What Do Your Usernames Mean?

[Thumpalumpacus]

Mine's my old US Air Force nickname. Started out "Thumper", got transmogrified during a nice drinking bout, so I kept it.

 

[Ralph Haus]

Ummm! Pick one.

I don't have a creative bone in my body? I have nothing to hide? That' the nick name my parents called me?

Isn't "ein ralphhaus" german for "a vomitorium"?

Leonidas because I really like King Leonidas of Sparta and the Battle of Thermopylae. Although I am starting to like Alexander the Great more.

Hello from other side of battle! And also try to learn Greek and Latin.

 

[SailorDoc]

My user name is "SailorDoc". The reason for this name is pretty simply...I was in the US Navy and served as a Corpsman (and later in my career an RN). If you were a good Corpsman and loved you job (I did and do) guys and gals would affectionately call you by the coveted nickname "Doc". It was one of my greatest honors in my life to serve as a Navy Corpsman. No one has relieved me of that responsibility nor has that honor been taken away. So I remain, though not on active duty, a US Navy Corpsman...So "SailorDoc" it is....

We've got quite the global melting pot here, and quite the variety of talent, experience, and scholarship.

topspeed could mean highest obtainable speed...it could be warp 12...or more...or less...and can be relative too.

Welcome aboard, shipmate, from the state of Vermont in the northeast corner of the USA. We have a lot of fun here, and learn a lot too, but we don't tolerate name-calling, character bashing, abuse, or political crusading. There's a lot of knowledge, experience, and scholarship here from all over the world, as well as several well known aviation authors and many military veterans. Glad to have you with us; now sit back and enjoy!

Welcome aboard. There are a lot of people here who know a lot about a specific item and others who know a lot in general or who have a lot of practical experience so the knowledge base is massive

[Barry friendly]

Mine is a reference to the A10 scene in Tom Clancy's book, "the hunt for red October" where the pilot refers to himself as "Berry Friendly", when talking to the Russians.
