At my first UN*X assignment, people were often best known by their
login names - it was very unambiguous.
One rather amusing extension of it was one guy whose initials (and
hence login name) formed a common abbreviation for a rather large
object. He apparently knew nothing about subdirectories; hence his
login directory grew to immense proportions. Such large directories
soon were referred to as ****-sized.
Since I don't know  if anyone on the net could tie me to him, I
won't publish (unless you want to make a game of it - the only
clues are as given).

P.S. It's hard enough trying to get people to realize that "lab"
ISN'T the Engineering Lab (although I am an SE).
