I was reminded of this post when I came across this reference to Undertoad in
The Word Spy.
Any other good stories behing the User Names of others in the Cellar?
P.S. I remember that Hubris Boy tried to start a thread like this before, and that it got way off-topic before the good stories got posted. That thread was so rotten, but the original idea was so good, it is given another chance here.
