Mine is blagged from my late father-in-law who was called Toky after a well known footballer many years ago.

Its derived from a saying often used by my old dad - bless him - to denegrate any person who was annoying him, for example a footballer not performing well, or someone who was a pop star or TV celebrity who was generally getting up his nose. The old man would say "Look at that prat [sportsman/celebrity's name]... he's as much king use as a set of usedbustickets":D:D

Mine is the first three letters of my surname & my home city in the UK - not very original I'm afraid!

Mine was given to me as a password when I joined work.

If your looking to use my old man's delightful, and indeed useful, description yourself, please feel free as I am sure he would chuckle knowing that others were using it. He had another version which went "Look at that prat [sportsman/celebrity's name]... I wouldn't pay him in usedbustickets"

Your dad might be wrong, if enough were given in payment

So Pookie is really Mrs Pookie..sorry

I have called you Mr Pookie a couple of times..

Mine should read Sliksmrs but my typing wasn't up to much that day,the other half is known as Slik, so I tried to think of something easy to remember.
