Your Nicks Origin, Now we can all own up......
Thursday, April 17, 2003 by Stumpy | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I'm interested in the origin of Nicknames as some sound interesting, some funny, and some down-right hilarious.
Mine came about due to the fact I have an amputation below the left knee, leaving me with One and a Half legs (+ a new false leg)
And judging by this stupid post half a brain also
Come on Guys & Gals own up, the funnier the better.

goodmorphing does not like mornings... if possible all essential things would morph to evenings.... and the typical first of the day greeting would be...

Mine took weeks of intense thinking and a LOT of coffee.
I eventually decided I'd just use my first name and stick 4 random numbers after it

Well Apocalypse is the book of armageddon in the Bible. Im not a religious fanatic, I just find that book fascinating. When I 1st got my PC and logged on the net (wayyyyyyy back on the old Pipeline days and the 14k dialup modems) I needed a nickname, so I took the name Apocalypse from a funny story that happened while under the influenze of about a case of beer back on my high school yrs. The 67 is the yr I was born.

Well I use alot of chat rooms and decided to use a character from favourite programme... Buffy. Had problems with someone in chat so changed over to the dark side and became Darla (a vampire for anyone who doesn't know). The gypsy part came from the fact I don't really stay in one place much on the net.
Have to say tho it's getting harder and harder to get the name you want when you join places and I rarely end up with the name I first wanted

BadKharma, I can understand why you chose your name, but what's with the extra "h"? It's like you mixed "Karma" and "Dharma"

KG - karma is correct most places, kharma is incorrectly correct if you're in thailand due to the usual british meddling. many thai words have an embedded "h" equivalent which effects pronunciation of the following consonant, but is not itself pronounced. the english scattered these h's all over the durn place when transliterating, turning tai into thai, kao into khao ad infinitum. the karma word , 'g' 'r' 'r' 'm' ( "gahm") has no native h, so badkharma will have to live with whatever bad karma comes from that superfluous h.

In my Buddhist dictionary, it's spelled "karma", and I've only ever seen it referred to as "karma". Guess other countries have their own spellings (just like colour and color, or how the australians spell "civilisations").
But, I think BadKharma is from the US
So, he gets bad karma for spelling karma as kharma.....how confuzing

karma comes from Sanskrit and has never had a 'h'...

very true, FL. when the thais borrowed the word there was no "h". (probably because the you-know-who were not on the scene when the word
was coined).
just kidding. the brits did a fine job of transliterating thai words and geographic names - nakawn panom => nakhon phanom, etc. ( there go the h's again! hehe). i'm sure i couldn't have done any better.
