Your Aces High call sign? It's significance?
FunkedUp
It's from a Parliament song,  P.Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)..  Getting funked up is what happens when you listen to P.Funk on the intergalactic radio station WEFUNK.  It's not a sexual reference or a reference to vulgarity.

Edit:  That's my old callsign.  Current one is Orze1.  "Orzel" is the Polish word for Eagle, the national symbol, which appears on the national flag and military uniforms and insignia.  It's also a rather potent bird of prey.

TheSpof. A bastardization of my regular nick which is Spof. Some banana here already took Spof. I picked it back in the Confirmed Kill days as it was a four letter pronouncable nick. Fittingly enough, it's also a tech acronym for Single Point Of Failure which sums up my flying at times.
