What is the meaning behind your username?


Mine is pretty obvious and boring. How about you?

reply

Mines obvious but it’s one I’ve used for years so it’s just kind of stuck.

reply

Whats the 4700 house number??

reply

Just a random number. :)

People here think my name is Joe. My real name doesn't even contain any of those letters. My username is a reference to the film Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels. It's the name of the pub that the main cast goes to when things go down.

reply

Just looking at your username, I would picture you as a Pacific Islander.

reply

I feel like mine is obvious too but maybe not.
It's from my favorite TV series, Bates Motel. (You could also say the movie, Psycho).
Norma and Norman Bates.

reply

I was wondering if yours was from Bates Motel. Nice to meet another fan.

reply

Just has a cool ring to it, kind of mysterious and is one word. Also sounds like a good title for a Western or perhaps Film Noir.

reply

or a supernatural horror...

I agree, yours is cool.

reply

Thanks and yeah it could work as a horror or even slasher film. The actual slasher named Forsaken perhaps.

reply

Mine's cooler.

reply

Haha it's not a competition. That said, I do like yours too. My Granddad's name was Eric so I think of him when I see the name and that always makes me smile.

reply

Mine is the name of my hometown. Haven't lived there in decades, but I still consider it my hometown. Fond memories of the place. And my dad lived there when he was young, too.

reply

Love it. It sounds so nice. I live in GlenEllyn. Settle in.

reply

There's a Glen Ellen in Illinois. 😇

reply

That's the one. Glen Ellyn, Illinois. My dad's high school, Glenbard (now Glenbard West) was used in the film Lucas. We used to go sliding on the hill the high school sits on. We lived about a block and a half from the school. They used the Glen Ellyn theater in the film, too.

reply

I loved that movie when I was younger so part of me is fangirling! That's so cool!

reply

I have a copy, and I like to watch it sometimes just to see bits of my hometown.

reply

Oh wow! It's been a while since I watched that movie. I remember it making me feel sad.

I always wondered when I saw your username if it had anything to do with the Glen Ellyn I know!
Hello (former) neighbor! 👋

Hello (former) neighbor! 👋

Are you saying you used to live there?

reply

Not there but not far.

reply

Mine comes from when I was trying to come up with an email address and everything that I wanted was taken. So it's the six first letters of the words that I yelled at my cat at that moment. It wasn't taken, so it stuck.

reply

Mine is easy to work out.

reply

Would you believe that Vera Lynn (who made the song famous) is still alive, age 102?

reply

Holy shit, I did not know that
