Mine is a nick name i had when i was very young we were a group of youg guys and we all had nick names and mine was pinotte i dont know why this name but that ws it.
Mine is my favourite musician (yeah I'm like a teenage girl in disguise). The number is so obvious, I shouldn't even start to explain... It's my year of birth, it's so george orwellian (of course thats why) I like it very much and back when I was registering here I used a plenty of other places too as username - I found that comfortable.

PokerKing76: Burger King is my favorite fast food so when I saw somebody on PartyPoker with the logo PokerKing instead of burger king I change my screen name for it 76 is for my year of birth

the nickname my family gave me growing up was 'tones' (Anthony, Tony, Tones), and considering I was joining a poker site it seemed appropriate to add 'poker' to the end of it.

Posted by pochui: mine means "i don't give a sh1t"... probably because that's the way i am
That's in Lithuanian. Right?
well it's kinda the same in Russian isn't it? a mne vsio pochui = i don't give a sh1t... but yeah if we go for a direct word for word replacement, then pochui would mean Santa Claus

Schmuck or shmuck in American English is a pejorative meaning one who is stupid or foolish; or an obnoxious, contemptible or detestable person. The word entered English from Yiddish (‏שמאָק, shmok), where it has similar pejorative meanings, but its original meaning in Yiddish is penis. not much better than pochui...
