Where does your user name come from?

Hi everyone,
I'm curious to know what's the story behind your user name (or Alias)... There are a bunch of people that use their name (of parts of it) like myself, Albert Porter, GerryM5, Esoler...

But where does user name like Cornfedboy, Garfish, Calloway, Tireguy, SwampWalker (and many many others) come from? Any story behind?

Just curious

@Rex44 My ex wife is Japanese. When I originally used this screen name I was going to use a different name but it would have been offensive in Japanese. So I settled on this. lol

My username is based on my MOS or job specialty in the U.S. ARMY when I first joined audiogon. Went back to infantry, so I should change it again?

My user name comes from the Latin actually. The root word is viridi which means "green".

I used to do porno in NYC when I was young and needed an alias for the credits. Manson had just murdered Jay Sebring and his real name was unpronouncable. He figured a short first name coupled with a car race would sound Hollywood sexy and that is how he got his name. I did the same.
