This I've always been interested in. Although I only know a few, for example:

JulyZerg = Because he made his acct in July, and he plays Zerg

Grrrr... = [edited] Because that's the sound he makes/feel whenever he loses

Rekrul = Because he spelled Lurker backwards


Anyone know of any more? I'd be interested in knowing why slayers_'boxer' got his name
or what exactly does iloveoov love? (oov = ? )
chojja/nal_ra/xellos/garimto/nada/ -- do these mean anything in korean?
JJu = stand for anything?
What does [Oops] stand for?

etc., etc., etc.

JJu is Korean

Nal is the clan, Ra is the Egyptian sun god. So Nal is really a tag.

Edit: I saw in another thread that Garimto means to hide, or guerilla style warfare.
My psychiatrist says I have deep-seated Ragneuroses :(

Isn't garimto "to hide" in korean? Think i read that in some other thread, which would make sense since he hides/proxies tech like a mofo.

Edit: Someone beat me to it =)

HOT-Forever is probably the easiest one to guess. I'm sure he was just a really really big fan of that korean group HOT.

Does anyone else pronounce ForU not as "For You" but as a complete word? Like, for-oo (i have no idea how to type out that sound, but i think you guys get it).

Ddang means earth/land, so I'm pretty sure it refers to his reference of loving land units! I've heard koreans say ddang attack and such.

Edit: "I've heart"
