at the time.

[Chichiguita]

It is pronounced "Chee-chee-GWEE-tah" (just in case you wondered)

I've explained it before--so I'm sorry if it's redundant...

Back Story
For several years it was part of my job to lead groups of adult volunteers into the mountain villages of the Dominican Republic to serve in the poor communitees there. Dominicans love to "rename" (give nicknames to) eachother. You know you have become one of them when you recieve a nickname (or two--my other one is Negrita).

My second trip was an extended one where I spent the summer teaching english to shoeshine boys. One of our words for the day was "chichigua"--which means "kite". The boys started calling me chichiguita. The adults later explained that I was like a "kite" to them because I was always "flying" from one thing to the next and my feet rarely touched the ground. (here in the states they call this ADD)

I like to think that this is their way of "saying I have a free spirit".

...I like that folks on here call me Chichi--:kekeke:--it does make me giggle, though--because "chichi" is a slang word for "boobs"!

:smt103
...sometimes I wonder if my little shoe shine boys were as innocent as they looked...;)

[LipsofanAngel]

Just a song I happened to like at the time I joined... like SB- I just couldn't think of anything else...

[damnyank]

Chichi - I don't recall ever meeting an innocent showshine boy! :kekeke::kekeke:

[58ford]

We ought to start a thread where we can pick names for each other.

[Chichiguita]

Rutro!!!:smt103

LOLROTF!!! Imagine all my reps right here!!! This was just too funny. Although Chichi does fit you too!! :-D

Mine is self-explanatory and has just been fixed. Anyone notice the difference?

Oh, and 58Ford, let's just pass on the contest to name one another, okay? I just shudder to think what that would bring. :smt105

[citygirl]

Oh Chichi, I apologize......:kekeke:

Not til you pointed it out. But please don't be upset when I speak of you as Amandah 'cause I'm so used to making sure I get the "H" on there. Habits are hard to break....

[LipsofanAngel]

Oh, and 58Ford, let's just pass on the contest to name one another, okay? I just shudder to think what that would bring. :smt105
yeah, it would be fun... but I'm not sure that everyone would play nice.

[Remington]

Mine is self-explanatory and has just been fixed. Anyone notice the difference?

Did it used to be Amandah??

[Remington]

Just a song I happened to like at the time I joined... like SB- I just couldn't think of anything else...And all along I thought you were describing your lips in a sort of non-humble kind of way! Sorry! :oops:

Mine is sort of based on my last name, but my last name isn't Remington. :-D

[rileysmom]

Well, mine is pretty self-explanatory, also. My daughter's name is Riley. I am so proud to be her mom!!! Didn't think I would ever have any children, then she came along, prematurely, but she is doing great now!!!! :smt023

[LipsofanAngel]

And all along I thought you were describing your lips in a sort of non-humble kind of way! Sorry! :oops:

Mine is sort of based on my last name, but my last name isn't Remington. :-D

haha, nope :) I just liked the song by Hinder. It had just come out when I had registered here.

Well, they were boys, were they not?

Guilty I say! Guilty!

[Remington]

haha, nope :) I just liked the song by Hinder. It had just come out when I had registered here.Oh, ok! I had been thinking that you must be a heck of a person on here to see in person so I could see those lips that were so special! But I bet you still are anyway! :-D

[amanda]

Did it used to be Amandah??

Yep. My first name with former last initial.

[fuzzis]

Oh, ok! I had been thinking that you must be a heck of a person on here to see in person so I could see those lips that were so special! But I bet you still are anyway! :-D

Oh, they're special lips alright. :attack:(Loves me some Lippy. :smt050)

[Chichiguita]

This is a fun thread...thanks DTS!:clap:

[Remington]

Oh, they're special lips alright. :attack:(Loves me some Lippy. :smt050)Well, Lips is taken and much younger so I'll have to take her word for it! :)

But I got the nickname Remington because of my last name when I used to work in Laurel. I was called Remington so much that some that it was my real name. Some called me Rem for short.

[sidelinetolong]

I just sat on the sideline reading post by other people. I finally decided to start posting. Thus sidelinetolong. I still do not post very much, but enjoy reading the sight.

[Chichiguita]

Oh Chichi, I apologize......:kekeke:


no need to apologize...I think its pretty funny and refer to myself that way now.

Just Remember--when we do our first "My Hattiesburg Service Trip to the Dominican Republic" (a little dream I've been cooking up in my spare time) we will get some pretty funny looks!!!

It's all good though--It took me forever to get myself to stop saying caca (sp--means sh!t in slang spanish). I also had a habit of saying "Man, I'm hot"--in that beautiful weather--this is not surprising...however I was using the word caliente'--which is a whole "different" kind of "hot"...:bowrofl:.

...don't even get me started on whales!!!

[Chichiguita]

...meaning...I AM a boob????:smt102

[OLDLADY]

Mine is simple. I tend to refer to myself as the Oldlady for various reasons. None meant to be mean or cruel.

[amanda]

...meaning...I AM a boob????:smt102

Nope. Just that you got nice (0) (0). :smt023

[nooskye]

mine came from combining our big girl's nick name and the toddler's middle name to create our company name ... it was originally spelled like this, but when we started advertising in Atlanta, the hubby thought everyone would read it as "new ski" ... instead of "new sky" ... so we changed the spelling :( we're now in the spot of trying to figure out how to incorporate the baby into the name as well ... *shrug* how that's gonna happen, i haven't a clue :D

[sackett22]

Mine is b/c I love Louis LaMours Sackett Novels. 22 b/c that is when I really got into them.

[Luvia]

Baldur's Gate!

[pEtAl mIsFiT]

I thought of Petal Misfit due to me not being born and raised in Petal. When I first moved there and put my daughter in dance all the ladies would talk about the locals and would ask you know ____ and ___ have been ___ and so on, so I felt like a misfit cause I would have no clue and did not seem to fit in...

[Ted]

Mine is the obvious.
I elected to use my real name because I can remember my log-in on various forums. :-D
I signed into the original MH Forums but have no recollection of what screen name I used then. :smt102

[Honey]

You know Ted my first screen name on MH is something else. I had to change it because I couldn't remember my password.

[Dixie Tree Slayer]

This is a fun thread...thanks DTS!:clap:Wow... IT is a fun thread... Glad I decided to ask all at one time now instead of one at a time... Most of my questions were answered and of course leave me with more questions... But this is great... Thanks all for posting and explaining.... Life is good!!!:smt023

[Kitty]

I chose "Kitty" because I wanted a simple, one-word user name, and I had the picture of the cat wearing the lime helmet on my computer.

So basically I selected my avatar first, then my user name.

[mybabysmomma]

My username is pretty self explanatory. I am my baby's momma!

[BayFly]

My name comes from the fact of being raised between here and Bay St. Louis and my favorite form of fishing is fly fishing. Also a little play on words of being a former party person {barfly} and now would rather fly fish.

[Echo Four Bravo]

I think it was Honey who asked me about this when I first joined the forum, I guess it is kind of mysterious. Mine is the phoenetic designation for my rank and name when I was in the Marine Corps ie; how you identify yourself when on non-secure means of communication.

Echo=Enlisted
Four=Fourth pay grade
Bravo=The first letter of my last name.

And now you know the rest of the story.:icon_army

[dollfus46]

My name comes from the fact of being raised between here and Bay St. Louis and my favorite form of fishing is fly fishing. Also a little play on words of being a former party person {barfly} and now would rather fly fish.

Oh how you'd love the mountain trout streams of NC/SC

[Ted]

You know Ted my first screen name on MH is something else.If you're interested and if you can remember the name, Aaron can look up the password for you and email it to you.

I had to change it because I couldn't remember my password.Oh.
We figured the 'names were changed to protect . . . . . .' - etc. :bowrofl:heh heh heh


I got away from forums and such for a long while - working six days a week/ 10 to 12 hours a day - for several years and I just couldn't remember, and with a new computer with no cookies set, no browsing history, and the system didn't recognize me. Seemed simplest and easiest to just reregister as a new user. :smt102

[Honey]

I looked while ago and my original name is not there. I was in the signing up process I guess maybe. I don't know what happened to it.

[cubby 1]

i'm a cubs fan

yeah me too.

[birthdaybunnie]

[IBB]

Ok well mine can stand for 3 things depending on my mood.. LOL ( no-halo can be thanked for the third meaning)

1. IBB= I'm a Big Bi@ch :)
2. IBB= Irresistable Beautiful Babe.. LOL
3. My personal favorite IBB= I Be Bad ;).. Thanks No Halo (you had to be in the bad weather site to get this one! )

[ynotme297]

mine is b/c there were 296 other ynotme's. just funnin, I've always wondered why everyone else was having fun and I wasn't, so I said to myself,"self" ynotme.:-D

[Butterball]

Wow.........this thread has been most 'revealing'......

or maybe I should say 'enlightening' :kekeke:


Thanks to all & 'specially DTS for getting the ball rolling ! :bowrofl:

[luvnlife]

Mine simply means I love my life! I have a great husband and 3 great kids, I couldn't be happier with my family. I also have a very flexible job that allows me to be available for my kids anytime they need me.

[dollfus46]

My avatar and handle are well known. Ian is my Golden and the love of my life. My name is Dollfus and I was born in 1946, thus dollfus46. With a name like that, I don't have problems getting it. Heh heh heh.

[Rosebud]

Its what Sheriff Billy McGee calls me...lol

Off topic...but those Goldens are a breed of their own...:clap: Wonderful friends!

[Paranoimia]

I took my name from a song by [The] Art of Noise (the mix feat. Max Headroom). At the time I was addicted to the song I kind of liked the word - which is not a real one but can be taken to mean "paranoid insomnia". My icon is kind of related to that idea but it's really just the cover art to the single "Stick it out" by Rush.

[PHDPLEASE]

PHD - degree program that I'm in
