NORCAL "WTF does your username mean?" Thread

The goal for this thread is in the title. Maybe it's just me, but I can't figure out the meaning of many people's usernames- especially when you throw numbers and shit into the mix. And these are people that I've met, wheeled & camped with, sold or bought parts to/ from... and I always forget to ask.

I'll attempt to keep a list updated in the second post, assuming there is some participation.

I hate to be exclusionary, but please limit this to NorCal members. As @tomwil posted, there's another thread for all TW members:

 

@2BeersPlease - In crowded clubs/bars, I'd often order two drinks for myself so I could spend less time waiting to order and more time drinking.

@2015whitetaco - I drive a 2015 white tacoma

@707Thor - Thor - Name of my Tacoma...I tend to name my vehicles using the same first letter as the model...and well, Thor is just a badass - Ha

@90yota - I no longer live in NorCal (Truckee) but lived there for some time and will move back once I'm done with the military. My username is simple, born in 90 and I've always been into Toyotas.

@916TacoTruck - post: 916- area code for sac where I lives.
Tacotruck- I like taco food trucks.

@99er - Participating on this Tacoma enthusiasts forum, represented by my truck of 1999 vintage.

@Anderson - Almost every owners/enthusiast forum I belong to (for some reason its quite a long list) I try and use my name. If my name is not available I go by Anders0nic or GreenThumb... I think there are a few others as well, but I don't know. The internet forums havebeen around for about 15 years now.

@Asphaltcowboychip - "Asphalt Cowboy" came from a country song sung by Blake Shelton or Jason Aldean (better imho). Im always on the road and a chip.

@Baoser - Bao is my last name...

Bowser was pretty cool

Baoser

it’s my dogs name

@BartMaster1234 - I was really obsessed with BART, yes - that BART, as a kid. Never ended up finding a new username.

Not Bart Simpson, Bay Area Rapid Transit.

@Basikbiker - The basik part was a graphic design thing a friend and I did as a senior project back in high school on an action sports video we made. The biker part, I used to competitively race downhill mountain bikes, ride dirtbikes, now just for fun but stuff will two wheels is a passion.

@batshitcrazy - It was either this or yolo420blazeit69. Neither has any significance but to confuse people and help them make false assumptions.

@bayareataco - I like cats

@Bentrodder - Started by an old guy saying I was "hellbent to be a hotrodder" and always referred to me as that hellbentrodder. I dropped the hell.

@Benzdriver81 - My first car was a 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300SD. The thing was a POS, but I loved telling everyone I drove a Benz.
My football number in high school was #81.

@Bigskybob - Robert from the Big Sky State - MT

@browndirtcowboy - From a song
"captain fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy" By Elton John
Captain Fantastic sounded a little pretentious, so the latter came into play.
But since i love the dirt and country music and brown is the color cowboy boots and dirt is brown and cowboys are dirty and well you get the idea....

@BudMan - As much as it may seem , my family and early childhood friends still call me Bud, Buddy, or BudMan. It stuck

@cheeehara - used to be maui123. couldnt think of anything creative but i was born and raised in maui. now its cheeeharawhich is a different way to spell my last name (chihara)

@CheFigata - I didn't have my Taco when I joined, so I used what I use in other places. Figata means Awesome or Cool in Italian. With the "Che" in front, it means really awesome or really cool. The reason Figatta is spelled with 2 T's, correct spelling is one T, is that is what my plate is on my motorcycle. The correct spelling was already taken. I know, really long explanation.

the name sounded good at the time. Granted I was a few beers in so anything sounded good.

@Fizgig - Fizgig is the name of my first Great Pyrenees that I adopted through a rescue group and who loved to ride on many adventures in my 1st Gen Tundra. She was named for the Muppet creature on the Dark Crystal, and once I saw videos of a bouncing fluff ball who could be vicious I totally understood why. She was an Alpha princess like me, too. Both dog and Tundra are gone, since I got my Taco it brings back good memories. Another meaning of Fizgig is a 'gadding, flirty girl or woman'. So I've been told...and in memory of my dog and a glimpse of my personality the TW name was created.

@GHOSTFJ - Ghost is a nickname given to me by teammates when I used to play paintball and FJ is for Land Cruisers. Originally had a FJC but wanted the real thing, so I got a FZJ80 now.

@KMFDM_V - I’m a big fan of the band KMFDM. On my first car I had a KMFDM sticker and my dad asked me if it meant Kenny’s Mother Fuckin Driving Machine, which of course it did. The Tacoma is my 5th vehicle and embodies that name more than any other vehicle I’ve owned.

@MJonaGS32 - It used to represent my name. But since that confused the shit out of people, it now represents what stoner kid @Shemicals aka "buff as shit" thought my user name meant.

him: "Hey bro what's a GS?"
me: "Huh?"

It knows that it is bound to melt when it touches the ground, but still, it falls. Because it knows that for there to be snowpack, it takes a leader of the pack... QANUKOA.

@rob1208 - cause rob is my first name and 1208 spells rob in pager code ... yeah real creative but hey, who doesn't like reading pager code?

@robertpaulson - fight club reference... "his name was robert paulson."

@SAC-CA-Runner - Because when I had my 99 4Runner I lived in Sacramento. I now live in Dublin, CA...but figured I would keep it since I still have a 4Runner, but a 2008. And some forums I can't figure out how to change it so I left it.

@Sccafire - I volunteer in Emergency Services for the SCCA. Basically, I wait around till they crash or catch on fire. Plus I used to work in the fire service many moons ago.
