Mine is from Battlefield 2 when I was younger.

I initially started BF2 as Death_From_Above as I flew around in Blackhawk's and used the 50 Cal out the side to spray victims below. It was an epic game at the time.

Then I joined a gaming group and had to put [OMR] in front of my name, but due to the character restrictions, my name got shortened to:

[OMR]Death_From_Abo

"Abo" is a derogatory term in Australia/NZ for Aboriginal. It's a bit like Nigga, except it wont even be reclaimed.

So it ended up looking like Death_From_Nigga everytime I shot someone online. And of course, everyone would type on the screen their opinion of the event.

So I bought a new account, and chose Meclazine which I thought was clever.

No,

In BF2, once you chose your basic username, you were stuck with it. But BF2 went down in price, and I spent $40 on a Meclazine account.

Too many racially charged comments with the other name.
