List of people who’ve made you awkwardly explain your username to your wife

sledger


Thanks for that.

 

[sledger]

hahaha

oh man that was good

I can't remember many other occasions seeing someone look so ashamed

[sledger]

"silent....STRIKER?!"

*facepalm*

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Why was it awkward? It’s not as if it’s sheepshagger.

 

[silentstriker]

From a girls perspective this is worse. It was our honeymoon. she was like “my husband is what????”

I remember I ventured the perspective "at least it wasn't your username on a dating site"

Speaking of which, need to dig the thread about bad names to use on dating sites

Why was Sledger on your honeymoon?

 

[Athlai]

Because of how sexy he is? That’s it right?

 

[silentstriker]

We were interviewing candidates to complete the thruple.

 

[BoyBrumby]

What was the original meaning, actually?

I'm sure you've explained before, but the memory fades as the years increase.

I guess NP10's username might sound a bit sus to non-ACDC literate folk too, actually, but knowing he's a fan it's never really struck me as such.

 

[silentstriker]

Nothing interesting. I believe it was from a video game when I was in high school, then it was my AIM handle, and so I just kept using it for stuff without thinking about it...

I'd be interested in the answer to this - perhaps I should have taken him on one of mine? Might not have needed so many

So from a girls perspective finding out that her intended posts on a Cricket forum using the name silentstriker is worse than finding out he's been intimate with a sheep. Shows why I've never understood women.

 

[duffer]

I've never had to explain mine but it wouldn't really need an explanation.

 

[trundler]

Lots of -ers on the forum, I now notice.

 

[Flem274*]

jokes on you guys i dont have a wife

wahhhhh

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I don’t currently have a wife either. But the stipulated situation couldn’t arise. If she didn’t understand my user name we wouldn’t even reach the moist crafty stage.

Haha yeah. I had been using the name for some banking sites at the time (it seemed to be always available) so when my wife discovered it I did have to explain it to her before she made any worrisome assumptions.

Tbf, it's a lot better than the name I was using pre-2004. thesummonedskull *cringe*

Haha isn’t that a yugioh card
