Origins of your net name and title.

[MindYaBitness]

I took part in a thread a long time ago where posters revealed the origins of their net name and title on these boards. It was amusing. Rather than find that old thread and revive it, I figured I’d start a new similar thread. Hope people will appreciate the messages herein and not be rude to posters.

To start things off, “Achtungnight” is an invocation of a moment of creative imagination. It’s a translation of “Hello, Darkness”, which was not unique enough for me. I’ve also called myself “Frost-Fire” in the past for similar reasons, but that name has become too common also. For those unfamiliar with mythology, in the Norse tradition, the universe began when frost and fire met in the void. In the Abrahamic tradition, the universe began when God called out to darkness and said hello. Simon and Garfunkel produced a song called “Sound of Silence” that illustrates similar themes.

The name is also a reference to the dual opposites of my first and middle names IRL, Douglas Ramsay. Two Scottish clans from which I am descended. Friends at times, rivals at other times.

As for “Lech Master”, in fantasy stories a Lich is a magician who has brought themselves back from death through mastery of their craft. Examples include Vecna and Sauron. Those liches who earn the title of Master have come back from death on multiple occasions. I’ve brought myself back from board alienating, burnout, and depression on multiple occasions. So I feel I have earned the right to give myself a similar title. Of course, since I write adult material, I have to put an appropriate spin on it. “Lech” is also a name of respect in Poland. The word means dirty unwelcome behavior in English, but that’s a matter of taste.

Please share the origins of your name here, if you dare.

This is the question/comment I get in my DMs most often. It was a nick name in high-school. Play on words for Big ol' Titties. I hated it. I couldn't hide them. I had cleavage in a turtleneck!

Eventually I discovered that if you embrace the name it loses it's power. Now my rack is a source of confidence rather than embarrassment. I only use the name here, and a few other adult sites, that are no way connected to real life.

I like to switch up the title once in awhile. Right now it roughly translates to Tittie Queen.

if I could quit smoking cold turkey after 25 years

Good job on that, it ain't easy. I call it the crying a lot method. I did it after 15, almost three years ago now, and haven't gotten my writing back on track. I sometimes still want to kill myself. Slowly, via tar inhalation.

Duleigh was my dog's name and that's his picture. Back in 2001 I promised myself if I could quit smoking cold turkey after 25 years I'd get a dachshund. 6 month's later Duleigh came home with me. He was named after a beer mug, but the spelling is different.

Anyone that can quit smokes cold turkey has my respect. A lot of people don't understand that back then the tobacco companies were seeding their cigarettes with extra nicotine to make them more addictive and keep everyone smoking. That's a fact.

I started at 16 and finally quit in 1996 at 46. My push to quit came one time on a hike with the Boy Scouts. I was an Assistant Scout Master. We were 8 miles in on a 12 mile hike. I was way in the back trudging along coughing, hacking and wheezing. Every so often one of the boys would come back and say, "Are you alright? Need some help?"

Being a responsible adult I'd always assure them, "No. I'm fine. I'll catch up directly." While metally grumping, 'I'm fine you evil little munchkin! Go fucking away!'

It took me 6 months of trying. I got it down to 4 smokes a day, but those last 4 were a bitch. I finally had to tell myself I was either going to put them down, or I'd be right back where I had been at 2 1/2 packs a day. I do have to give credit to my wife. She suggested I do something every time I wanted a smoke. She took that back a few days later because she was so sore.

Anyway, cudos to you for having the fortitude to do it cold turkey.

I had a guy I worked with that quit at the same time I did. After 6 months he was telling everyone how he hated the smell of cigarette smoke. It's been 26 years for me and the smell of fresh smoke off a cigarette will set me off. If I let my guard down it wouldn't be difficult to go right back to puffing on 'em. But damned if I will. It would be too damned hard to quit a second time. I am NOT going through that (I probably couldn't) again.

[TheseLegs]

Yeah, the difficulty of quitting is really the only thing stopping me from going back to it. The smell off cigarette smoke makes me want to punch somebody. And then take their smokes.

I actually quit cold turkey, but i went through a TRUCKLOAD of lemon drops and Jolly Ranchers.

[ChloeTzang]

LOL. Chloe is my real first name - I figured if I used a made up one I'd just forget so I stuck with it. Tzang? It's an English transliteration of my mom's family name but it can be translated into so many different English-language spelling versions it's about as anonymous as you can get. Zhang. Tzang. Tsang. Zang. Tsung. Tseng. Tzseng. Chan. Chen. Cheng. Chong. Tang. Tjan. Deng. Teng. Amongst others. LOL.

 

[JaxRhapsody]

If I remember correctly, they didn't want to use the term "Big Mac" in the movie so they called it a "Cheese Royale." (I guess I could look it up.)

Where did you get the avatar image?

I've never seen Pulp Fiction, but I've seen at least two other movies that mention a Royale with cheese. Both take place in NYC and I figured it was just a thing there, like calling convenience stores Bodegas. Oddly I always had it in my mind that a Royale was a cheese burger with an egg on it- no clue why I think that.

Moved to NYC a decade ago, haven't heard anyone order a royale with cheese yet. Eggs on cheeseburgers are a thing, though.

If you really want to put some new York flavor into a story, have someone order a chopped cheese or ask whether their BLT will have pork bacon.

Now wait just a damned minute! you can make cured meat strips from any meat (and they do) like turkey, beef. lamb, kangaroo, but real bacon, honest to god bacon comes from only one animal. Trying to convince me "turkey bacon" is bacon is like trying to tell me carob is the same as chocolate. No! Hell no! So saying "pork bacon" is like saying a "chocolate chocolate bar". There is only one formula for real bacon: cured pork bellies = bacon. *mutters to self* "pork bacon indeed!"

Contrary to the name, a lot of bodegas in New York are run by Muslims now, and don't carry pork products. If you don't check you're liable to get turkey or beef bacon.

Beef bacon is delicious. Turkey bacon...not so much. Haven't had lamb or kangaroo bacon yet, though. Anyone care to weigh in on those?

(Edited to avoid a generalization.)

I've never heard the term Royale with cheese used in New York. Apparently it is the official term for a Quarter-Pounder in France because the word "pound" is not used in a country with the metric system.

https://www.thetravel.com/what-do-they-call-quarter-pounder/

At least one independent burger restaurant (in Detroit) picked up the term to name itself.

The word bodega is usually but not always used for stores in Latino neighborhoods in New York. They are often owned and operated by people of Arabic descent. You probably wouldn't use the word in Midtown Manhattan.

I'm just being a damned ol' grump. As far as Muslims and pork products, I understand the prohibition they have against pork, and the use of alternative meats, but *DAMN IT!* don't call it bacon! There ought to be a law!

I chose MyBareTorso because I exclusively write CFNM stories, and wanted a net/pen name that suggested masculine nudity in a tasteful manner. I personally enjoy being naked around clothed women, and the name ties into that too. Fun thread!

I think I participated in the last version of this thread, so stop me if you've heard this one.

The bumper cars at an amusement park is a place where you can hit other cars with your car, which is a bad thing to do elsewhere. I write a lot of non-con, so it seemed thematically appropriate.

I don't have a title yet, but now I need to think of one.

"Nonconsensual Thrill Ride"

"Nonconsensual Thrill Ride"

Paradoxically, a nonconsensual thrill ride that only works if you consent to riding it.

 

[Deleted member 6666935]

Well, I went with “mpeters” because I was also going to use that for the main character in my erotica. Originally the M was going to be the first initial but I didn’t like the m names I thought of, so it stands for “Mr.” Peters came to mind as an appropriate name to use for erotic stories.

“A little rusty, but…” just refers to how long it’s been since Iast had sex that involved another person.

Well then, it fits the requirements for Lit's definition of allowed NC/R.

I like the band ABBA. And the two singers were beautiful, of course.

 

[ItsJustMeApathy]

I realized when I used to actually make phone calls and had to leave a message I always started with "It's just me" and these days I'm pretty apathetic, so I thought It'sJustMeApathy and I do like the way it sounds.
I thought about PersonaNonGrata but I think I use that somewhere else.
