what's your screen name mean?

[expat]

I wanted to use my initials from my hyphenated name (BJ) but I was told that in the US and Canada it meant blow job. Imagine my surprise having been called BJ for 30+ years to now discover this had a different meaning Note: In Australia a blow job was usually called a head job.

Now I feel terrible because as a teacher the kids use to call me Mr BJ, because my actual name was too much of a mouthful (excuse the pun )

the expat screenname came from leaving my beautiful home of Australia to travel the world. So far Hong Kong and USA. Next...hmmm...somewhere in Europe would be cool (wife wants London )
