XcoolNicknameOrigins

RRRRIP
 - Started as RFR.  When A Jerk wrote my name down for PLATTECOOOOOON in 2010, they misread "RFR" as "RIP". Even though he had sent an e-mail where it clearly said RFR, the PLATTECOOOOOOON people decided to use the barely-legible handwritten version..  BC, Gibby, and A Jerk (but mostly BC) wouldn't let it die, and the name stuck.  It was decided that you had to say as many Rs as possible.  When he changed his name on the BuzzTime game board at Buffalo Wild Wings, it had a 6 character maximum, so he could only enter 4 Rs.  Thus: RRRRIP.

BUTTWESA
 - Alias for RRRRIP.  He was trying to type BUTTZ many times in a row, and very quickly.  He ended up with something like "BUTTZBUTTZBUTTZBUTTZTUBBABUTTABUTTWESA".  He adopted BUTTWESA as his chat name.

BC
 - His name is Chris; he has a beard.  He is Bearded Chris.  BC.

SC
 - His name is also Chris.  He decided to call himself "Sexy Chris."  SC

A Jerk
 - In the days of Caché-based coolchat, you could use the "spoof" command and make it look like someone said something they really didn't say.  However, this spoof command was space-delimited, so to be a jerk, A Jerk changed his name to "A Jerk" so no one could spoof his name.

SJ / Wolfman Yogurt
 - SJ: His initials
 - Wolfman Yogurt: He has much hair, so he looks like a wolfman.  His last name sounds similar to "yogurt".

DH / DH8
 - DH: His initials
 - DH8: DH hates everything.  Hate = H8.  DH8 (pronounced Dee-Hate)

Gibby/GibbyZ
 - Gibby: A shortening of his last name.
 - GibbyZ: An accidental typo by Bearturtle.

GibbyX
 - He kinda looks like Gibby, but there was already a Gibby (GibbyZ).  GibbyY was the name given to the guy who moved into GibbyZ's apartment after GibbyZ moved out.  So GibbyX was the next Gibby name in line.  (GibbyY could apparently also be BC's first gnome but that's probably wrong)

random
 - A shortening of his AIM handle

midget
 - Self-chosen name in original coolchat

BitchTosser
 - Originally BitchMittens.  Someone posted a meme in coolchat: "Boxing gloves?  You mean Bitch Mittens?!", then he logged in to coolchat.  Everyone said "Speaking of Bitch Mittens" and the name stuck.  Then he married Cat Tosser.  BitchTosser sounded cooler than CatMittens, so he's BitchTosser.

CatTosser
 - She threw (tossed) a cat at Over Quota

Over Quota
 - His e-mail is constantly over quota

Rhymeslave
 - random developed a chat bot that would rhyme with whatever the last person said.  This bot was called Rhymeslave.  It became a running joke that Rhymeslave was actually this person sitting at home at the computer, so the name stuck.

Bearturtle / BT
 - Bearturtle: His AIM screenname
 - BT: Initialization of Bearturtle

Will / Ball Waxer
 - Will: His actual name.  But BC is mean to Will in bed.  Poor Will.  His name has become synonymous with spilling drinks (usually on carpet).
 - Ball Waxer: (questionable) Will was late to or did not show up to an xcoolevent, and BC asked him how the ball waxing went, insinuating that Will was actually waxing his balls instead of attending the event.

Wisma
 - A shortening of his last name.  It must be spelled "Wisma" and never "Wismer", because he is from Africa (aka Wismaland), and only other Wismas can say Wismer.

Oathbreaker
 - Playing a board game with BC, Oathbreaker swore an oath, which he broke.  BC coined the name Oathbreaker and it stuck.

Meat Squire
 - At camping, she was in charge of passing around the bacon (and/or steaks, can't remember).  So she was the meat squire.

DH's Gnome / Nutfinder
 - DH's Gnome: Someone said something about DH's Gnome in an xcoolemail, and he responded to it, earning him the nickname DH's Gnome.
 - Nutfinder: Someone wanted to call him "Blind Squirrel" for some reason.  But we decided that was a stupid nickname.  With other nicknames in the group being of the form <Noun><Verb>er (eg. CatTosser, Oathbreaker, Ball Waxer), we established that Nutfinder would be a more acceptable nickname.

Big Data
 - Big Data is actually DH's gnome, but the nickname "DH's Gnome" was already taken.  He is a big man, and "Big Data" is a buzzword around the tech industry, so we started calling him Big Data.

Dusty / DW:
 - Both shortenings of "Dusty Wagina."  After BC gave her the horrible nickname of Brawler, we decided that BC was banned from ever assigning nicknames to anyone ever again.  Somehow (unknown at this point), we settled on the name Dusty Wagina, though most people use DW or Dusty.

Rahul
 - After leaving our company, this person came back and joined coolchat.  We wanted to give him a picture in xcoolchat, but he didn't remember his employee number.  He got one digit wrong, and it turned out to belong to some guy named Rahul.  We decided to go with it and the name stuck.

B* (pronounced Bee-Star)
 - No one could remember his name, other than it started with a B.  So we called him names that began with B.  So we shortened it to B* (* being the wildcard character)

Harold
 - A jerk couldn't remember this person's actual name, so he called him Harold, and Harold stuck.

Francis
 - A jerk couldn't remember this person's actual name, so he called him Francis, and Francis stuck.

TNT
 - A rare BC nickname that actually stuck.  BC forced this nickname on her because they were in a car and that song was on the radio at the time.

Bwie
 - He answered a trivia question about the alcohol Drambuie correctly.  So we started calling him Drambuie, or Buie for short.  His self-given nickname was Pwny.  So we changed the spelling of Buie to Bwie.

Chrozio
 - Originally nicknamed Chorizo.  SC misspelled it one day.  The misspelling stuck.

ZonalPimp / ZP
 - His last name is Plomp.  He said something one day slightly off-putting, and SC called him NaziPlomp.  Anagramslave then told us that ZonalPimp is an anagram of NaziPlomp.  ZP for short.
