See a lot of intriguing/funny usernames here, and just curious what each one of them means. So thought of starting this thread.

What’s in a name?🤔 
Well a name definitely serves a purpose. Especially if it’s anonymous. 😛
I see some people have very cool nicknames on GV and I am sure they must have their own reasons to choose. What is the secret behind your name? Share your nickname’s backstory. 👇

Decoding nicknames: What’s the Story Behind Your Alias?🔓

Hey folks! One thing I'm sure about is that this platform has the most intelligent, experienced, and intellectual self-made individuals. I also know that most of us like to communicate sarcastically or indirectly, which might be hard for a normal person to understand at first. This is why I believe each of us has a story behind our usernames. 
Sometimes, I find myself laughing at a username more than their jokes. Some of the usernames that always make me wonder are: FunnyBones, Potatomato, salt, UnpaidIntern, rantmastergogo, kabootar_jaa, IceTruckKiller, FuzzyRuin, BiryaniEnthu, ChinChinChu, EagerFetus, bullymcquire, bottleofgin, GossipAunty, JadeArgent, peepeepoopoo, barbaadeshwar, Nagraj, Damaru, Amulbutter, weekendemployee, AliveYouth, AlphaGrindset, TheOatmeal, and many more.

The community would love to know the stories behind everyone's usernames here.

I'll go first.. 
I am a die-hard fan of geopolitics, and before Trump, everything was going smoothly and boring around the globe. But then this legend came and brought endless entertainment, whether it was a roast-show with US singers, his accent, speeches, or Covid management. What an interesting time it was! Despite his political blunders, I'm a huge fan of his entertainment. 😀 
I hope you all have seen his recent mugshot on Twitter. 😆

Hey Folks, I thought I should do an AMA specially after yesterday’s rumours that I have been laid off from Grapevine - this isn’t true 😂. It is however true that I have been PIPed and have a much reduced role now xD 

To be serious: Happy to answer any Grapevine questions that you may have. Features, ideas, questions on why we do what we do welcome - I’ll answer what I can! 

Cheers!

I bought all my domins using namecheap.com and now it’s showing government has blocked the website 😳😳😳😳😳

Is it same for everyone or just my network provider blocked it?

Is namecheap.com banned by government?

Opened LinkedIn after ages and this is the first post I saw. That's enough LinkedIn for the day :/
