Meanings of Usernames

[Anonymous]

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?

True...........but we don't really know what goes on behind the closed doors of the White House and No.10, do we ?..........not that I am one to start conspiracy theories......or to take threads off topic so I'll be quiet now.

Well, @Cleoriff  (sssh!  is anyone listening?)  I have a theory that the Off-Topic Board was deliberately created to keep certain grumpy old curmudgeons who know nowt about owt out of the way of the real business!!!  Could you believe that?

Now look what you've done!!!    I have been trying to live down a reputation and end up gaining one!!!!!!!!!        Methinks sometimes the whole world is aguinness (as the old advert used to say).
