Yes, it really popped out as a scary beast!!
Ah the username. I had a cat named Oranjeboom way way back and I affectionately called him Mr Boom. I bagged the name mrboom for my first email account but because email was not huge back at first I rarely used it and forgot the password. Then I couldn't reset it because I had supplied nonsense personal details when setting it up.
So I had to get a new mail address and as mrboom was taken already but me I had to come up with something else but I still liked MrBoom. So I thought, I know, what about meester boom! And that's it. It has stuck.
It wasn't till I joined here that I learned it means something in Nederish!
:0)
And nineclaws - I do like that one, does it have a tale? A cat perhaps?
Oranjeboom? That's an unusual name. I tried pronouncing it but I'm putting a French accent spin on it. I have the feeling that is incorrect. Thanks for telling me the story. I'm now wondering about your cat and how it came to get that name. One of my flaws, I'm always curious.
I don't even know what that is, which begs yet another question. 😂
Thanks, "nineclaws" does indeed have a tale, although I do not have a tail, unless it's invisible.
A native friend gave me the name "One-of-many-Claws" a while back. I'm skilled at quite a few things and do my best to help others wherever possible, so that's why she gifted me that name. It's rather special and not appropriate for me to take as a user name. I had the user name "Nine" on discord and after some joking around with @hiveqa, who onboarded me Hive, I settled on "nineclaws". So it kind of came partially from something serious and partially from joking around.
Yes, @nineclaws was one of my prized that I onboarded! 😀 @meesterboom I haven't forgotten about you and I'm still around good to see you are still about.
It is good to see you are too mate and silk fighting the good fight getting people on here!
I'm a prize in your harem? O M G!
Nice to see your fingerlips moving in remembrance.
It's a very cool name. I am glad you settled on it! Hiveqa! There is a name I remember. We chatted occasionally on steemit. I wasn't sure if he was still about. Good to hear he is and actively bringing folk on.
Oranjeboom comes from a beer I tried when I was quite young that seemed mysterious because I could barely pronounce it. I actually think the beer might have been crap but of how the name tickled me. Nederish is the language of the Dutch so I have been assured by some of the fine Dutch fellows on here!
Thank you! Lol, he's around but not really posting on Hive, despite my prodding him. I thought you most likely would have connected with him and wanted you to have the full picture for a laugh. He's hanging out in his own clubhouse but we regularly smack each other around on PAL discord server for entertainment and laughs. He was really good about onboarding me and is still helping others that way.
I would never have guessed beer. It's reminding me of homemade "orange" beer my father used to make, ghastly stuff.
Thanks for de-mystifying Nederish, LOL
