About

What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

nickname:

Yeah, well, it was one of those things I thought sounded so damn clever, and it did.....for about 10 minutes. Now I'm saddled with it. Everyone thinks I'm a guy, or gay, or crass.
Learn from my mistake grasshopper.


Also, I use a different nick usually, so those other CunningLinguists you might see on gawker and glitch and so on? Not me.
