What's your reason for choosing the username you picked for your character(s)? Was it to be funny or was it related to their canon? Or was it simply because it was the best you could come up with?

[tinkertytonk]

'Tinkerty tonk' is a nonsense phrase invented by P.G. Wodehouse (the author of the canon Bertie comes from). It means 'goodbye,' but has a bit of a bite to it. When Bertie says it in canon, the narration goes something like:

"Tinkerty tonk," I said, and I meant it to sting.

Bertie is a silly character and silly, nonsensical (or overly verbose) jibes are typically what he goes for if he's in a snit. Thus the username.
