Mine comes from the Viz Profan-asorus (dictionary of rude/funny words); my surname is Butcher and there's an entry in there of "Crafty Butcher: Someone who likes to slip their meat around the back" so it started as a joke with my mates. Got shortened to just crafty which i kinda liked...

'Takes their meat up the back passage' wasn't it?

The Profanisaurus is the only reason I still buy Viz. I love the Dirty Sanchez s*** mostache, and the even better Dirty Beppe s*** goatee.

My nick here is actually different (for some odd reason) from what I normally use.
(Schioett is my surname - It's danish and it is actually spelled Schiøtt, but I bet none of you non-danes have a clue how to pronuce that

)

Normally I use the nick Timiun
TIMIUN stand for: This Is My Internet User Name
VERY easy to remember 8)

my last name, simple as that.

i used to call myself danmeister online, when i was still chatting. shortened it to d-meister then. since i was the computer-geek for all my friends they called me the computer-meister.
i then remembered a skit from saturday night live where some guy called everyone some sort of meister "hey, the dudmeister. going to the copying machine. copymeister, heh heh".
so in memoriam of the years i've spent in canada i went with danmeister/d-meister.

then i thought it sounded too much like a show-off, so i went with "mores".
