I’m just interested, what does some of your user names mean? Sometimes very originally like biffbutkus (isn’t it buff- big ugly fat fellow, B52?) Others that i don’t understand like krasetc.

Boringly enough “I.N.K.” are my initials. When some friends at Uni discovered this I was called ink or inky for weeks – until they got bored of it (it was during this time that I became a member of the forum).

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 31-08-02 AT 01:43Â AM (GMT)]mongu- Nahautl is the predomanant language of the indigenous peoples of Mexico that the Aztecs imposed when they conquered the other peoples and had a ruling empire. I found this webpage that Ive provided a link for that mentions c at the end of words being a sort of place name.
http://ns3.azteca.net/aztec/nahuatl/placenam.html
If you scroll down one screen on this webpage, youll see that Aztec means from Aztekatl

BTW, the word chocolate is a Nahautl word, chocolate was a drink of royalty for the Aztecs.

Mixtecs are a native people from the area around the state of Oaxaca in Mexico where I used to live. Similar to Aztecs, Toltecs, Zapotecs, etc

RE: User names
Mongu – it’s a small town in the North West of Zambia. I was greatly impressed when I was there, because I was guided by Hyenas to a great sight – a leopard in a tree, hunching over an Kudu that was about to become dinner.
I’ve been to Zambia a lot, but only been to Mongu the once. It’s a devil to get to, involving a weekly flight on a Cessna 310 from Lusaka, which takes 4 hours including a stop somewhere else.

The F-4 Eagle II? Never heard of it!
Skythe is derived from my old computer games callsign, Scythe. The C was replaced with a K to assosicate the name with aviation. I’ve been using the name for about a decade, although I’ve often thought of replacing it with Kurnass or something more IDF/AF related.
