I had the nickname chewy from middle school/highschool because I chewed on my pencils back then (dont anymore). A friend thought it was sort of an asian name and spelled it chui, I tacked on a u because some sites require usernames to be at least 5 characters long for completely superfluous reasons and since then I've had the same user name for over a decade.

I suck so much at tennis that my friends made fun of me saying that all I had was the "power of O3." Lame I know, but I was too lazy to think of another ID.

My iccup ID is VadeRo3 (O3 + Darth Vader)

I was 14, a huge fan of the phantom comics!! Had a ton and couldnt come up with anything else. A friend of mine had a nickname called himself preda2r (2 = to in norwegian) so then I grabbed his idea and made ThePhan2m. Later I have regretted several times

and teamliquid only allows one id and one acc so gg

It's a Pantera song. I don't even like Pantera, but I like the song.

I got this by searching names for a Maplestory character back when I played it and then I found this, was already taken on MS but ended up using it for other games and it err, kinda stuck

When I started to use this nick I was obsessed with Pink Floyd. I suppose it was originally Floydian_Slip, as in a play on a Freudian slip, but I very rarely use it that way. These days I don't even listen to them that much, still love them but in a different phase these days. But I like the nick so heyho.

Got mine as a smurf while playing warsow, where you could colour your names. I started to like it and it was unique so I kept it and started using it in sc too although it is kinda lame without colours TT

Taken from Kingdom Hearts I think...it was a long time ago

Maybe the story behind my SC2 nick is a little more interesting though. Quickfix is my band's unofficial name (we don't have an official name yet) and mindsun (from Mind Sun) is also the unoffical name of our band, but it's just some kind of bad internal joke mixing the names of our friends' bands, Glacius Mind and Disember Sun (both are official names).

Quickfix has a meaning for us, unlike Mind Sun, but I'm not going to start explaining it here

When I wanted to join a WW2 clan on SC original (meaning the clan was based around playing a certain map or 2 stylized to mimic world war two) I had to pick a name for myself. I was a youngin and just randomly combined two expressions, "dude" and "man" together, then slapped on the clans' "001" tag onto the end. 6 years later I carry the same name on most of my accounts across the internet.

"Hear what i mean not what i said"

I tend to make gafs saying things and typing things differently then what i mean at which i need to explain what i meant, so as i thought "lost in translation" was too long i went for semantics mainly under denotation. also it has the word seman in it hehehehehe =p i also went under semanticks, as some ppl read it as seman dicks and it's a little miss spelled and tend to tick people off lol has many reasons.
