Meanings of your usernames?

Wizard · December 12, 2014, 11:51:07 PM

My username was started as a joke, way back in 8th grade I wasn't very good at math, so when we took these tests to place us in the appropriate math class in high school I didn't do so good, so I was placed in the class called math workshop, my friend started calling me the workshopwizard out of nowhere and thus, the name stuck.

My name was coined by Noneckin for having smoked a great deal of medical grade marijuana.

Is it "cat"?

Verbatim · December 13, 2014, 12:00:21 AM

i was trying to come up with a kongregate username, when the CAPTCHA in the sign-up page caught my eye: "verbatem"

i thought that sounded cool, and it wasn't taken, so i went with it

later i discovered that it was actually a misspelling of the word "verbatim", which is actually an adjective meaning "in exactly the same words used," or simply "word for word"

that, and it contained a large number of favorable traits
- it sounds cool
- it abbreviates easily to "verb"
- it starts with my favorite letter
- it's reflexive of the theme of language arts, which i specialize in

so it was basically destiny

and it has also been my favorite word ever
which sounds vain, but it's actually not, 'cause i didn't choose the word; the word chose me

the only downside is that "verbatim" is actually a company that makes blank CDs and flash drives and memory sticks and stuff like that, so i'd probably have legal issues if i tried using it as a pseudonym if i ever became a music artist

I've been told that whenever people actually do use the word "verbatim" in context, people think of me.

That gets me all jolly.

Still, others don't even know it's a word, and infuriatingly don't even know how to pronounce it.

Ah, i remember when you told me this back on b.net.
Still pretty creative.

That it does.

it doesn't really have a meaning. I just remember watching a Halo 2 documentary, and somebody said "let's go rocketman!" to a guy with a rocket launcher, during a multiplayer playtest.

so.......it stuck with me.
