Nicknames - how the heck did you end up with it?

squizy · 2004-10-22T02:29:56+00:00

Theres been some pretty interesting nicknames and usernames in use on the site, but how did we all come up with them? Some are pretty obvious based upon car / model etc, others a little more obscure. So.....how the heck did you come up with it and why? As you can tell....Squizy's mine - named after Squizy Taylor, a leader of a smalltime gang in Melbourne at the start of the 1900's. Through school I had Fish, Guppy, Salmon, Taylorfish....then one day some guy at work called me Squizy, and it's stuck since. Even bosses at work call me Squizy. :duh Squiz....

Got the nickname from my first car which was a 61 beetle and I painted shocking pink. The name came from Indonesian word which means 'pink frog'. My car is white now though, maybe I should change it.

im ned because i used to have an HR holden station wagon. I could not afford the unique number plate that i wanted ("HOLDEN") so i turned the word upside down and it read NED 70H.That then became my # plate,later I sold the car and kept the plates, they are on my current beetle, but no one knows the significance of NED 70H, (unless they are a dyslexic reader) they just think (b4 they meet me properly) that its my name, and so now it sort of is.

i plan to live forever.....so far so good.

i go hard at everything. i believe in all or nothing. a mate, years ago, said i was like 'yosemite sam with both guns blazing'. later in the night that turned into 'twoguns', which has stuck ever since.
