What is the meaning behind your MFP screename?

As the title reads. My screen name is because I have a big head. My nickname with my friends is Phathead. One day one of them called me "Head of Phat" and it made me laugh. I've also been called just Head and even Headus Maximus and in Spanish I think it's Cabeza Gordo. Anyway, you can see from my profile pic that I have a fat head but it's a little smaller since i've lost weigh but I still answer to Phathead.

What's your story?


Sincerely,
Phathead

    Mine is a lighthearted jab at myself because I am far from being a beachgod. It also has the possiblity of being a fitting name if/when I get as buff as I'd like to be.

    LOL, the meaning is that I have small feet. Thank you to the former boyfriend who thought to call me that, it has been a very unique online handle.

    If you get amnesia you'll probably forget your password though.

    it's what you get if you cross a Neanderthal with a Homo sapiens sapiens (aka Cro-Magnon)

    Because I'm average height for a neanderthal woman, while also having a much larger rib cage than average (for a woman of any height) plus little short arms and legs. And I'm stronger than average and don't feel the cold much. That's what neanderthals were like. But I have a vertical forehead and pointy chin, which is proof that I'm a Homo sapiens sapiens, hence "neandermagnon"

    Also because neanderthal women were probably the toughest, strongest women who ever lived and contrary to popular belief, neanderthals weren't stupid. They survived ice age winters with only middle palaeolithic technology and hunted huge animals with only close range weapons, e.g. thrusting spears. And they looked after sick, injured and elderly members of their tribes. So not like the stereotype at all.

    Also did I mention that I'm a palaeoanthropology nerd?

    I was friends with some Amy Dumas fans on Facebook and let's just say, they got freakin weird. Kind of obsessive about each other and than me. As I am just a normal boring old (well not old but you know) mum, I am seriously not worth stalking. Thankfully I don't see anything from them anymore. I don't have time for that.

    The song Titanium was playing when I was trying to decide.....and it seemed to fit...being bulletproof and not giving up or falling when shots are fired! Someone else had it already (I think) so added 96 to it....

    It comes from a dirty thrash metal band called Iron Monkey, someone couldn't see the 'I' in Iron on my shirt so they said Ron monkey instead.

    It didn't occur to me to make up a playful name when I created my account here. And MFP kept telling me there was already someone registered with my same name. So I had to stick my middle initial in there. Which I was very unhappy about, but there it is.
