I was going to say that a lot of the ...ers monikers originate in the cricket thread, as a homage to Test Match Special

I usually get Chunky or CW but I think Greg has used Chunkster on the Deathmeath threads...

Basically spend ages deliberating on a fetch handle and then watch it take off in another direction entirely. And try and change it and you’ll become formerly or latterly instead :-)

Snoot
Enjoyed reading quite a few of these so thought I'd add mine. Tend to use Snoot anywhere I can outside of work for a username and sometimes end up adding _66 if someone's already taken it.
I picked it up in Junior School (mid 70's), originally as Snooter but quickly shortened to Snoot. Not sure why as I don't think I've a particularly stand out nose and growing up on a council estate certainly wasn't snooty or posh!
Anyway it stuck, so much so that my wife still uses it rather than my real name as do my in-laws and lots of friends. So much so that I used to be introduced as Snoot and would often get asked sheepishly by people who had become friends or scouts when we used to be leaders - 'Snoot, what's your actual name?'. I ended up adding it as my middle name on Facebook as people from schooldays didn't recognise me by my real name...

There're are a few that um and I've summarised from answers in the thread in a lovely Wiki article here:

Here is the list to read AND ADD YOUR NAME !!
