Essentially, I want us to sound like cavemen.

I'll start:

HomesliceAbe was playing Mario kart and HomesliceAbe's dad couldn't think of name of one of courses (HomesliceAbe thinks name was "Moonview Highway?). HomesliceAbe's dad called course "Homeslice Highway" and HomesliceAbe thought new name was hilarious. Also, HomesliceAbe is big fan of Abraham Lincoln.

Name is Brent, pals screwing around. Pal takes Mr. Krabs quote, "sponge boy bob", puts name in, "brent boy bob." Abbreviates to bbmb, "m" is pronoun.

First used as discord username. Became internet username. Username reasoning should be obvious.

[–] Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

Need character name. Smash keyboard. Consider smashed letters. Move letters, add vowels, make name.

Five year later games no like 10+ character names (monster hunter freedom, thanks psp) . Start using Coskii. LGS people use game name. Game name sticks. Now use everywhere.

What get called in professional environments.

[–] Nurufu@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago

Nurufu like Assassination Classroom. Koro-sensei have funny laugh. Make good name

Hungryphrog was sitting on hungryphrog's chair. Hungryphrog decided to make Lemmy account before breakfast. Hungryphrog was hungry and likes frogs, so hungryphrog named Lemmy account "hungry" and "frog" spelled in funny way.

Was watching youtube video called idiots of garry's mod. Gman silently sit on bench and camera zoom in. Gman suddenly shout "pickle surprise!" and flail around. Young pickelsurprise think was funny. Spell pickle wrong on purpose because stupid. No change username for like 16 years.

Later find out meme is from other older weird video, but saw here first.
