Default The Origins of Our Usernames.

I was thinking, where the hell do some of you get your usernames? Some are self-explanatory, others aren't. I figure this could be a thread where we explain where we got some of our weird usernames from.


I got my username from the White Zombie song of the same name. Iggy Pop starts off the song by talking about a Mustang. Being as how my '05 is black and it is my sunshine, it works out perfectly.


What about some of you?

Riding switch is when you ride your skateboard opposite of the way you normally do.

I know, I know... the origin of my name really isn't that interesting.

When I got appointed to the fire department back in 1981, one of the dispatchers started calling me "Ronzo" (my first name is Ron). it evolved to "Gonzo Ronzo" then the "Ronzo" was dropped.

"DaGonz", my screen name evolved from being called Gonzo.

Mine is pretty self explanatory. I signed up when i got my Mustang. I had never had one before so NewMustangMan! I was gonna go with my normal which is kalel4523 (i am a big Superman fan). Thats what i use for everything else. Xbox live emails and all, but i wanted to switch it up and i was really excited about being in the mustang world!

All the way back to my oval track days. My team name was WNRacing.

Williams = Last name
Nascar
Racing

Over time it has turned into WN racing or "win racing" just depends on how different people see/ say it.. lol

When I was first looking for a Mustang, i stumbled upon this heavily modded GT (it had mostly steeda parts) So when I came on here to see if I should buy it or not, i just made my user name Steeda. And 97 is my hockey number.

Rad haha, I skate quite a bit myself.

As for my name, I don't think it requires explaining.

Oh come on, I thought everyone knew why he calls himself spike africa.

He uses the word spike, because he used to have a mohawk.

He uses the word africa, because he's secretly black on the inside.

People started calling me INtZ in maybe 7th grade, pretty dumb story actually... I'm a pretty big computer nerd, some of my friends called me neo(like from the matrix) and neo is supposed to be "the one", and the joke-sters that my friends are said i couldn't be "the one"cause i deffinetelly dont look a thing like Keanu Reeves, so they started calling my Das Einz. However, the retards that they are, they couldn't spell "einz" properly and written on paper they spelled it I-N-(lowercase)t-Z, INtZ. Pretty much all my friends still call me INtZ

sidenote: Since then I've come to the realization that intz is a slang term for crystal meth, however, their is no relation to me and cyrstal methamphetamine...

zigzagg321... named after my old cat who's name was ziggy... it just fit him cause he was uber hyper and zigged and zagged all over the place. he was like a dog...I trained him that way...he would come when i called, sit, lay down, shake hands, and roll over on command.. I miss that little ******.

most people think it has to do with zigzag rolling papers and weed.
