Redditors With Funny Usernames Share The Story Behind Them (20 Posts)

99% of the time, my user name has no good story. It’s two words I smooshed together because ??? or I was 14 and loved a movie or something stupid.

Saw it written on a piece of paper on my dad’s desk and thought it sounded cool.
