Since I've been nudged to reveal the meaning of my screenname...haha... I'm an advertising copywriter. In my business, we work in teams - an art director and a copywriter.
My first art director and I had a really juvenile sense of humor between us and would make as many cracks at each other as possible.
I called her my Fart Director (instead of Art Director)
She called me her copyWRONGER...
And that's the story. I've come to love it.

Mine is pretty obvious. My Mom named me, I thought I would keep it.
I have a real problem with the anonymity of the internet, so I use my name on all forums.

Guess if I am gonna kibbitz I should contribute. 
In honor of scubaski's show and tell method, I will shamelessly usurp it for my own purposes, to wit:
I dive...
...I sail...
...I etc. ladies' purses in parking lots.
...what? What???
Oh, and occasionally I rescue baby bunnies from the lawn mower.

Ok well I guess I could SPLAIN Something to you.
My nickname was given to me as a child from my older sisters. "Sissy" was given to me NOT because I was the little baby sister. It was because when my older sisters would pick on me I would go running to my mother crying!! They were calling me A Sissy!!!
The guys I work with are big on nicknames and when I started scuba diving they started calling me Scuba Sissy.
Sissy has stuck my whole life so when I came on here ScubaSis was born!!!
