Help me derive some meaning from my name

[Dud]

This is an official contest. I created the name 'mountaindud' over ten years ago, and I forget what, if any significance the name has. If someone can think of anything clever for me to say when someone asks what it means, they will be elligible to win one of the following:

-Money to buy a bag of cookies of their choice (Obviously I can't mail food items)

-Kill Bill Vol.1 DVD (Miramax R1, the US version)

-A tip on how to better themselves

-A 3-Pack of Pilot G2 pens (Blue Ink)

I am not even joking, this is a serious topic, and there are some nice prizes up for grabs :thumbs-up: Try analyzing any root words, in different languages even, and look for ANY possible meanings.

No, there have been stupiderer things posted here in the past. :banana

I always took it as a shortened 'mountain dude', or perhaps it means that you're 'mountain dew'ed'..

Maybe he ran out of characters due to a limit all those years ago?

I just figured it meant you were a dud that lived in the mountains 😀

Hmmm....I like that.

In case you are unaware of the definition of dud, here it is:

1. A bomb, shell, or explosive round that fails to detonate.

2. Informal. One that is disappointingly ineffective or unsuccessful.

3. duds Informal.

a. Clothing.

b. Personal belongings.

What prize do you want racket?

 

[racketboy]

I'll take the "A tip on how to better themselves" 🙂

Mine was similar to Rackets...except dud as in a firework not working kind of way.

mountain dud = a mountain that fails to be a mountain

Doesn't make much since but that's what I always thought.

Mount - You choose, either "mount" like you mount a drive, or "mount" as a geography term.

AIN - Albany International Corporation.

Dud - "A bomb, shell, or explosive round that fails to detonate."
