Essentially, I want us to sound like cavemen.

I'll start:

HomesliceAbe was playing Mario kart and HomesliceAbe's dad couldn't think of name of one of courses (HomesliceAbe thinks name was "Moonview Highway?). HomesliceAbe's dad called course "Homeslice Highway" and HomesliceAbe thought new name was hilarious. Also, HomesliceAbe is big fan of Abraham Lincoln.

IRC nicks were max'd at 8 characters and listed alphabetically. Given that dogs are no-go!, to choose name that made full use was simple.

Edit: See some fails in this thread.

spaysi sound almost like spaysi real name, and was nickname when spaysi was little kid… sometimes was called spaysi as mean teasing name, but spaysi take the name and make it own so can’t be used as mean name calling anymore

When creating reddit account got randomly generated username and couldn't change username. After 2.5 years using username got used and attached to username and when moving to lemmy decided to keep same username.

[–] Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

Need character name. Smash keyboard. Consider smashed letters. Move letters, add vowels, make name.

Five year later games no like 10+ character names (monster hunter freedom, thanks psp) . Start using Coskii. LGS people use game name. Game name sticks. Now use everywhere.

[–] bbmb@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Name is Brent, pals screwing around. Pal takes Mr. Krabs quote, "sponge boy bob", puts name in, "brent boy bob." Abbreviates to bbmb, "m" is pronoun.

Was watching youtube video called idiots of garry's mod. Gman silently sit on bench and camera zoom in. Gman suddenly shout "pickle surprise!" and flail around. Young pickelsurprise think was funny. Spell pickle wrong on purpose because stupid. No change username for like 16 years.

Later find out meme is from other older weird video, but saw here first.
