    flbn is shorthand for fleabane, my favorite flower. it’s a bit of a shitter and most people would consider it a weed; i’ve always been fond of the little guys though. i also just happen to think flea and bane are both kinda cool names.

    It’s Dutch for handle, because this is my online handle. That’s really all there is to it.

        Yeah, it appears in the film “The Internet’s Own Boy”.

        By the way, his username was not “明-3 NOMAD” but rather my real username gary_host_laptop, so he used it twice I think but in a different way which was “Ghost_laptop”, omitting “ary”.

    It’s part of an e-mail alias randomly generated by the SimpleLogin service.

    According to Wikipedia, it’s used as a term for shallow marine sediment that contains noticeable quantities of rounded greenish grains

    Won’t say exactly as it slightly relates to the offline me, but one neat thing about it is that I have it since my brother created a ClubPenguin account for me, back in 2005 hehe
