Usernames which match expertise October 19, 2014 4:22 AM Subscribe
What are some MeFi usernames which match their users' expertise?
For example, physicsmatt comes in to set things straight regarding physics posts. And backseatpilot can be relied upon to supply intelligent aviation-related info.
Who else comments pretty much exclusively on topics represented by their username?
Also, computech_apolloniajames.

What's a melisma, I asked during my elementary school music lessons. It's a passage that goes on and on and on, I was told. Later I found out that the plural is melismata, and since I go on and on and on about many things, it seemed appropriate. (It's also close to my real name.)

'stavros' is of course a reference to the cross, 'wonder chicken' a reference to "Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani?", the only words attributed to the crucified Jesus that appear in more than one canonical gospel, and meant to suggest the interesting question of whether he might have lost faith and courage at the end, all of it a pointer to my lifelong unbeliever-fascination with christian mythology and other religious faiths.

Bloody Cesars (Bloody Marys with Clamato) are delicious.
If you want to take your Caesars to the next level, stir in half a tablespoon of creamed horseradish. I can only drink them when I get back to Canada every two or three years, and I look forward to them with great anticipation.

Well, we did have the user whose name referenced his fondness for oral pleasuring ladies. Although now I can't find the username so perhaps I'm mis-remembering.
it was "Ladies, I sure do love cunnilingus", which was a phrase used by another user in a particular contentious thread. They picked it as a joke, but it wasn't a great one in context and out of context it didn't work at all, and they got it changed.

I had a wordlist that included some phrases, and randomly pulled two lines. I did that a few times until I had something interesting sounding. "vibratory" + "manner of working". It's possible I'm misremembering and I was pulling three lines and got "vibratory" + "manner" + "working", and threw in the "of" to make it flow. Either way, the point was anonymity - tells you nothing about me and isn't linked to any other usernames I've had online. Not very interesting.

My posts usually begin as unimaginably profane tirades. I usually post later in threads because I've learned it's always better to read things over once or twice with a cooler head. The edit window was a godsend.

I give you the Urban Dictionary definition of my username:
official definition: a internet acronym, similar to "noob". HOWEVER, whilst a NOOB is someone who is lame/idiotic because he is new, a NUB is someone who has had the opportunity to learn something new, but never did, and is therefore idiotic/stupid.
And will just leave it there.
