The REAL reason behind my name was an advice I decided to follow;
"be like a drizzle, never harming but useful, where ever it lands"

Danger said:Cool! I always thought that it was just a math thing.
(But I'm still going to call you "Python". )
Pythagorean said:I don't know if I could live up to the honor. Python is one of the best programming languages in the world that takes it's namesake directly form Monty Python. My achievements pale in comparison to either of these cultural landmarks.
drizzle said:As I told you before, Om, your name always means mom to me, especially with your second word 'Cheeto' having almost the same pronunciation of my real name, yea Ma that's true.
I thought your username was some sort of hommage or reverential reference to the delicious Cheeto. Thanks for clarifying.OmCheeto said:My new nick is derived from Sergeant Schultz's perpetualcomment.
I don't remember what sparked my interest in the hobby, but I decided a few years back to learn how to say that in every language on the planet.
So far, I can say it in 30 +/- 10 different languages.
Om Cheeto means; I know nothing. (Although I've decided the phrase is literally ridiculous(being an ellipsis), and cannot be properly translated into most languages. Usually it's most common translation is; "I don't know")
And a link provided by Astronuc to me about a month ago says I've been mispronouncing it for quite some time. Therefore, I want everyone to start referring to me as Ngóh m̀ Jìdou.

You know the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?". It's sort of like that but, I expect it will take a few more years.Pranav-Arora said:There are a lot of interesting and unusual usernames on the board, and I have been wondering how different people have come up with theirs.
Pranav is my real name and hence my username.
How did you come up with yours?
Pranav-Arora said:@Om - Btw, if you don't know, OM is a hindi word too. OM is written like this in hindi :-
At first i thought you might have heard this word somewhere and combined with the name Cheeto. I think Cheeto is a name of snack. ;)
Shouldn't that be a from(age)...Borg said:@Om. I've always seen your username as an Om(age) to Cheetos also.
OmCheeto said:ps. Muhji kooch bee malum nahee.
Danger said:Shouldn't that be a from(age)...
OmCheeto said:"from the butt!" Ask Char.

I was thinking in French.
GregJ said:Hmm... I forget why I chose this username. It'll come back to me some day.
GregJ said:Greg J is my real name FlexGunship. I was just being silly. Although on occasion I wish I chose a funkier username. But alas it's carved in stone now it seems
