Meanings of Usernames

Anonymous
Not applicable

Have you ever wondered what some of the usernames in this Community mean?   Some are simple - for example Gerry, diminutive of Geriatric (which is how I feel most mornings until I get my nightcap!)

 

One that intrigues me is @anticpated  -  is it perhaps a concatenation of antic (old), pa (father) and Ted.  Is anticpated a retired priest - Old Father Ted?   

 

Have you any theories as to origins of particular usernames?

 

 

Gerry

 I had to look up Wikipedia  - and you are definitely not (a) a short snoring sound; neither are you (b) the cry of a pig, nor even  (c) a fish of the perciform family, so you must mean you are (d) an American Infantry Soldier.  But Wikipedia is WRONG - you definitely are Officer Material, First Class, Major, Sir!  (and modest with it!)

With LEO included cats were certain to feature somehow in the explanation.  As regards the RHS - I know you will find this difficult, nay impossible, to believe -  but I am probably the only living soul in the UK who has never ever seen a single edition of that show - by choice rather than any other reason.

Mines just a concatenation of parts of my names and I've been using it going back to Compuserve days.

 

On RHS my OH used to try and get me to a show but I don't have the build for Frankenfurter or Rocky so would probably had to go as the Professor Smiley Embarassed

Showing my ignorance yet again  -  for some reason I thought it was a TV show.  Must be mixing it up with something else,  but whatever still have not seen it and know nothing about it.  Smiley Embarassed
