User talk:Bogglesteinsky
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bogglesteinsky is my username on pretty much everything. Online and offline games, internet forums and email accounts. It is actually shortened from the original "Z. X. Bogglesteinsky". This was a name my father and his younger brother used to use when they needed a strange name for one of their games. He was talking about this at tea one day, and I was looking for a new name to use online.
Typing out Z. X. Bogglesteinsky was just too tedious, so I shortened it to it's current form. While I am playing online, the other server users shorten it further, as typing Bogglesteinsky can take along time in the heat of battle. The most common shortening is "Boggle", but some people use "Bog". While I am not concerned with the toilet connotations the second shortening has, I do prefer the first, simply because it is easier to say.
Many people also have problems pronouncing my name properly too. the "stein" part of it is pronounced "st-eye-n". I know it would be better spelt "stien", but, being English, I have to spell things badly and then complain when people cannot pronounce them. So there you go. No more excuses.
