I’m half Korean, 6’ 230lb. My martial arts instructor said to me, “You’re the biggest fucking Korean I’ve ever seen.” So Giant Korean just kind of stuck.

It’s a line from a Pink Floyd song. I like the fact that when people see my name, if they know the song, they probably hear it in their heads. This is especially poignant since I once had a love like no other- it was our song. He died, but he would have loved my username. He would have loved Lemmy, too.

It’s a new name for me. I’m Coco, recently.

I like frogs.

I also like to change usernames on a semi-regular basis, so it was time for a change, and this is the first time in a really long time that I’ve been able to have a four-letter noun as a username. So I shall celebrate the joy of being simply “frog”.

I had an old internet friend on Tumblr when I was 13-14 or so who had the username “coolpng”. One day they just deleted all of their accounts with no warning, no trace, no nothing – just vanished, so I made the username “cooljpeg” in honor of them and in hopes that maybe they’ll run into my e-presence one day. It’s also just a simple 'n funny username, and I love jpegs so :+D

I’ve been a Tolkien fan for sixty or so years.

Baggins wasn’t available on Reddit but it was here.

I also use it in email addresses.

In Anarchism one of our most influential books is The Conquest of Bread by Pyotr Kropotkin, also known as the Bread book. I needed to burn my old social handles and at the time the anarchist meme sub reddits would call our dank memes yeasty memes (since bread) and so I chose the name AnarchoYeasty

This year we made a jackdaw friend in our garden. We can feed it directly from the hand and it’s comfortable around us.

Jackdaw in Swedish is Kaja (sounds kinda like “Kaia”)

We named it Kajko (kaiko). I liked the name and now I’m using it.

Misspelled ‘Fedaykin,’ the name for the fremen death commando in Dune.

As edgelordy as that sounds, I mostly just liked the word. One spelling error creating a character in a game and I liked it better, so I kept using it.

In French the word “Didascalie” is used for stage directions, often scribbled in the edges of a play, oftentimes by the author. “Les” indicates a plural, so my name would read “Les didascalies”, or “the author’s notes”.

It pronounces basically the same as Lady Dascalie, hence where the name came from.

I have a fairly prickly personality IRL and online communities like this one make up the majority of regular interactions with people outside of my home; it’s my “distraction” from being an introverted grump. Plus my insides are mostly water and pulp, so I have that going for me.
