Hi. I’m Randall

and I have a problem pronouncing monikker. The word gave me the first impression it was pronounced as monkey-er. Being a smart alec that I am,

I just shoved that idea right up my hollow brain in hope that it would stay inside. Now that I checked up the dictionary(definition below), I have a difficulty articulating it as mon-ic-ker, not sounding unlike Monica.

So there you have it monikker. I have several monikkers I have collected over the years. I crashed into SQ when the flight SQ1904352-who-knows-what-number, crashed into the sea. On 2nd thoughts, thats Silkair right?

I got the monikker Sukian(pronouced really quick) from some ass-hat in Secondary Skool. Wait, that’s a nickname, not a monikker.

Then the real monikkers arrived nineseven2, 972. whatever. enough with numbers. I got sick of that after 2 years(or more?)

Some was bordering the lines of tweet. ran ran? That ain’t right.

Then came mr.me too. That right there is a monikker for you. I’m keeping it real. That still sticks for now.

In the mean time, 3 people are calling me emo., namely Ronald, Sijia, and Yanting. Well, that ain’t a monikker, but it sounds okay, so I’ll just let it slide.

Okay, maybe SQ, sukian, 972, ran ran, mr.me too, emo. are just misely, but I’m really good at giving people nicknames, which I hope they will adopt into monikkers.

I have dished out a couple so far, but the best one would have to be for Lendl. His monikker is The KopiKat. meow.

signing off (for now).

xoxo – monikker.

Here’s a thought: I was just a broke dude that worked next door, but can you please donate some sex to the poor?

Definition according to Wikipedia: 

“A moniker (or “monicker“) is a pseudonym, or cognomen, which one gives to oneself. The meaning is distinct from nickname, in that a nickname is generally given to one by another, and not chosen for oneself.

Typically, this title is used as a professional name, instead of the person’s given name, for works of art, music, books, or performances.

Monikers are commonly used in small subcultures such as in railroad tramping (i.e.,”Baltimore Red”) and on Internet message boards.

Monicker in Clowning

The word “monicker” or more rarely, “monikker” is, among clowns, most often intentionally misspelled, with a ‘c’ in accordance with clown tradition that some words are inherently funny (and hence to be preferred over ‘unfunny’ words). The “clown world” has widely embraced “monicker” as equivalent to a stage name or pseudonym. A monicker is considered by a professional clown to be sacrosanct by the traditional code of non-infringement. The monicker is considered to be an attribute of the character of the clown and not of the performer. Monicker, in clown usage, can generally be considered synonymous with the terms “clown name“ and “Professional name“. In declining use, it may mean a clown performer’s personal nickname, (e.g. “Joseph Grimaldi’s monicker was Joey.”) rather than the name of the performer’s clown.”
