What does your Nickname mean?

**Savant** · 5th Oct 2008, 20:17

A recent incident involving "nicknames" led me to wonder what some nicknames mean...

I know some of them are pretty straight forward... whereas there are others which leaves one to wonder... To start the ball rolling...

Savant is taken from "Watch Idiot Savant" which is a term used to describe watch collectors... I have become somewhat a WIS and have returned to aquariums in a bid to avoid overspending on watches...(however as i have since learnt, this is an equally poisonous hobby and I have probably spent even more since)...

Whisker = Barbel
Breed = Genus / Species

Yup, you guess it right; I'm a Catfish Freak!!!

Tottenham Hot Spurs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Wish We All Could Win - debut album of The Afters, one of my favourite bands.

This is a pretty interesting thread. So now besides having the impression that Savant is a pleco breeder and Evolutionz for all his moss, I also know a watch and car lover.

My Dad used to own a fish farm between Loyang and P. Ubin. It was called Aquaculture Industry Pte Ltd... since young he injected his passion for fish keeping on me, thus the nick Aquaculture.

No matter what. I am still for Spurs!

That time I just DIY modified my car's intake to cold air intake. Very happy with the improvement in performance. Furthermore, when I was in Canada, canadians love to say 'Canada rocks'. Just happen to be creating some accounts in various forums and therefore 'cairocks' comes to mind.

**leechaorui** · 7th Oct 2008, 19:50

Just creating a nick which is my name. Plain simple.

**beetroot** · 7th Oct 2008, 22:24

dont know why, this purple root suddenly just came to mind when i was creating this account....

**benny** · 7th Oct 2008, 23:22

When I first registered for forums in 2002, I thought username was my name. So I just typed it in and that was it. Subsequently, I use bennyng when benny is taken.

Cheers,

Always like the animated movie "Beetlejuice" since watching it... especially when the creepy crawlies get eaten up like fine cusine...

Hence decided to use 'beetlejuice' when I chose my nic; '403' just some digits from my pick card lah... LAME!!!

[Ha! Never knew that the 'origins' of nics could be such an interesting thread also... Good one Savant!!]
