Meaning and Origin of Your Username

Post by poltomb »

Mine, it is actually a random user name, with random sounds made when I was really young (it was also the username for my first email address).

I thought of this topic, when one of my rss feeds I read (dictionary.com's word of the day) and I saw this:
http://dictionary.reference.com/wordoft ... 03/14.html
fulminate \FUL-muh-nayt\ , intransitive verb;
1. To issue or utter verbal attacks or censures authoritatively or menacingly.
2. To explode; to detonate.
transitive verb:
1. To utter or send out with denunciations or censures.
2. To cause to explode.
Maybe not entirely, but definition 1 seems to describe fulminus lol

Mine came with a simple story. It was my first sorcerer toon's name in Lineage 2 that I played for long. Then I used it for my GM char, when I was working on my server. I just wanted to find a name that has several meanings and is short in english. :)

Mayhem because it's awesome and bitchy
From Wikipedia:
Wikipedia wrote:It consisted of the intentional and wanton removal of a body part that would handicap a person's ability to defend himself in combat.
It has nothing to do with the metal band, but I actually discovered that word in the song D.V.N.O. by Justice
Revolution burns within us all.

My real-life nickname, my real name is Juris.
Except that ch is englicised, it's č in my language.
If you have problems, FIRST TRY SOLVING THEM YOURSELF, and if you get errors, TRY TO ANALYZE THEM, and ONLY if you can't help it, THEN ask here.
Otherwise you will never learn anything if all you do is copy-paste!

Well I would assume that, since Phoenixes die then rise from the ashes.
