How'd you get your username? 

Post#1 » by Jetset » Fri Jun 3, 2011 9:53 pm

Outside of the KB824's there's a lot of interesting usernames on this board. Just wondering how you came up with them and thought it'd be neat if we had a thread dedicated to this.



My name isn't exactly something I created, I ripped it from my favorite rapper Curren$y whom is has a record label entitled "FSJetset". Decided to drop the F and the S, and thus Jetset was born. Been thinking about changing it for a while now and cannot wait till I can do so.

For some reason at the time I was thinkiing about Wayne's World, we're not worthy, we're not worthy, and decided to say iamworthy. Then a poster said I should get me a big game james avatar. I believe it was semi. Mad sense because I think Big Game is the man.

My name's Imadul. Some black dude started calling me Imadogg in high school. Few of you may have thought of this, but it's not pronounced "I'm a dog".

Jay-Z is my favorite rapper. Iceburg Slim is one of his old-school nicknames. This goes back YEARS, so I may change it soon.

Iceberg was a pimp decades ago, Chappelle talks about him in some of his standups
