Have you ever said your username out loud and been embarrassed?

Nope. Dudara's still around by the looks of it - http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/member.php?u=21075 !

Wish I was an all powerful mod though...

I don't.

But my friend 'Passion Fingers' does.

I wouldn't be too upset, Adam has the same vibe.

No. But it is odd when someone else calls you by your username in non-boards company. Like a colleague did at the Christmas party...you know who you are.

I don't know if everyone else was more confused that he'd said it, or that I'd responded.

It's weirder overhearing your username in public. Was in a pub with a few mates and while a mate was getting his shout in at the bar, he overheard two women lurker types discussing Boards, specifically PI and my handle was mentioned. Hotfooted he came back to tell me this so I sauntered(I generally do, sometimes even sashay) to the bar and listen to their convo about how one of their situations(the verrrry cute one) mirrored one on here and how I was giving good advice. I started to stand a little straighter and check myself in the mirror behind the bar. Right up to the point where the cute one said "yes she gives good advice alright". Bollocks. :mad: "Pint of Jemmy and a funnel please barman":D:D

I've also been stood at a bus stop lost in my own thoughts and Admiral of the fleet walked by saying "Oh hello Wibbs". Took me about ten secs to register that one. In fairness even if he'd used my name it would have taken 5 secs.

I always thought you were a chick.

The Master

I've never been embarrassed myself but people shouting across the bar "Hey Master" have certainly been embarrassed :pac:

If you go into someone's profile it says their previous usernames in the "About Me" section


As for the OP, I'm never embarrassed to say my actual username, more embarrassed to admit who I actually am :pac:

Ghetto Cornetto

No regrets. Had a few funny reactions from it over the years.

Ghetto Cornetto. God, that's so much fun to say.

Dravokivich

How would __________ of said their's?

Either "underscore, underscore, underscore" or by just standing there in silence, I'd imagine.

ibarelycare

I met the user Errrr! at a beers. When I asked her her username, I just thought she was a bit thick.

prinz

Yes, won tickets to the GAA in Croke Park through boards a few months ago and they were left in the ticket office under boards usernames.... I'd say the lads behind the desk were having a good laugh at some of the names. :pac:

We should become a crime fighting duo with names like these.

boneyarsebogman and Ghetto Cornetto.

I dunno, I can't see us striking much fear into anyone.

jimthemental

Only one person I think knows mine. Must go to one of these beers things and embarrass myself soon (nothing to do with boards name!). When is there one?

Wazdakka

Not really..
Cause everyone just calls me Waz.
I guess three syllables is just too much effort

Nah.. big, hairy, beardy bastard he is..:P

VampiricPadraig

I am more used to be called "Vamp" than Padraig. :P

Cat Melodeon

I'm on my third boards ID. I stopped using the first one years ago and couldn't remember the username or email when I came back to boards. The second one was stupid so I dumped it. This one probably isn't much better, but it suits. I wouldn't mind saying it out loud, but I've never had to. I don't like telling folks who I am. Even in real life.

thebigbiffo

my work colleagues recently copped that i'm boards a good chunk of the day, even though i'm a diligent worker might i add :cool:. this has resulted in me getting slagged repeatedly if i'm banging angrily on the keyboard in a vain effort to prove someone wrong on the internet. i dont need this on top of the rest of my worries.

one sly devil managed to sneak a peak and only copped the biffo part of the name. que hilarious attempts of them trying to figure out exactly what it is - i wont bother repeating any examples.

either way - the only time i'll be saying my (tbh ill thought through username) out load is when i say "yes, yes you f'ucking have my username now, it's thebigbiffo, you've me rumbled well done yada yada" and i shall then cancel the account and start anew so as to foil their attempts at being able to tell when i've been posting on boards like a man possessed.

damn boards and damn addictive arguments:mad:

Daemos

I've had to stop reading this thread because I'm on the verge of bursting out laughing and think I'm getting funny looks from those around me already, great stuff

I got very sick of my old username, partly because it was the kind of thing a 10-year-old would think was cool, partly because it isn't really true any more and partly because EVERYONE said it wrong! Sadly I still have it as my email address, so I spell it out instead of saying it and hope nobody notices what it says

This name I'm much happier with

Mm, I concur.

DaPoolRulz, lolz;)

Dunjohn

When I went to my first Street fighter tournament, it was a bit weird that everybody called each other by their boards names and gamertags. People verbally calling me "Dunjohn" felt odd but I'm used to it now.

BigDuffman

Well usually the words "Your so.." is moaned in breathy delight before my username is said aloud.

BengaLover

No, but the other day i actually said the word LOL to someone.:o:o

What's Benga?

Of course it wouldn't look the same! :pac:

Benga sounds like an old lady's name so it's like you're admitting your love of grannies. That coupled with your avatar.

evercloserunion

To people who know SFA about the EU my username must seem a bit weird. It probably sounds like it's about being in love or something, in fact it's more political than anything else. So I wouldn't be too embarrassed about it, though I might have to explain it.

My username on some sites used to be RedStar1916 though... cringe...

_blank_

Benga is a dubstep artist.

I never feel embarrassed saying my Boards name, it's my real name.

yeahimhere

only said it out loud once & the person thought i must have miss heard the question. Kinda like the person with the Err! User name!

I more lurk than post so never really have the occassion to say it more often. I'm happy in the knowledge that no one knows who i am

Oranage2

Bought something off Adverts and the guy over the phone kept calling me Orang-age two, he kept calling me it even after I told him to call me John - Everytime he said it i cringed

tudlytops

Not my user surname and don't see why I would say it out laud or get embarrassed by it.

But i did have to correct all this work that a girl had done wrong at work and was having trouble with a particular section of it, and suddenly shouted out really laud "you bitch", the whole office stopped and stared at me....:(

AnnyHallsal

Frada, regardless of pronunciation you've made me think you're hot. Cos even with a Santy hat and beard Mourinho's hot. Confusing

Abi

Never been embaressed to say my username, but always get the same reaction "ohhh YOU'RE Abi". Recently changed my username, they still call me Abi =/

How am I supposed to remember people when they keep changing their names? What's Mordeths name this week?

Well this is something I clearly didn't think through when picking my username.
