What does your nickname REALLY mean?

Katydid....My name is not Katy nor did I do it (whatever it was). Katydid is an insect...a night creature. They make a "rasping" sound with their wings. Some mistake the sound as crickets. But they have entirely different sounds. They are closely related to grasshoppers. 

 

I don't know. I was looking for a name. The Katydids were out in full force that evening. One flew in the door as I was letting the dogs in. It was rasping away and becoming very annoying. I said, "Damn Katydid." I liked it as a name, but I didn't know if "damn" would be accepted, so I just used Katydid.

My nickname has such a deep meaning i cant tell anyone  :P

Let's see. Ummmm. In school, the kids called you "Tomato head" and you felt dejected. So you dropped "head" and made it DejectedTomato. :D (Jk)

PetoAbyssus is Latin for "Go to the abyss"  During the Roman times,  "go to Hell" hadn't been coined yet. Instead, they used abyssus. i didn't know if Go_To_Hell would be accepted, so I translated it into Latin.

It is an ASCII rebus and is not meant to be pronounced.  That hasn't stopped players from trying to pronounce it which makes me laugh.  ollooIIo: There is a tank in it, somewhere, if you look carefully ...

Shadow is my favorite word, but the name "Shadow" was already taken so I used a number '5' as a capital 'S'. You can barely tell the difference in-game, but on the forum the '5' is really noticeable...

I wanted "Zombie" but it was already taken in many forms. (Careful, there's a lot of Zombies out there!). I tried "Zombi" "Zomby" but they were all taken. 

 

Recent to the time I started playing TO, I had seen a "D" move on Zombies (terribly boring movie). The scene was a city of Zombies was being blown up with cannons. One of the actors said, " If you put a Zombie in a cannon and shoot the cannon, does the Zombie become zomblistic?" (A play on the word ballistic). The word stuck and here I am, a zomblistic Zombie.
