Explain Your Username... Simple 👏

Ok , the title says it all. 

These days, we come across different kinds of usernames → from weird to meaningless to only numbers to straigth to any thing you can think of. 

So just expain the meaning and how you came up with your name (especially if its weird), then you can maybe add weird username you've come across  and what you think of em'

my username is 8x8 because the chessboard is 8x8

Pulpo feira: 

What about yours, egoole?

mine of a DC anti hero

@ pulpofeira: Is it a name of a meal (all i see here on my search result is a Spanish Galacian octupus meal) or some kind of spanish word cos i cant find the meaning of individual words. :-) 

@kaynight: I've always taugth the 'night' at the end was some kind of reference to the game as with your avatar. :) 

@deathstroke: pretty straigth forward except for the numbers. I always sometimes confuse these type of numbers wit rating in live games.

Mine goes all the way back in high school. It all started with this three letter  word → EGO which is my initials. My mates got so used to it that most didn't know my real name till sometime later. Maybe there just stuck to the name cos of its meaning.

Time flew by and it evolved to egole (egolle or egoole). I joined chess.com during my high school and there you go.  Not weired after all right??

The problem with the phrase "pulpo feira" is it doesn't exist in any official language. It's Castrapo, a sort of borderline Galician contaminated by Castilian Spanish. The proper name is polbo a feira (Spanish: pulpo a la gallega, English: octopus at Galician style). But most of people says "pulpo feira". 

Best meal on the world, btw.

I forgot about them!

That's what the fat boy eats?

So ah guess am technically correct then. ....Octopus meal....

 Yum-Yum
