What does your nickname mean?

Tumbo · 01-05-2006, 06:32 AM

Well it would be cool to know.

My stories. I have two nicknames.

Audiholic, because I am so crazy about Audi... like some Alcoholics in alcohol. So I just sat one day and listened to Xzibits song "Alcoholic"... and just sang... "Audiholic" for my self... And then I laughed... There we have a name for me.

Tumbo comes from a totally different story:
Back in 1998, when I got my first internet-computer and discovered the web, I had to find a nickname. So it happened that I was on a track & field competition in Gothenburg Sweden, and was about to buy an ice-cream in the store. I saw the ice-cream list and pointed at one and said "I'll have that Tumbo ice-cream". And the seller look strange at me...
"You mean Jumbo...right?", she said. And I looked again..."oh right... sorry, Jumbo it is", I said. And then I though... "haha, Tumbo... that sounds cool..."... And the rest is history...

I came up with 'mirage' when I was in Grade Four and I never looked for any other name since then.

Now you sound like a friend of Asterix and Obelix which is not a bad thing of course.

I always read it s-i-k-o.

I guess sikorsky (sp?) was too complicated for the guys in your high school.
